Anxiolytics do not reduce dizziness, they reduce fear and have harmful side-effects

摘要

The article 'Anxiolytics reduce residual dizziness after successful canalith repositioning maneuvers in BPPV [1] is an example of a very superficial and misleading study, which actually should not be published in a scientific journal with high standards like Acta Oto-Laryngologica.The authors describe a significant reduction of complaints in BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) patients after successful canalith repositioning procedure (CRP).
