Table 7.

Treatment failures.

Semont (n = 37) Epley (n = 34) 360 (n = 34) Total (n = 105)
No remission or relief of subjective symptoms (persisting positional vertigo) 3 (2.9) 1 (1.0) 2 (1.9) 6 (5.7)
No remission or relief of objective findings (persisting positional nystagmus) 1 (1.0) 3 (2.9) 4 (3.8) 8 (7.6)
Neither subjective nor objective remission/relief (persisting positional vertigo and -nystagmus) 0 (0.0) 1 (1.0) 1 (1.0) 2 (1.9)

Treatment failures were defined as patients who were not successfully treated after a total of ten treatments. Please note that numbers are low, especially considering the patients that neither had subjective nor objective relief: 2 out of 105 patients (1.9%). Also note that, even though not included in this table, 4 out of 6 (66.7%) patients in the group with no remission or relief of subjective BPPV-related symptoms and 6 out of 8 (75%) patients in the group with no remission or relief of objective findings had canalolithiasis subtype BPPV.
