The Semont maneuver is considered a standard option for treating posterior canal BPPV, with a high success rate of around 80%. It is suggested as the primary option for managing posterior canal BPPV in individuals who complain of cervical or lumbar problems, severe cardiac or respiratory conditions. Further studies are strongly needed to understand the long-term effects of the Semont maneuver and to identify the recurrence rate.
