    Abstract:
    CONCLUSION: Vertigo treatment and rehabilitation chair (TRV) may be suggested as the first choice for patients with posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (p-BPPV). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the short- and long-term treatment efficacy of the canalith repositioning procedure (CRP) versus TRV for patients with p-BPPV. METHODS: A total of 165 patients with unilateral p-BPPV were assigned to either the CRP group or the TRV group. Patients were assessed at 1 week, 4 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after their first treatment. The numbers of treatment sessions required for successful repositioning in both groups at 4 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months were recorded. RESULTS: Treatment efficacy of patients in the TRV group was significantly better than that of patients in the CRP group 1 week after the first treatment. The number of treatment sessions needed for successful repositioning was significantly lower in the TRV group than in the CRP group at 4 weeks and 3 months after the first treatment.
