Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the extent to which Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is associated with a higher prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients.
Data Sources: Three databases including PubMed, Embase, and The Cochrane Library were searched by two independent authors from inception to June 12, 2022 for observational studies and randomized controlled trials investigating the association between BPPV and depression and anxiety. We included studies published as full-length articles in peer-reviewed journals with an adult population aged at least 18 years who have BPPV, detected through validated clinical methods like clinical diagnosis, interview and Dix-Hallpike test.
Results: A total of 23 articles met the final inclusion criteria and 19 articles were included in the meta-analysis. BPPV was associated with a 3.19 increased risk of anxiety compared to controls, and 27% (17%-39%) of BPPV patients suffered from anxiety. Furthermore, the weighted average Beck's Anxiety Inventory score was 18.38 (12.57; 24.18), while the weighted average State-Trait Anxiety Index score was 43.08 (37.57; 48.60).
Conclusion: There appears to be some association between BPPV and anxiety, but further studies are required to confirm these associations. Laryngoscope, 134:526-534, 2024.

Management of tri-canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo using sequential repositioning maneuvers: a case report.
Physiother Theory Pract
September 2025
Clinical Vestibulology Observer, Otoneurology Centre, Udaipur, India.
Background: Multi-canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (MC-BPPV) is a rare form of BPPV characterized by the simultaneous involvement of multiple semicircular canals, often resulting in complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. While MC-BPPV most commonly affects the posterior and horizontal semicircular canals, tri-canal involvement - especially with bilateral asymmetry - is exceedingly rare.
Purpose: To describe a unique case of tri-canal BPPV involving right posterior and horizontal semicircular cupulolithiasis and left horizontal semicircular canalolithiasis, successfully managed with a structured, sequential protocol of repositioning maneuvers including a novel Bascule maneuver.
Rethinking positional nystagmus: beyond BPPV.

Positional nystagmus is a frequently encountered yet often underappreciated clinical sign that provides critical insights into vestibular and central nervous system function. For the general neurologist, recognising and correctly interpreting positional nystagmus can significantly impact diagnostic accuracy and guide appropriate management of common and complex dizziness presentations. The current diagnostic framework for positional nystagmus disproportionately favours BPPV, underestimates central positional nystagmus (CPN), and over-relies on imaging.

Defining diagnostic thresholds for dissociation between caloric test and vHIT in Ménière's disease.
Front Neurol

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Objective: Ménière's disease (MD) presents with episodic vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus; however, its diagnosis remains challenging owing to symptom overlap with other vestibular disorders. We evaluated the diagnostic value of dissociation between caloric test and video head impulse test (vHIT) results in MD compared to vestibular schwannoma (VS) and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
Methods: A retrospective analysis included 195 patients with MD ( = 51), VS ( = 112), or BPPV ( = 32).

To explore brain function differences between patients with residual dizziness (RD) caused by benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Using the Data Processing and Analysis for Brain Imaging software to analyze differences in the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) and functional connectivity (FC) among RD, PPPD, and healthy controls groups. Then constructed a brain network and compared FC within the network.
