Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to verify, through a randomized controlled trial, that in patients with posterior canal type of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, the characteristic fatigue phenomenon where the nystagmus elicited by the second Dix Hallpike test becomes weaker than that of the first can be suppressed by performing a maneuver that restores fatigued positional nystagmus immediately before the second test, thereby inducing stronger positional nystagmus compared with cases in which the maneuver is not performed.
