Comparing two head exercises for dizziness from BPPV
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether adding Brandt-Daroff exercises (simple head movements you can do at home) to a standard treatment called GANS maneuver helps reduce dizziness and improve daily life for people with 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.
This study tests whether a simple head movement called the Epley maneuver can help treat dizziness caused by a common inner ear condition (BPPV) in the emergency room. If you have short episodes of vertigo that last less than 2 minutes, you may be able to join.
This study is looking at whether dizziness and balance problems in older adults are caused by BPPV (tiny crystals in the inner ear). If you qualify, you may be diagnosed with simple head movements.
This study looks at whether people with BPPV (a type of vertigo triggered by head movement) have lower vitamin D levels than those who don't have vertigo. Your participation may help clarify if vitamin D plays a role in BPPV.
This study compares two rotating chairs used to diagnose benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a common cause of dizziness. If you have typical vertigo symptoms, this trial may help find the best way to diagnose your condition.
