SUMMARY

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of recurrent vertigo, with a lifetime prevalence of about 2.4% and a yearly incidence of roughly 0.6%. It results from displaced otoconia within the semicircular canals and is especially common in older adults. BPPV leads to brief, position-provoked episodes of vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance, and reduced quality of life. Although canalith-repositioning maneuvers are highly effective, recurrence is common, emphasizing the need for supportive and adjunctive management strategies.This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the Additional Effects OF Brandt-Daroff Exercise With GANS Maneuver On dizziness And Quality of Life In Patients with BPPV. Thirty patients with BPPV will be recruited at Fauji Foundation Hospital and screened using the Dizziness Handicap Inverntory Scale(DHI) and Vestibular Activities and Participation measure(VAP). Participants will be randomized into two groups: (1) Reciving GANS Manuever Alone (2) GANS Manuever with Brandt-Daroff Exercises(3 sessions per week/40minutes). Dizziness will be assessed using the Dizziness Handicap Inverntory Scale(DHI) , quality of life using the Activities and Participation Measure(VAP) Scale. Outcome measures will be recorded at baseline and post-intervention. Ethical approval will be obtained from FUMC ERC, and data will be analyzed using SPSS v.22.

Treatments
Experimental: GANS Maneuver with Brand-Daroff Exercises
GANS Maneuver include:~1. Sit upright on a bed with legs extended.~2. Turn patient head 45° toward the affected ear.~3. Quickly lie back so patient head is slightly hanging over the edge~4. Hold this position 30-60 seconds or until vertigo stops.~5. Without lifting the head, rotate it 90° toward the opposite side (45° past midline).~6. Hold again for 30-60 seconds.~7. Continue turning patient head in the same direction and roll onto side so nose faces the floor.~8. Hold 30-60 seconds.~9. Sit up slowly, keeping patient chin slightly tucked.~10. Rest in sitting for about a minute. (3 reps/2 times per week) BRANDTDAROFF EXERCISES Sit upright on the edge of your bed. Turn your head 45° to the left. Keeping the head turned, quickly lie down on your right side. Hold this position 30 seconds or until vertigo stops. Return to sitting; hold 30 seconds. Turn your head 45° to the right. Quickly lie down on your left side. Hold 30 seconds or until vertigo stops. Return to sitting; hold 30 seconds.
