Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) impacts the
quality of life of affected people, especially the elderly. The Epley maneuver and the Gans
maneuver are used to treat Posterior Canal BPPV (PC-BPPV). The effectiveness of the Epley
maneuver has been verified, but further studies are required to prove the effectiveness of the
Gans maneuver. The main purpose of the current study was to compare the effectiveness of
the Gans maneuver with the Epley maneuver in the treatment of the elderly with PC-BPPV,
considering emotional, physical, and functional symptoms by assessing anxiety, dizziness,
and quality of life after treatment.
