Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common condition that often resolves spontaneously, but can cause significant distress to a patient. Management of this condition includes no intervention, medication, surgery, physical exercises and more recently 'particle repositioning' manoeuvres. Repositioning manoeuvres aim to relocate free-floating particles from the posterior semicircular canal into the utricle where they will no longer cause vertiginous symptoms. This article describes the different exercises and repositioning manoeuvres in use and examines their efficacy. In the light of this review a management strategy for BPPV is suggested.
