Deep Head Hanging Maneuver The Deep Head Hanging Maneuver (exercise) is used to treat a type of benign vertigo called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Specifically it is used to remove a displaced crystal from the superior or anterior semicircular canal the is causing the vertigo. In this case the patient will experience vertical nystagmus.

Note:
1.Note: Eye twitching (nystagmus) must be present for a BPPV diagnosis. Feeling dizzy but without nystagmus is NOT diagnostic for BPPV.
2. In this video we are taking about benign vertigo (BPPV). Please note though the major of vertigo cases are BPPV, not all cases of vertigo are benign. Therefore, you should familiarize yourself with the RED FLAG SIGNS.
