Clinical Trial Summary

A study to establish the efficacy of a new type of mechanical rotational chair in treating BPPV. In addition, comparison of three types of treatment maneuvers using the mechanical rotational chair.

Description:

Open-label, randomized controlled trial comparing three different treatment maneuvers in a mechanical rotational chair (ROTUNDUM-chair) in treating BPPV. Patients diagnosed with BPPV will be randomized to one of three maneuvers in the ROTUNDUM-chair: 1. Epley's maneuver 2. Semont maneuver 3. 360 degree vertical rotation
