Based on the present literature, there is controversy on the efficacy of post-maneuver postural restrictions.The aim of this study was to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the treatment efficacy of post-maneuver postural restriction with CRP alone in patients with posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
