Posterior-canal-type benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) exhibits a phenomenon known as BPPV fatigue, in which dizziness or vertigo symptoms and positional nystagmus weaken or disappear when the patient repeatedly assumes a vertigo-inducing head position. During these provoking head positions, the posterior canal on the affected side is stimulated, and the observed positional nystagmus represents excitatory nystagmus. Therefore, BPPV fatigue occurs in excitatory positional nystagmus. Meanwhile, in posterior-canal-type BPPV, inhibitory positional nystagmus is also elicited due to inhibition of the posterior canal on the affected side; however, it remains unclear whether BPPV fatigue occurs in inhibitory positional nystagmus. The purpose of this study is to clarify this question.

Assessment and collection of safety data for the Imai maneuver
In patients with posterior-canal-type benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, inhibitory nystagmus in the affected posterior canal is induced by bending the head forward and rotating it toward the affected side while in a sitting position (a procedure called the Imai maneuver). The primary outcome measure of this study was the ratio of the maximum slow-phase eye velocity of positional nystagmus recorded during the second Imai maneuver to that recorded during the first Imai maneuver.

| Maneuver |
Patients will be randomly assigned to either Group A or Group B, and the following interventions will be performed.
Group A
The Imai maneuver will be performed first, followed by a second Imai maneuver. During the second maneuver, the patient will maintain the head-bent-forward and affected side rotated position until the positional nystagmus disappears or for up to 30 seconds. The patient will then return to the upright sitting position, after which the Dix Hallpike maneuver toward the affected side will be performed. After returning to the sitting position again, a third Imai maneuver will be performed, and the head bent forward and affected side rotated position will be maintained until the nystagmus disappears or for up to 30 seconds. After completion of these procedures, the study intervention for that patient will end, and standard clinical care for posterior canal type benign paroxysmal positional vertigo will be provided thereafter.
Group B
The Imai maneuver will be performed first, followed by the Dix Hallpike maneuver toward the affected side. After returning to the sitting position, a second Imai maneuver will be performed, and the head bent forward and affected side rotated position will be maintained until the positional nystagmus disappears or for up to 30 seconds. After completion of these procedures, the study intervention for that patient will end, and standard clinical care for posterior canal type benign paroxysmal positional vertigo will be provided thereafter.
