Double‐blind randomized trial on the efficacy of the Gufoni maneuver for treatment of lateral canal <scp>BPPV</scp>

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first class I study on the efficacy of the GLM in the treatment of LC-BPPV in both geotropic and apogeotropic forms. GLM proved highly effective compared to the sham maneuver (P < 0.0001). The present class I study of the efficacy of the GLM changes the level of recommendation of the method for treating LC-BPPV from level U to level B for the geotropic variant and from level B to level A for the apogeotropic variant of LC-BPPV.
