ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effects of the numbers of the canalith repositioning procedure on the treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(BPPV).Methods A clinical study was conducted on 68 BPPV patients using randomized controlled methods.The canalith repositioning procedure was performed on 34 patients in the treatment group only a day for 3 consecutive days,whereas it was performed on 34 patients in the control group once only,patients in both groups took betahistine mesylate tablets and flunarizine hydrochloride on the basis of ma-nipulative reduction.After one week and three months,the efficacy was evaluated,and the recovery situation was observed.ResuIts After 1 week of treatment,the cure rate was 82.4% in the treatment group,and 58.8% in the control group.The difference was statistically significant (P0.05 ).ConcIusion Based on the classifications of BPPV ,several times of manipulative reduction combined with drug treatment can im-prove short-term cure rates of BPPV and shorten healing time.
