Abstract
BACKGROUND: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is a common cause of vertigo caused by dislodged otoconia. PURPOSE: To study the therapeutic efficacy in Indian population and modify the Canalith repositioning procedure (CRP) into a simple, precise and easily reproducible out door procedure. METHODS: All patients with Posterior canal BPPV were selected based on Dix Hallpike test and were subjected to CRP. RESULTS: 92% patients had type I response ie no vertigo and negative repeat D-H test. No complications were observed. CONCLUSION: CRP is highly effective, simple, bed side therapy for Posterior canal BPPV.
