Head Acupuncture Treat Residual Symptoms After Canalith Repositioning Procedure for BPPV

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder, and currently, manual repositioning techniques are often used for treatment. However, up to 30%-50% of patients may experience residual symptoms such as non-rotational dizziness, heaviness, instability, and emotional disturbances even after successful repositioning, which significantly impacts their daily functioning and quality of life. Electroacupuncture therapy has been proven to be an effective treatment for dizziness and has been applied to various vestibular disorder patients. However, the efficacy of electroacupuncture on the residual effects of successfully repositioned BPPV patients remains unclear. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of three regimens: electroacupuncture, betahistine in patients with residual symptoms after successful manual repositioning.
