New combo therapy aims to stop the spins for BPPV sufferers
NCT ID NCT07267988
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding Brandt-Daroff exercises to the usual GANS maneuver can reduce dizziness and improve quality of life for people with BPPV, a common inner-ear condition that causes brief spinning spells. About 30 adults with BPPV will be split into two groups: one gets the GANS maneuver alone, the other gets GANS plus exercises three times a week. Researchers will measure dizziness and daily activity limitations before and after treatment.
