•Aged 18 years and above
•Diagnosed with unilateral Posterior canal BPPV. Diagnosis of PC BPPV is based upon the presence of characteristic nystagmus on Dix Hallpike testing, that is, (1) a period of latency (2) followed by counter clockwise torsional nystagmus, which may have a component of upbeat nystagmus, (3) which then fatigues following a duration of typically less than 30 seconds in the canalithasis variant.

•Unable to give informed consent
•Patients with BPPV of bilateral posterior canals, or the horizontal or anterior canals.
•Patients with nystagmus not attributable to BPPV – i.e. central positioning nystagmus (CPN). Note: Patients with concomitant vestibular conditions in conjunction WITH posterior canal BPPV i.e. vestibular migraine or vestibular neuritis will be included in this study as it is not uncommon for these conditions to be co-morbid with BPPV.. The presence of a secondary vestibular disorder can be effectively distinguished by clinical audiologists and physiotherapists trained in the analysis of nystagmus, and the presence of these conditions does not influence with or effect the clinical outcome of the PRMs.
