Abstract

Background: Vertigo is one of the most distressing symptom seen in patients encountered in clinical practice by otolaryngologist and neurologist. It results from dysfunction of vestibular system, among which most common is BBPV(benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). BPPV present with short episodes of vertigo lasting for few seconds, usually precipitated by change in head position. In BPPV, otoconia from utricles are thought to collect in semicircular canal making them abnormally gravity sensitive. BPPV is clinical diagnosis on the basis of typical history and Dix Hallpike testing. Dr. T Brandt and Daroff introduced Brandt daroff home exercises based on cupulolithiasis theory. In 1980, John M Epley introduced canalolith repositioning procedure of Epley in the treatment of BPPV. Because of lack of consensus regarding the optimal treatment maneuver, in our study we have compared the effectiveness of Brandt Daroff and Epleys maneuver.
