Özet:

 Objective: Isolated benign paroxysmal positional vertigo BPPV is the most common type of BPPV. Positional maneuvers are the most valuable diagnostic tool for diagnosing the condition. However, the goal was to reveal the change by comparing cervical vestibular myogenic potential cVEMP recordings before and after treatment, which is a more objective test for assessing the condition. Materials and Methods: Our research was carried out within the Audiology Department of the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic at XXX Hospital. During the test, click and tone pulse stimuli at 95 dB were delivered separately to both ears and recorded before treatment, 1 hour after treatment, and 1 week later. P1, N1 latencies and amplitude data were statistically compared. Results: A notable difference in the P1 and N1 values was detected in the recordings with a tone pulse, when compared to the pre- and post-treatment measurements; however, no significant variation was found in the P1-N1 amplitude values. In the recording with a click stimulus, no significant change in the P1, N1, and P1-N1 amplitude values was observed compared to before treatment. Conclusion: We believe that the cVEMP test can be used as a cost-effective, easy-to-use, practical, and objective test for BPPV harvesting and that a tone pulse can provide more accurate results than a click pulse in BPPV patients with posterior canal BPPV.
