Vitamin D and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a diagnosis of BPPV (vertigo that lasts less than 1 minute when you move your head in a certain way, confirmed by a specific test).
- You are not on medications like anticonvulsants or steroids that affect vitamin D levels.
- You do not have conditions like kidney disease, malabsorption, or hyperparathyroidism that affect vitamin D.
- If you are a control, you have no history of vertigo or BPPV, and your test is negative.

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 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 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.
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 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.
