Personalized treatment for persistent BPPV
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with BPPV (a type of dizziness triggered by head movements).

- Standard repositioning maneuvers (like the Epley maneuver) have not worked after three attempts.
- You do not have other medical conditions that make the maneuvers difficult or risky.
- You are able to understand the study procedures and give informed consent.

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.
This study tests if taking vitamin D and calcium supplements can reduce the number of repeat vertigo episodes in people with BPPV and low vitamin D levels. The treatment is simple and may help you have fewer dizzy spells.
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 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 trial compares two standard head movement exercises to treat a common cause of dizziness from inner ear crystals. Both maneuvers are designed to move the crystals back to where they belong, and the study looks at which is more effective.
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.
