Head acupuncture for BPPV residual symptoms
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether head acupuncture can help with lingering symptoms (like unsteadiness or discomfort) that sometimes remain after a successful repositioning procedure for BPPV, a common cause of vertigo. If you feel better but not fully steady, this treatment might help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with BPPV and the repositioning maneuver worked.
- After the maneuver, you still have symptoms like feeling unsteady or discomfort, but no spinning or dizziness.
- You can communicate clearly and have no vision problems that would interfere.
- You agree to the treatment plan, and your family supports it.
- You do not have other ear diseases, a history of head injury or surgery, or conditions like joint problems that affect walking.
- You are not pregnant, and you have not had vestibular rehabilitation before.

This trial tests a new way to treat a common inner ear condition called BPPV that hasn't improved with standard head maneuvers. It aims to help people whose dizziness keeps coming back.
This trial looks at whether taking vitamin D and calcium can reduce repeat episodes of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a type of brief spinning dizziness caused by inner-ear crystal movement. If your dizziness keeps coming back, this may help prevent future episodes.
This study compares two types of balance training—Wii Fit exercises and standard vestibular rehab—to see which helps people with BPPV (a common cause of vertigo). If you have moderate BPPV, you may join to help improve your balance.
This study looks at people with a common inner ear dizziness problem called BPPV, and compares them to healthy volunteers. It uses brain scans and other tests to learn more about the condition.
This study tests if adding special head exercises (Brandt-Daroff) to two different repositioning maneuvers (Epley or Semont-Plus) helps reduce dizziness and improve quality of life in people with a common inner ear condition called BPPV.
This study compares two different head movement procedures (Epley and Semont-plus) to treat a common type of vertigo caused by tiny calcium crystals moving in the inner ear. If you have this condition in one ear only and are generally healthy, you may be eligible to help find which treatment works better.
