[Diagnosis and therapy of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo]

Abstract

The clinical features and therapeutical aspects of 31 patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) were studied. Attention is drawn to diagnostic criteria such as the "Hallpike manoeuvre" and guidelines are given for the differentiation of BPPV and cervical nystagmus. The results of this study are discussed with special regard to habituation training.
