Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHOD: RESULT: After one week treatment, cure rate and total effective rate of treated group was higher than that of control group (78.57% vs. 50.00% and 92.86% vs. 80.95%, P < 0.05, respectively). After four weeks treatment, there was no significant difference in cure rate and total effective rate between two groups (80.95% vs. 71.43% and 95.24% vs. 90.48%, P > 0.05, respectively). After half year, recurrence was found in 3 patients in treated group compared with 7 patients in control group (7.14% vs. 16.67%), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Epley's manoeuvre is the best treatment method of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo together with the medicine. It is easy, safe and effective, and the healing time can be shortened.
