Its treatment with repositioning maneuvers on an examination table is highly effective. However, patients with back or neck problems, paraplegia, or other conditions face challenges with these maneuvers, potentially experiencing longer healing times and creating additional difficulties for physicians diagnosing and treating BPPV in everyday practice. The emergence of mechanical rotational chairs (MRCs) offers a more convenient alternative for performing these maneuvers. Objectives: The primary objective was to compare the effectiveness of maneuvers on the examination table with those on MRCs in BPPV patients diagnosed in the emergency room and randomly classified into one of the treatment options. The secondary objectives included a comparison of patient quality of life during BPPV episodes and after their resolution and an analysis of recurrences and associated risk factors. Methods: This was a cohort study on sixty-three patients diagnosed with BPPV in the emergency department. Patients were classified into two cohorts depending on diagnostic and treatment maneuvers (MRC or conventional repositioning maneuvers (CRMs)) and received weekly follow-ups until positioning maneuvers became negative. Subsequent follow-ups were conducted at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the resolution of vertigo. Patients were classified into two groups based on their assigned treatment method. Results: Thirty-one patients were treated with CRMs and 32 with TRV. Mean age was 62.29 \u00b1 17.67 years and the most affected canal was the PSC (96.8%). The mean number of required maneuvers was two, while 55.56% only required one maneuver until resolution. Recurrence was present in 26.98% of the patients during the 6-month follow-up. Comparing both cohorts, there were no statistically significant differences between treatments (TRV vs. CRM) regarding the number of maneuvers, number of recurrences, and days until remission of BPPV. Dizziness Handicap Inventory and Visual Analogue Scale values decreased considerably after BPPV resolution, with no statistically significant differences between the groups. Age was identified as a covariable in the number of maneuvers and days until BPPV resolution, showing that an increase in age implies a greater need of maneuvers. Conclusions: There was no difference between the means of treatment for BPPV in our population ot There was no difference between the groups of treatments for BPPV in our population. The quality of life of patients improved six months after the resolution of BPPV, regardless of the treatment applied.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13133863","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,1]],"date-time":"2024-07-01T09:06:07Z","timestamp":1719824767000},"page":"3863","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Comparison between Classical- and Rotational-Mechanical-Chair-Assisted Maneuvers in a Population of Patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3543-1268","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Chaure-Cordero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Getafe University Hospital, Carretera Toledo km 12,500, 28905 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Garrote-Garrote","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Getafe University Hospital, Carretera Toledo km 12,500, 28905 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6184-6830","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonathan","family":"Esteban-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Getafe University Hospital, Carretera Toledo km 12,500, 28905 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, School of Biomedical Sciences and Health, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28670 Villaviciosa de Od\u00f3n, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Morales-Chacchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Getafe University Hospital, Carretera Toledo km 12,500, 28905 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marina","family":"Del Valle-D\u00edaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Getafe University Hospital, Carretera Toledo km 12,500, 28905 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1175-3844","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo","family":"Martin-Sanz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Getafe University Hospital, Carretera Toledo km 12,500, 28905 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, School of Biomedical Sciences and Health, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28670 Villaviciosa de Od\u00f3n, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"345","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otorri.2017.05.001","article-title":"Gu\u00eda de Pr\u00e1ctica Cl\u00ednica Para el Diagn\u00f3stico y Tratamiento del V\u00e9rtigo Posicional Parox\u00edstico Benigno.
