Spinning chair could stop vertigo faster for BPPV patients
NCT ID NCT05834452
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 38 times
Summary
This study tests two different head-and-body rotation procedures done in a mechanical chair to treat a common inner-ear condition called BPPV, which causes brief but intense spinning sensations. 128 adults with confirmed BPPV will be randomly assigned to either the standard Epley maneuver or a newer 360-degree maneuver, both performed in the chair. The goal is to see which method stops vertigo and involuntary eye movements more quickly and with fewer repeat treatments.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
mechanical rotational chair maneuvers (Epley and 360-degree)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a faster, more effective way to stop vertigo spells in people with BPPV using a special rotating chair.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (128 people) comparing two procedures, so results may not apply to everyone. The chair may not be widely available, and some people may not tolerate the movements.
