The BPPV or benign positional paroxysmal vertigo is usually a benign disorder with the labyrinth in the inner ear characterized by paroxysmal vertigo and nystagmus as long as your head is in a particular direction. The diagnosis manufactured at bedside by moving patient with the sitting position to recumbency with head tilted down 30 degreee over end of table and 30 degrees to 1 side.

Another BPPV treatment attempts to advance the debris away from the posterior canal by moving the patient’s head by having a series of position.
For the best BPPV treatment result, The evaluation and management in the patient with BPPV disease is most successful when conducted within multidisciplinary approach. Beyond just the physician, key members from the evaluation and rehabilitation team can sometimes include vestibular physiologists, audiologists, nurses, electrophysiology technicians, physical and occupational therapist, and other appropriate allied health specialists
The BPPV treatment options include : canalith repositioning or epley maneuver, Semont Liberatory maneuver, Desensitization Exercises and Surgery. The patients, especially those with long histories of BPPV, could have anxiety about stepping into the provoking position. Brandt daroff exercises may perhaps be modified so the patient has additional control within the position change and gradually becomes less fearful of provoking the vertigo and nausea. Also patients may would prefer to perform the exercises on to the floor, instead of on the bed, since they know they will not fall. The anxious patient, however, may move out of the provoking position too rapidly when planning to do the exercises on her / his own, or may move too slowly on the position avoiding provoking the vertigo.
