The number of patients with either relief or complete remission of subjective symptoms are listed as well as percentages (parenthesis). Please note that 99 out of 105 (94.3%) overall experienced relief of subjective symptoms independent of the assigned treatment maneuver and that there were no significant differences between the reported subjective relief/remission rates between the individual treatment subgroups. Also note that two patients required a total of eight treatments (one in the Epley- and one in the 360-degree subgroup). 360, 360-degree somersault maneuver.
