The vestibular system responds to gravity and tells your brain whether you are moving up or down, right or left, forward or backward. In this gravity-sensing area, tiny calcium carbonate crystals (otoliths) sit on a jelly-like membrane.<\/p><p>The semicircular canals are positioned at 90-degree angles to each other. The horizontal canal lies roughly parallel to the ground, the posterior canal is oriented backward, and the anterior canal is oriented upward. The semicircular canals detect rotational movements and measure acceleration. They contain a fluid (endolymph) and have tiny hair cells at their ends. When the inner ear fluid moves, the hair cells bend and activate nerves that connect to the brain, helping to control eye movement. In this way, the eyes essentially follow the vestibular system.<\/p><p>However, when crystals fall into a semicircular canal, the normal interaction between the fluid and the hair cells is disturbed. The canal becomes sensitive to changes in head position that it would not normally respond to. This disturbance causes a spinning sensation (either as if you are moving in the room, or as if the room around you is spinning).<\/p><p>Most cases of BPPV are idiopathic, meaning they occur without any identifiable cause. This type of BPPV is also called primary BPPV. The following factors may make you more susceptible to idiopathic BPPV:<\/p><ul><li>older age<\/li><li>female gender<\/li><li>unusual head postures, e.g. when you lean your head back for a long time at the dentist or hairdresser<\/li><li>Vitamin D deficiency: can contribute to a seasonal form of BPPV<\/li><li>Osteopenia and osteoporosis: Age-related deterioration of the structures in the inner ear or crystals can contribute to the shifting of crystals and the development of BPPV. There is a possible link between osteopenia (low bone mass) or osteoporosis (a disease that causes bones to become weak and brittle) and BPLS. Postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis are about three times more likely to develop BPLS than the general population of the same age.

As they move with gravity, the fluid moves as well. This activates the receptors in the canal, causing your eyes to move rapidly (nystagmus) and giving you the sensation that you are spinning. The positional test can be repeated several times if needed.<\/p><p>The doctor will observe your eye movements and ask you how you feel. The direction of your eye movements provides a clue to diagnosing which ear and which semicircular canal the crystals are in. Because the movements are sometimes very fast, you may be asked to wear special goggles. These goggles are connected to a computer monitor that clearly records your eye movements.<\/p><p>Dizziness and eye movements do not start immediately when you perform the positional test. Because the crystals are heavy and sluggish, it takes a few seconds for them to follow gravity. This is why it usually takes several seconds for symptoms to appear when you move your head into a position that triggers dizziness.<\/p><p>When dizziness begins, it starts suddenly but also fades away again. The dizziness is short-lived because the crystals eventually reach the lowest part of the semicircular canal. At first, the crystals move clumped together like a snowball. If the positional test is repeated several times, the crystals separate, and your symptoms become less pronounced. When you sit up, vertigo and nystagmus appear again. This is a good diagnostic indicator.<\/p>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                                        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e56d0d1 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7e56d0d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8af41a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8af41a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>An effective treatment depends on correctly identifying the affected ear and semicircular canal.

A doctor, <a href=\"https:\/\/ivrt.de\/en\/fuer-betroffene\/therapeutensuche\/\">a physiotherapist or occupational therapist trained in dizziness therapy<\/a>can treat you during an office visit. The head is guided through a series of movements to move the crystals back to where they belong. Symptoms usually improve immediately after the treatment, and the crystals are reabsorbed over the following hours.<\/p><p>If the repositioning maneuvers are not performed correctly, some crystals may fall into another semicircular canal. Sometimes the therapist observes a different and unexpected eye movement, which indicates that the crystals have migrated into another canal and a different maneuver is needed to fix the problem. And sometimes the procedure moves some of the crystals but not all of them, so another treatment may be required.<\/p><p>If the nystagmus (involuntary eye movements) triggered by a change in head position cannot be resolved with repositioning maneuvers, further examinations are necessary to rule out a central cause (originating in the brain).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b64c756 e-grid e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7b64c756\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59c4d100 e-con-full e-transform e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"59c4d100\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;animation_delay&quot;:400,&quot;_transform_translateY_effect_hover&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:-5,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[],&quot;_transform_translateX_effect_hover&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_translateX_effect_hover_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_translateX_effect_hover_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_translateY_effect_hover_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_translateY_effect_hover_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1aa3b18a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1aa3b18a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Therapy option<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6ed895 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b6ed895\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1563\" height=\"1563\" src=\"https:\/\/ivrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2-ohne-hg.png\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048 wp-image-4629\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ivrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2-ohne-hg.png 1563w, https:\/\/ivrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2-ohne-hg-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/ivrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2-ohne-hg-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/ivrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2-ohne-hg-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ivrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2-ohne-hg-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/ivrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2-ohne-hg-1536x1536.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1563px) 100vw, 1563px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f0709fe elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3f0709fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a52e343 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1a52e343\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><u>Medication<\/u><\/p><p>Since BPPV is essentially a mechanical disorder, it cannot be cured with medication.
