Therapeutic Efficacy of the Modified Epley Maneuver With a Pillow Under the Shoulders.

Conclusion: The therapeutic efficacy of the mEpley-PS was comparable to that of the standard mEpley. The use of the pillow modification may be an excellent alternative if a patient cannot tolerate the head-hanging position, and it is helpful for patients who have anxiety about the head-hanging position. The mEpley-PS can be performed on a bed with or without a headboard. It is both a patient-friendly and a clinician-friendly maneuver. PMID: 32279471 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
