Abstract:

Cupololithiasis or canalolithiasis or VPPB (benign positional paroxysmal vertigo) is the cause of a very strong vertiginous crisis that suddenly hits the patient, sometimes during sleep, giving the sensation that the room and all objects are whirling or clockwise or counterclockwise. This crisis is usually referred to certain positions, so it is called benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV). This pathology responds very well and quickly to treatment with acupuncture, through an easy-to-apply scheme. First check the ear affected by the disease and treat the corresponding ear points and sometimes they are bilateral and in this case both ears are treated.
