Results: The study was conducted on 60 patients who were diagnosed benign paroxysmal positional vertigo by Dix Hallpike test the study revealed that the 30 cases which were treated by Semont manoeuvre, 25 cases were completely symptom free after 14 days. Meanwhile out of 30 cases which were managed by oral vestibular sedative, only 4 cases showed complete recovery after 14 days. Chi square test was used to compare the results.
