description

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) represents the most common cause of peripheral vertigo. The treatment of this apparently intractable disease is actually a physical treatment: performing manoeuvres on the patient to restore the normal condition of the inner ear. However, the following information will help readers who are unfamiliar with BPPV to improve their knowledge of the condition.
