Three-dimensional simulations of six treatment maneuvers for horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo canalithiasis.

The 3D simulations for movement of the otoconia clots can be used to test the mechanism of action and the theoretical efficacy of existing maneuvers for the different BPPV variants. For hc-BPPV-ca, the modified 360° roll maneuver and Zuma maneuver are theoretically efficient for all subtypes, whereas Gufoni maneuver is effective for geotropic nystagmus only.
