Complete resolution of BPPV-related objective findings and subjective symptoms.
| Number of treatments | Semont (n = 37) | Epley (n = 34) | 360 (n = 34) | Total (n = 105) | p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| One | 18 (48.6) | 21 (61.7) | 10 (29.4) | 49 (46.7) | 0.03 |
| Two | 3 (8.1) | 2 (5.9) | 4 (11.8) | 9 (8.6) | |
| Three | 2 (5.4) | 2 (5.9) | 3 (8.8) | 7 (6.7) | |
| Four | 1 (2.9) | 1 (1.0) | |||
| Overall | 23/37 (62.2) | 25/34 (73.5) | 18/34 (52.9) | 66/105 (62.9) | 0.21 |
The number of patients with complete remission of both objective findings AND subjective symptoms are listed as well as percentages (parenthesis). Please note that the Epley maneuver is the most efficient treatment modality after one treatment (significant) but also note that overall success rates did not differ significantly between subgroups. The 360-degree somersault maneuver seems to be the least efficient repositional maneuver, especially after one treatment. That tendency is, however, non-significant. Significant value of ps are provided in bold. 360, 360-degree somersault maneuver.
