Meta-analysis compares treatment outcomes in traumatic and idiopathic BPPV, suggesting tailored clinical strategies.

To evaluate and compare treatment efficacy and prognosis between traumatic BPPV and idiopathic BPPV.
Systematic search in 8 databases for cohort studies comparing t-BPPV and i-BPPV
Data extraction and quality assessment using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale
Meta-analyses performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12.0, calculating risk ratios for outcomes
t-BPPV showed a higher recurrence rate (RR = 3.39, 95% CI 3.07–3.74, p < 0.00001)
t-BPPV exhibited greater repositioning difficulty (RR = 3.05, 95% CI 2.74–3.40, p < 0.00001)
Lower treatment efficacy for t-BPPV (RR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.84–0.90, p < 0.00001)

Fu et al. (2026) studied this question.
