ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate three-axis otoconia maneuver (TOM) for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The data from twenty BPPV patients who received three-axis otoconia maneuver treatment and 20 BPPV patients who received canalith repositioning (CRP) maneuver treatment were analyzed retrospectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were 17 patients received 1 TOM session and 3 patients received 2 TOM sessions while 16 patients received 1 CRP session and 4 patients received 2 CRP sessions. The chi-square (X2) test was used in evaluating the association between two independent samples in a contingency table. Both methods had no statistically significant. The significance level for statistical tests was 5% (alpha = 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Three-axis otoconia maneuver could be effective used in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo with the advantage of repeatedly practicable and instrumental.</p>
