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]
This maneuver can be performed during a clinic visit by health professionals, or taught to people to perform at home, or both. [36] Postural restriction after the Epley maneuver increases its effect somewhat. [37] When practiced at home, the Epley maneuver is more effective than the Semont maneuver.
Benign vertigo episodes generally last less than one minute. [2] The Dix-Hallpike test typically produces a period of rapid eye movements known as nystagmus in this condition. [ 1 ] In Ménière's disease there is often ringing in the ears , hearing loss , and the attacks of vertigo last more than twenty minutes. [ 9 ]
The Valsalva maneuver can also help to temporarily unblock or equalize the pressure in the middle ear. To do this, simply pinch your nostrils closed with one hand and blow air through your nose.
