These maneuvers are called canalith repositioning procedures, or "the Epley maneuver," and require special knowledge and skill. A falling sensation after an Epley maneuver is indeed an interesting clinical sign that has not been sufficiently discussed in the literature, and its clinical significance has not been thoroughly evaluated. Seventy percent of the subjects who received the modified Epley maneuver experienced remission of their vertigo and nystagmus, and 57% of the subjects who received the Semont maneuver experienced remission of their vertigo and nystagmus. |
