BENIGN POSITIONAL PAROXYSMAL VERTIGO (BPPV)

Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 7

Abstract

The most common peripheral vestibular disorder generally is agreed to be BPPV. The hallmark of the disease is brief spells (lasting seconds) of often severe vertigo that are experienced after specific movements of the head.  The head movements that most commonly cause symptoms are rolling over in bed and extreme posterior extension of the head as if looking under a sink.  Current understanding of this disease has evolved such that specific therapies based on accepted theories have been developed and proved successful in controlling symptoms.
