title: Management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
abstract: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common balance disorders of the peripheral vestibular system. Diagnosis is made from patient history and the manifestation of specific symptoms. Treatment differs for the individual patient and may include pharmacological, surgical, dietary, and/or therapeutic modalities. Various versions of Modified Liberatory Maneuvers (MLM), and other, similar rehabilitation therapy treatments have been shown to be very effective in the management of the BPPV patient.
