    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a widely recognized vestibular disorder which occurs with short periods of paroxysmal vertigo produced in specific positions. This investigation targets contrasting the adequacy of two unique moves utilized in the management of posterior canal BPPV (PC-BPPV). One is traditional procedure, Epley repositioning maneuver (ERM) and another is Gans Repositioning maneuver (GRM). To compare the efficacy of maneuvers on vertigo and dizziness for people with posterior canal BPPV using Dix hallpike test, Vertigo Analogue Scale (VAS) and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), 100 people will be recruited confirming to eligibility criteria for this two group (ERM group and GRM group) participant and assessor blinded randomized control study. After Participants will be randomly assigned to either group, the respective maneuver will be performed one or two times until the symptoms resolve. Post maneuver instructions will be demonstrated to each subject nicely. Then, family history will be taken using a questionnaire. Outcomes will be taken once after giving maneuver and then, once after 1 month of treatment. Main outcome variables include VAS, DHI, and Dix hallpike test negativity. If the results indicate that Gans Manoeuvre is equivalent to Epley manoeuvre, then in older and postural compromised BPPV patients who has cervical related neck stiffness and pain or any other disorder, where Epley manoeuvre can not be given as it involves neck extension and rotation, Gans manoeuvre can be given.
