Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the commonest causes of peripheral vestibular disorders. In this prospective study 21 patients with BPPV were treated by Epley's manoeuvre. All patients had an immediate improvement in their symptoms. Recurrence was noted in three patients who required further treatment sessions with resultant improvement in all. However, one patient who originally had suffered from Ménière's disease involving the same ear for more than 14 years developed another recurrence which was treated successfully by further application of Epley's manoeuvre. This study supports the usefulness of Epley's manoeuvre for the treatment of BPPV.
良性阵发性位置性眩晕（BPPV）是周围性前庭疾病最常见的病因之一。在这项前瞻性研究中，21例BPPV患者接受了Epley手法治疗。所有患者的症状均立即得到改善。3例患者出现复发，需要进一步治疗，最终所有患者均获改善。然而，1例原本患有梅尼埃病且累及同一耳超过14年的患者再次复发，通过再次应用Epley手法成功治愈。本研究支持Epley手法治疗BPPV的有效性。
