Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), the most common vestibular disorder is characterized by short-lived episodes of rotatory vertigo in association with rapid changes in head position. Diagnosis of BPPV is clinical. The principle of treatment of BPPV involves maneuvers comprising of head movements, in order to bring the free debris from the semicircular canal back to the utricle. In this study we tried to evaluate and compare Epleys and the Semonts manoeuvre in the treatment of Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of the posterior semicircular canal in terms of subjective and objective improvement. Materials and methods: Study Design: This prospective randomized study included 200 vertigo patients attending ENT OPD of tertiary care centre with Dix Hallpike positive status. (September 2017 –August 2019). Objective improvement was compared in terms of Dix Hallpike positivity between both groups on weekly follow up for four weeks. Subjective improvement was compared in both the groups by dizziness Handicapp index (DHI) on follow-ups. Results: Total 200 patients formed part of study, with 100 in each group. On comparing Dix Hallpike positivity between both groups on weekly follow ups there was no significant difference between both the groups. DHI, compared between both groups showed that Semonts Maneouver was significantly better. Conclusion: In patients of BPPV both Epleys and Semonts are equally effective objectively. However the subjective improvement was better in patients on whom Semonts manoeuvre was performed.
