In objective BPPV group. 27 patients had complete resolution oj vertigo after one session oj treatment. while 8 patients required 2 sessions and 3 oj them had complete resolution while 5 had marked improvement, with an overall response oj87.5%, whereas 12 patients with subjective BPPV had complete resolution after one session oj treatment. wh:le 4 patients developed marked improvement 3 patients after one session and one patients after two seasons oj treatment, with an overall response oj 8096. There was a non-signlj1cant difference both between the number ojseasons required to achieve result. (X2= 2.05, P>0.05) and between the obtained results, (X2= 1.25, P>O.05) between both categories oj vertigo.
