Efficacy of Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy on Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo After Repositioning: Improvement of Vestibular Symptoms and Vertigo Disability

The authors aimed to evaluate the efficacy of vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) for patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) who continue to experience symptoms after repositioning, and to explore differences between the two subtypes of BPPV: posterior canal (pc-BPPV) and horizontal canal (hc-BPPV). The study found that VRT significantly improved residual symptoms compared to a control group, with subtype-specific differences observed in early symptom relief and functional recovery. These findings suggest that VRT can enhance rehabilitation outcomes for BPPV patients, highlighting the importance of tailored approaches based on BPPV subtype.
