Methodology: A prospective study was conducted on 60 patients with posterior canal BPPV. The patients were divided into two groups. Group I: managed by Epply Maneuver and received post-maneuver instructions and the neck were fixed by collar for 4 days. Group II: the same management as group I but without collar fixation.
Results: there was a statistically significant difference in the outcome between the two groups with decrease the chance of recurrence in group I with the serial follow-up.
Conclusion: The use of collar fixation after canalith repositioning maneuver is necessary to improve outcome and decrease the chance of recurrence on posterior canal BPPV patients.
