Table 2.
Numbers of treatments required before successful treatment.
| Semont (n = 37) | Epley (n = 34) | 360 (n = 34) | Total (n = 105) | p-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average number of treatments given, mean (SD) | 1.3 (0.6) | 1.6 (1.3) | 1.7 (1.4) | 1.5 (1.2) | 0.38 |
| Objective success (complete remission of positional nystagmus), mean (SD), n = 88 | 1.4 (0.7) | 1.5 (1.4) | 1.6 (0.9) | 1.5 (1.0) | 0.71 |
| Subjective success (complete remission of subjective symptoms), mean (SD), n = 71 | 1.3 (0.6) | 1.3 (0.7) | 1.6 (0.9) | 1.4 (0.7) | 0.30 |
Most patients experienced concomitant remission of both objective findings and subjective symptoms. The number of required treatments did not differ significantly when defining successful treatment exclusively by complete remission of either objective findings or subjective symptoms.
