ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVETo explore the influence of positional change speed on the recovery rate and discomfort degree of the patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.METHODSPatients with detailed records from September 2012 to September 2015 were reviewed. 358 patients were divided into quick maneuver (0.05). The VAS is 7.70±3.95 and 5.18±3.56 respectively in the quick and slow maneuver group, there is significant differences between the groups (t=3.38,P<0.05).CONCLUSION Positional changing speed does not influence the recovery rate of the BPPV, while the slow maneuver can reduce the discomfort degree.
