A number of maneuvers have been found to be effective including Canalith Repositioning Procedures (CRP) such as the Epley maneuver, the Half Somersault Maneuver (HSM), the Semont maneuver, and to a lesser degree the non-CRP Brandt–Daroff exercises. [5] [28] Both the Epley and the Semont maneuvers are equally effective.
The Epley maneuver or repositioning maneuver is a maneuver used by medical professionals to treat one common cause of vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) [1] [needs update] of the posterior or anterior canals of the ear. [2]

Radtke et al. have suggested that home treatment is both safe and effective when training is adequate but that the key cause of failure of the home treatment is an imperfect repositioning maneuver. [4] As a result of failed home treatments, the DizzyFIX was developed to assist patients in the performance of a correct particle repositioning ...

(2004). "Self-treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: Semont maneuver vs Epley procedure.". Neurology. 63 ...
The test may need to be performed more than once, as it is not always easy to demonstrate observable nystagmus that is typical of BPPV. Also, the test results can be affected by the speed with which the maneuver is conducted and the plane of the occiput. [5] There are several disadvantages proposed by Cohen for the classic maneuver.
