Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common vestibular disorders.
To study the recurrence and persistence of BPPV in patients treated with canalith repositioning maneuvers (CRM) during the period of one year.
longitudinal contemporary cohort series.
One hundred patients with BPPV were followed up during 12 months after a treatment with CRM. Patients were classified according to disease evolution. Aquatic physiotherapy for vestibular rehabilitation (APVR) protocol was applied in cases of persistent BPPV.
After CRM, 96% of the patients were free from BPPV's typical nystagmus and dizziness. During the follow up period of 1 year, 26 patients returned with typical BPPV nystagmus and vertigo. Nystagmus and vertigo were persistent in 4% of the patients. Persistent BPPV presented improvement when submitted to APVR.
During the period of one year, BPPV was not recurrent in 70% of the patients, recurrent in 26% and persistent in 4%.

研究采用管石复位手法(CRM)治疗后 1 年内 BPPV 患者的复发和持续情况。
纵向同期队列研究。
100 例 BPPV 患者在接受 CRM 治疗后 12 个月内进行随访。根据疾病演变对患者进行分类。对于持续 BPPV,应用水疗前庭康复(APVR)方案。
