(Benign Positional Vertigo; Benign Postural Vertigo; BPPV)

BPPV usually dissipates within a few weeks or months, but it may last several months or years. Due to the possibility that this condition may persist, drug treatment (such as drugs used in Ménière's disease) is not recommended. Normally, side effects of drugs exacerbate imbalance.

Canalith's relocation action (most commonly Epley's operation, Semont's operation, or Brandt-Daroff's execution) moves the head to a series of specific positions designed to return the wrong pipe to the estrus To do. After Epre or Semonto surgery, the patient should remain upright or semi-upright for 1 to 2 days to avoid flexion or extension of the neck. These operations can be repeated as necessary. In contrast, the Brandt-Daroff movement was held five times in the patient's house for about two weeks or three times a day until exercise is not ridiculing.

In Semont surgery, the patient is sitting upright in the center of the stretcher. The patient's head rotates towards the unaffected ear; this rotation is maintained throughout the operation. Next, lower the torso down the stretcher so that the patient lies next to the affected part so that the nose faces up. Three minutes at this position, the patient quickly moved the upright position without rectifying the head and was lowered laterally to the opposite side with the nose down. Three minutes at this position, the patient slowly returns to the upright position and the head rotates to its normal position.

Brandt - Daroff 's movement can teach patients. The patient sits straight and then lies on one side with a nose at a 45 degree angle. The patient remains in this position for about 30 seconds, or until dizziness subsides and returns to the seated position. Repeat the same movement on the opposite side. This cycle is repeated 5 times in succession, 3 times a day, for about 2 weeks, or until exercise is no longer dizzy.
