Currently, no effective pharmacological treatment exists for this condition. Our previous work identified low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] as an independent risk factor for RD. This study therefore evaluated whether 8-week supplementation with Caltrate D was associated with improvement in RD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Female patients with primary BPPV who achieved successful CRP but still complained of RD at day 7 post-CRP and had serum 25(OH)D\u202f&amp;lt;\u202f20\u202fng\/mL were enrolled. Patients who took Caltrate D for 8\u202fweeks formed the treatment group, while those who received no vitamin D or calcium supplementation served as the control group. The primary outcome was the improvement rate of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) total score at 4 and 8\u202fweeks. Secondary outcomes included duration of RD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Forty-three patients in the treatment group and 48 in the control group completed the study. At 4 and 8\u202fweeks, DHI improvement rates were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (56.2%\u202f\u00b1\u202f10.8% vs. 44.4%\u202f\u00b1\u202f11.8 and 77.6%\u202f\u00b1\u202f6.34% vs. 66.9%\u202f\u00b1\u202f9.8%, respectively; both\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001).
