BPPV Exercises

Brant-Daroff exercises have been used in the past to treat BPPV. Since the development of the Particle repositioning maneuver they are uncommonly recommended. The main downside is that they require patients to intentionally make themselves dizzy on a regular basis for a period of weeks. Their efficacy has been shown to be no greater than other treatments.

Vestibular Physiotherapy is reserved for patients with a permanent or transient loss of balance function. These exercises, including Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises, help the brain to relearn how to use the injured balance organ. The mechanism of disease in BPPV does not suggest that their use would be effective.
