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).
- Your dizzy spells are brief (less than a minute) and happen when you lie down or turn your head.
- 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 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 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 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.
