Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy between 360-degree maneuver and Epley maneuver repositioning treatment in patients with posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
Methods: There were 69 patients with posterior semicircular canal BPPV were randomly divided into study group (n = 35, treated with 360-degree maneuver) and the control group (n = 34, treated with Epley maneuver). The efficacy and the residual symptoms after recovery between the two groups were compared.
Results: There were 91.4% (32/35) of the patients in the study group and 88.2% (30/34) of the patients in the control group achieved recovery after single treatment, and the difference was not significant (P > 0.05). The proportions of patients who achieved recovery after two treatments were 8.6% (3/35) in the study group and 11.8% (4/34) in the control group, and the difference was also not significant (P > 0.05). The proportion of patients who had been cured but still had residual symptoms (including dizziness, walking instability and neck discomfort) in the study group was 17.1% (6/34), which was significantly lower than that of the control group [29.4% (10/35)] (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: 360-Degree maneuver and Epley maneuver in the treatment of posterior semicircular canal BPPV can achieve similar effectiveness, but less residual symptoms are observed in patients treated with 360-Degree maneuver, which can improve the quality of life of the patients, and has the advantages of simpler operation, better comfort, and higher clinical application value.
