The Epley maneuver was associated with significant improvement in BPPV symptoms (e.g., nystagmus, dizziness) and quality of life for adults with BPPV. These improvements were noted both in the short-term (1 to 10 days; 3 out of 4 studies) and long-term (6 to 24 months; 3 out of 3 studies). Limitations to this review include an overall lack of available research and heterogeneity between studies.
