BPPV is a vestibular disease which arises due to positional changes of head. Objective: To compare the efficacy of CRP & Liberatory maneuvers collectively in contrast to Betahistine alone for improving quality of life oof BPPV patients. Methods: After getting the approval from ERC of RIHS (Rawal Institute of Health Sciences) Islamabad, this study was conducted at Rawal General & Dental Hospital Islamabad from 20th September 2022 to 19th Jan 2023. 30 patients between age of 20-50 years with first episode of vertigo were included in this study. Two groups were formulated. Group A patients were given CRP (Epley’s maneuver) & Liberatory maneuver (Semont’s) whereas group B patients were given just Betahistine 16mg. Both techniques were used twice a day for one week. Tools used for assessment were DHI & SF-36. SPSS version 21 was employed for analysis. Results: Mean+SD of age was 32.40+10.91 in group A and 29.93+11.67 in group B. The frequency of age between 20-30 years old patients was 07(46.4%) in group A and 11(73.7%) in group B. The frequency in age group 31-40 & 41-50 was 04(26.8%) & 04(26.8%) in group A whereas in group B it was 04(26.3%) & 0(0%) respectively. within group analysis of both groups showed significant improvement (p<0.05) on. Between groups Analysis revealed insignificant difference (p>0.05). Conclusion: Both maneuvers in combination are equally effective as Betahistine is in improving the quality of life of BPPV patients.
