About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for HC-BPPV focused on measuring BPPV(benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), HC-BPPV(BPPV involving the horizontal semicircular canal), Nystagmus, Treatment outcome, Horizontal Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- a history of brief episodes of positional vertigo,
- direction-changing horizontal nystagmus beating toward the uppermost (apogeotropic nystagmus) or undermost (geotropic nystagmus) ear in both the lateral head turning positions,
- no spontaneous nystagmus during upright sitting position, and
- absence of identifiable central nervous system disorders that could explain the positional vertigo and nystagmus.
Exclusion Criteria:
- central positional nystagmus with identifiable CNS lesions that could explain the positional nystagmus

Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Treatment of Apogeotropic Horizontal Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Randomized Clinical Trial
The immediate treatment response was determined by participating neurologists in each clinic without knowing the maneuver applied to each patient from 30 minutes to one hour after initial maneuver. The absence of both vertigo and nystagmus was required to determine a resolution.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to compare the immediate efficacies of each treatment maneuvers in treatment of apogeotropic horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HC-BPPV).
Detailed Description
A randomized prospective study of patients with HC-BPPV. Patients with apogeotropic type of HC-BPPV were randomized to one of each three treatment groups at their first clinic visit. These groups included the Gufoni maneuver, head-shaking maneuver, and sham group in apogeotropic HC-BPPV. Responsiveness of treatment maneuver was determined by positioning maneuver immediately after each treatment method based on resolves of vertigo and positional nystagmus.

Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Gufoni maneuver
Intervention Description
For Gufoni maneuver,16,18 the patient was quickly brought down to the side-lying position on the affected ear from the sitting position. After one minute in this position, the head of the patient was quickly turned 45O upward, so that the nose directed upward. Approximately 2 minutes later, the patient was returned to the upright position (Figure 2A).
Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Head-shaking maneuver
Intervention Description
For head-shaking maneuver,15 patients were brought into a sitting position. After pitching the head forward by approximately 30O, we moved the head sideways in a sinusoidal fashion at an approximate rate of 3 Hz for 15 seconds.
Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
sham maneuver
Intervention Description
For the sham maneuver, patients quickly lied on the unaffected side, and returned to the sitting position after one minute.
