[Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo treatment]

Area of Science:

• Neurology
• Otolaryngology
• Vestibular Disorders

Background:

• Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo.
• The TRV chair offers optimized management for complex BPPV cases.
• Existing literature lacks specific TRV chair guidance for diverse BPPV subtypes.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present techniques for managing BPPV using the TRV chair.
• To address both canalolithiasis and cupulolithiasis within the TRV chair protocol.
• To provide a guide for TRV chair application across all semicircular canals.

Main Methods:

• Detailed description of TRV chair techniques for BPPV.
• Application of methods for canalolithiasis and cupulolithiasis.
• Categorization of techniques by affected semicircular canal.

Main Results:

• Established techniques for TRV chair management of BPPV subtypes.
• Demonstrated applicability to all semicircular canals.
• Provided a structured approach for complex BPPV cases.

Conclusions:

• The TRV chair is a valuable asset for managing BPPV in a tertiary referral center.
• This article provides the first guide for TRV chair management of different BPPV subtypes.
• The presented techniques optimize the treatment of canalolithiasis and cupulolithiasis.
