9. Updates to the Maneuver

Over the years, a modified version of the Epley maneuver has become the most common option. Originally, Epley would mechanically vibrate the mastoid bone, believing that this helped loosen debris. His research stated this was significantly more effective than the position changes alone. However, modern studies overwhelmingly disagree with his results. Because of this, very few clinics perform mastoid vibration.
