Efficacy of combined canalith-repositioning procedure and supine to prolonged lateral position in treating posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Posterior benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (p-BPPV) is the most common type of BPPV, and canalith-repositioning procedure (CRP) is frequently applied for treatment. Supine to prolonged lateral position (SPLP), a simple home-based maneuver, can be performed for treatment of p-BPPV. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether combination of CRP and SPLP could be more effective in symptom alleviation compared with CRP alone and reduce times of repeated CRP for patients with p-BBPV.
