✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦
rTMS shows potential for residual dizziness post-BPPV canalith repositioning, but findings should be considered preliminary; audiologists and vestibular specialists should await replication in larger RCTs before adopting this into practice.
✦ Why It Matters ✦
Residual dizziness after BPPV repositioning is a common, poorly-addressed clinical problem, and if rTMS proves effective it could expand neuromodulation into vestibular rehabilitation.
✦ Key Points ✦
- 01Residual dizziness following successful BPPV canalith repositioning affects a significant subset of patients.
- 02rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) was evaluated as a non-pharmacological intervention for this symptom.
