An interventional study of The Epley Maneuver and The 360 Degree Maneuver in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo and BPPV, sponsored by Aalborg University Hospital. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in Denmark. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-10-02.
Sponsored by Aalborg University Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Comparison of treatment efficacy of Epley maneuver and 360 maneuver in a mechanical rotational chair (TRV chair) in patient with posterior benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
Open-label, randomized controlled trial comparing the Epley maneuver with the 360 maneuver using the TRV chair in both scenarios. Patients diagnosed with posterior BPPV will be randomized to receive treatment with either the Epley maneuver or the 360 maneuver.

Procedure: The 360 Degree Maneuver · Device: Mechanical rotational chair
5 step procedure where the patient: 1. Sits upright in a neutral position 2. Rotate 45° towards the affected side around the yaw axis and then ro-tate 135° backward around the pitch axis 3. Rotated 90° towards the unaffected side around the yaw axis 4. Rotate a further 90° toward the unaffected side around the yaw axis 5. Rotates back to an upright position with a 135° backward rotation around the pitch axis.
