This review will synthesize the evidence on the experiences of patients undergoing canalith repositioning maneuvers (provided both by health care providers and by the patients themselves) and of health care providers offering canalith repositioning maneuvers in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Despite having proven effectiveness for treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, the underutilization of canalith repositioning maneuvers by health care providers is a concern. Understanding the experiences of patients receiving canalith repositioning maneuvers and the experiences of the health care providers repositioning the canalith is imperative for the effective implementation of these maneuvers.
This review will include qualitative studies describing the experiences of health care providers or patients with canalith repositioning maneuvers provided by health care providers or by patients themselves for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, with or without other interventions, in any setting. Canalith repositioning maneuvers provided by non-qualified health professionals, non-professional caregivers, family caregivers, volunteer caregivers, or other informal caregivers will be excluded.
MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL will be searched. Gray literature will be searched using OpenGrey, PsyArXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and Google Scholar. Articles published in English will be considered, regardless of the publication date. Studies will be screened and critically appraised for methodological quality by 2 independent reviewers. The standardized JBI data extraction tool will be used, and the meta-aggregation approach for data synthesis and the ConQual approach for confidence evaluation will be followed.

本综述将综合有关接受耳石复位手法治疗的患者（由医护人员和患者本人提供）以及提供耳石复位手法的医护人员的经验证据，这些患者患有良性阵发性位置性眩晕。
尽管耳石复位手法已被证明对治疗良性阵发性位置性眩晕有效，但医护人员对其利用不足令人担忧。了解接受耳石复位手法治疗的患者的体验以及医护人员进行耳石复位的体验，对于这些手法的有效实施至关重要。
本综述将包括定性研究，描述接受由医护人员或患者本人提供的耳石复位手法的患者或医护人员的经验，这些研究无论是否有其他干预措施，均针对良性阵发性位置性眩晕，在任何环境中进行。将排除由非合格的卫生专业人员、非专业护理人员、家庭护理人员、志愿护理人员或其他非正式护理人员提供的耳石复位手法。
将在 MEDLINE、Embase、Cochrane 中心、PsycINFO、Scopus、Web of Science 和 CINAHL 中进行检索。将使用 OpenGrey、 PsyArXiv、bioRxiv、medRxiv 和 Google Scholar 搜索灰色文献。将考虑发表在英语的文章，无论出版日期如何。研究将由 2 名独立评审员进行筛选和批判性评估方法学质量。将使用标准化的 JBI 数据提取工具，并遵循数据综合的元聚合方法和信心评估的 ConQual 方法。
