Lampert Maneuver
Alternative Names: Barbecue roll maneuver
The Lempert maneuver is used specifically to treat horizontal canal BPPV (when the displaced crystals are in the horizontal semicircular canal instead of the more common posterior canal).
Here’s how the Lempert (barbecue roll) maneuver works:
-Start lying flat on your back (supine) with your head turned toward the affected side.
-Roll your head 90 degrees toward the ceiling (now you’re facing straight up).
-Roll another 90 degrees toward the unaffected side (your face is now looking toward the unaffected ear).
-Roll your body and head another 90 degrees until you’re face-down (prone position).
-Then sit up slowly.
Each position is usually held for 15–30 seconds or until the dizziness stops before moving to the next.
