Title Liberatory or Modified Semont, Posterior Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) for Right Posterior Canal BPPV (Canalithiasis or Cupulolithiasis)

Subject Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV); Vestibular; Vertigo; Positional Vertigo; Nystagmus
Description Posterior canal (PC) accounts for 70-90% cases of BPPV [1-3] and resolves with canalith repositioning maneuvers 90% of the time [4-13]. The Semont/Liberatory maneuver is considered a gold-standard treatment, with class 1 evidence for use and success rates close to 90% [4-13].The Liberatory maneuver needs to be completed quickly, hence the provider may seek additional assistance from a staff member. The patient may benefit from instructions in advance of the maneuver, including the expectation that this maneuver needs to be completed quickly, so the patient may be prepared to assist with the transitions as able.
