Brandt Daroff exercises
These exercises are a method of treating Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). They succeed in 95% of cases but are more time consuming than the Epley manoeuvre. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22935812) The Brandt - Daroff exercises should be performed for two or three weeks.
