Beyond the Maneuver: Impact of Structured Counselling on Functional Recovery in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: This study assessed the effect of supplementing Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers (CRM) with structured counselling on functional recovery in patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Materials and Methods: In this prospective, controlled study, sixty patients with posterior or lateral canal BPPV underwent appropriate CRM. Patients were randomly allocated to receive either CRM alone or CRM combined with structured counselling. Functional recovery was assessed using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) at baseline and one week after treatment. Handicap recovery was calculated as the change in DHI score (ΔDHI). Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to determine whether counselling independently predicted handicap recovery after adjusting for age, sex, canal involvement, and baseline DHI severity. Results: Both groups showed significant DHI improvement after-CRM. However, the Intervention Group demonstrated a significantly greater mean ΔDHI (28.80 ± 3.13) compared to the Control Group (22.47 ± 4.66), with a mean difference of 6.33 point (p < 0.001). Furthermore, fewer patients in the Intervention Group (6.7% vs. 20%) returned to the clinic prematurely with concerns about persistent symptoms. After multivariate adjustment, structured counselling remained an independent predictor of greater handicap recovery (β = 5.07; 95% CI: 3.15-6.98; p < 0.001). Baseline DHI severity was also independently associated with recovery (p < 0.001), age, sex, and canal involvement were not significant predictors. Conclusion: Structured post-maneuver counselling independently enhances early functional recovery in patients with BPPV beyond the effect of CRM alone. Incorporating counselling into routine BPPV management may improve patient-perceived outcomes during the early recovery phase.
