What is Epley's maneuver?

Epley is a technique used to treat benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). This technique passes through the patient through a number of positions that are designed to release the residues in the ear, causing dizziness. In approximately 70% of cases, the Epley maneuver is very effective and the patient does not need any further subsequent treatment. In other cases, further positional therapy may be required or more aggressive treatment such as surgery may be required. Doctors strongly recommend that this happen in the office of a doctor or a therapist for several reasons. The first is that numerous health problems can cause dizziness, so it is important to ensure that the Epley maneuver is the best treatment for the patient. The second is that the ear for Vertigo needs to be properly identified to ensure that the procedure works, and it is also important to have a physician present during the Epley maneuver if the patient is experiencing complications.

inThis procedure is first seated on the nursing table and its head is tilted by a doctor towards the "bad side" where the ear is placed behind the problems. Furthermore, the patient is quickly pulled into the back position and holds in place for about a minute before the head is tilted to the other side and holds. Then the patient flips to his side, holds the position for a minute and suddenly sits down. This cycle is repeated twice more.

during the Epley maneuver, the patient usually experiences dizziness and dizziness and is therefore important because it provides stability. After the procedure, the patient may be too dizziness than to walk a few minutes of buttons usually recommend that their patients get home from a friend or family member. In days immediately after exercises, the head must be kept vertical and the patient must sleep in the pole position. After about a week, the patient may start to participate in normal activities to see if Vertigo develops.

At home, patients can use Brandt-Daroff exercises to manage dizziness.Some doctors can also show their patients how to safely perform domestic epley maneuvering. Patients should not try to cure dizziness and dizziness with domestic exercises until they do not determine the cause of the problem, because the epley maneuver does not solve anything but the accumulation of calcium carbonate crystals in the ear and in fact can complicate conditions such as tumors.
