The Treatment of Posterior Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

For Modified Epley maneuver, the patient was placed in the upright position with the head turned 45 degrees toward the affected ear. And then the patient was rapidly laid back to the supine head-hanging position for 1 minute. Next, the head was turned 90 degrees toward the other (unaffected) side for 1 minute. Next, the head is turned a further 90 degrees (usually necessitating the patient's body to also move from the supine position to the lateral decubitus position) such that the patient' head is nearly in the facedown position for 1 minute. The patient is then brought into the upright sitting position for 1 minute, completing the maneuver.

Patient's head was turned 45 degrees toward the healthy side. And then patient was rapidly moved to affected side-lying position and sustained for 2 minutes. Next, Patient is rapidly taken to the opposite side-lying position without pausing in the sitting position or changing the head position relative to the shoulder for 2 minutes. Next, Patient returns slowly with the head still tilted and fixed until the seated position for 1 minute.

Like the modified Epley maneuver, but the direction was reverse.
