Abstract：Objective To report effects of modified position restriction on horizontal semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (HSC-BPPV) in which initial manipulative reduction therapies have failed. Methods A to-tal of 70 patients with HSC-BPPV were randomly divided into 2 groups to receive Barbecue manipulative reduction combined with modified sleep position restriction (Group A), or simple Barbecue manipulative reduction (Group B). Short-term therapeutic effects were examined at 3 days and 1 week. Results The rate of improvement at 3 days and 1 week was 90.91%and 96.97%for group A (with residual symptoms seen in 19 and 9 cases, respectively), and 71.88%and 93.75%for group B (with residual symptoms seen in 21 and 11 cases, respectively). The difference between the 2 groups was significant at 3 days (P＜0.05), although not at 1 week (P＞0.05). Conclusion Modified position restriction is effective in treating HSC-BPPV that has failed initial therapies and can be easily adopted as a supplement to regular therapies with rapid resolution of symptoms, which enables resumption of normal sleep positions.
