Abstract

Background and objective: posterior canal BPPV is one of the common cause
for vertigo. Well established treatment methods such as semont liberatory maneuver
(SLM) and epley maneuver (EM) are choice of treatment in most patients. These
maneuvers are contraindicated in certain group of patients with neck, back and hip
mobility issues where in gans repositioning maneuver (GRM) is tried. This study
intends to assess the efficacy of this technique.
Methodology: Total of 30 patients including 15 male and 15 female patients were
included in the study. All the patients underwent GRM as a definitive treatment
modality. Patients who responded within 2 attempts were considered successful treatment.
Results: Out of 30 patients 27 patients (90%) were treated successfully within two
attempts of GRM. 3 patients (10%) were considered unresponsive. Male patients responded
better (93.3%) compared to female patients (86.7%). None of the patients
had any discomfort during the procedure.
Conclusion: This study shows that GRM is an effective method in treatment of posterior
canal BPPV and results are comparable to outcome of similar studies conducted
by various authors using other maneuvers such as EM and SLM. Further studies which
include patients with neck, back and hip mobility issues can prove its safety.
