Tilt table testing could provoke fainting or syncope. It is the purpose of the test to provoke these symptoms, in order to aid in diagnosis.

The estimated sensitivity is 79%, along with an estimated specificity of 75%. 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.

[32] The HINTS test involves the horizontal head impulse test, observation of nystagmus on primary gaze, and the test of skew ...
