Brandt Daroff Exercise for Treatment of BPPV
This maneuver resembles the Semont maneuver. Also, this maneuver is easy to do by the patient and prescribed as a home exercise. Semont maneuvers are slightly more effective than the Brandt Daroff exercises for some people.
1) Start in an upright, seated position on your bed.
2) Tilt your head around a 45-degree angle away from the side of the affected ear. Move into the lying position on one side with your nose pointed up.
3) Stay in this position for about 30 seconds or until the vertigo eases off, whichever is longer. Then move back to the seated position.
4) Repeat the same on the other side.
In step 4 of semont, the patient's nose is toward ground, but in Brandt Daroff, the patient's nose is always up.
