The goal of an Epley maneuver is to restore the equilibrium of the vestibular system, more specifically, to the semicircular canals, in order to treat the symptoms associated with BPPV. There is compelling evidence that free-floating otoconia , probably displaced from the otolithic membrane in the utricle are the main cause of this ...
A number of maneuvers have been found to be effective including Canalith Repositioning Procedures (CRP) such as the Epley maneuver, the Half Somersault Maneuver (HSM), the Semont maneuver, and to a lesser degree the non-CRP Brandt–Daroff exercises. [5] [28] Both the Epley and the Semont maneuvers are equally effective.
The device is filled with fluid and a particle representing the otoconia (loose hard particles) associated with BPPV. The device works like a visual set of instructions and guides the user through the treatment maneuver for BPPV. This maneuver is called the particle repositioning maneuver or Epley maneuver.

Persistent onset is commonly paired with central vertigo signs and symptoms. [25] The characteristics of an episodic onset vertigo are indicated by symptoms lasting for a smaller, more memorable amount of time, typically lasting for only seconds to minutes. [25]

I added a link to the article on DizzyFIX. It is a researched device useful for patients (or doctors) who may not do well with the Epley Maneuver. It is therefore relevant to this article. (Note: this could use confirmation from someone with an appropriate medical background.) David Spector (talk) 19:09, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
For some patients, this maneuver may be contraindicated, and a modification may be needed that also targets the posterior semicircular canal. Such patients include those who are too anxious about eliciting the uncomfortable symptoms of vertigo, and those who may not have the range of motion necessary to comfortably be in a supine position.
