BBQ Roll Maneuver

To treat lateral BPPV, maneuvers such as the BBQ Roll Maneuver or Lempert Roll are typically used to reposition the dislodged crystals in the inner ear, effectively alleviating symptoms.

During BPPV, it's important to avoid sudden head movements, bending over, sitting position or lying down quickly, as these actions can trigger or worsen vertigo episodes.

To determine the affected right side of BPPV, doctors perform diagnostic maneuvers like the Dix-Hallpike test or the supine head roll test, observing the direction of horizontal nystagmus (abnormal eye movements) triggered by these positions.
