For Home Treatment Of B.P.P.V

By prescription only.
Do not use without the instruction and permission from your physician.

The Brandy-Daroff exercises are one method of treating Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (B.P.P.V). These exercises are performed in three sets per day for 2 weeks. In each set, one performs the maneuver described below 5 times.

Suggested schedule:
Morning, Noon and Evening, 5 repetitions each day for 2 weeks or until dizziness is completely resolved.

Repetition:
Sit upright on the side of the bed. Then move to the side-lying position with your head rotated towards the ceiling. Stay in this position for 30 seconds, or until the dizziness subsides. If you are still feeling some dizziness after 30 seconds, return to the sitting position. Stay in the seated position for 30 seconds, and then go to the opposite side-lying position with your head rotated towards the ceiling.

Repeat this repetition 5 times. Always begin the repetition on the side that you feel dizzy. For example if when you turn towards the left side you get dizzy, then start your exercises/repetition on the left side.

If you begin a session and do not feel any dizziness after 5 repetitions then you can stop for the day. And then try again the next day. If the next day you still do not experience any dizziness then you can stop the sessions all together.

After 2 weeks, if you are still symptomatic please call the office to set up a time to see the physician for follow up.
