Studies

Clinical trials at the University of Western Ontario indicate that there is a high success rate in treating active BPPV using the DizzyFIX.

Other home treatments can fail due to incorrectly performing the treatment ^{(Radtke et al. ref 21)}. The DizzyFIX helps you perform the particle repostioning maneuver (Epley maneuver) correctly the first time. ^{(Beyea et al. ref 33)} .

The DizzyFIX is highly effective. Preliminary tests by Clearwater Clinical indiciate that using the device affects the way people perform the maneuver. Clinical trials at the University of Western Ontario indicate that it effectively treats active BPPV with a 88% success rate. Although the DizzyFIX may be of use in Vestibular Rehabilitation its primary use is in the treatment of BPPV. The DizzyFIX is not recommended for the treatment of other vestibular disorders.

The DizzyFIX is a scientific but entirely non-pharmaceutical therapy. The nature of the disease necessitates that people who use the device experience vertigo, for one last time, as the particles which cause BPPV are repositioned. There are no side effects to this maneuver and it can be repeated as often as required. Common sense should be employed while using this device. Users are encouraged to have supervision while using the device and to conduct the maneuvers on the floor such that a fall during repositioning is not possible. People with limited neck mobility or other neck problems should consult their family doctor prior to use of the device.
