    Traumatic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (t-BPPV) shows significantly poorer treatment outcomes compared to idiopathic BPPV (i-BPPV).

  • 2

    Patients with t-BPPV experience higher recurrence rates, greater repositioning difficulty, and lower treatment efficacy than those with i-BPPV.

  • 3

    The study included seven high-quality cohort studies with a total of 4,074 patients, ensuring robust data for analysis.

  • 4

    t-BPPV is associated with a higher incidence of multi-semicircular canal involvement and bilateral BPPV compared to i-BPPV.

  • 5

    Clinicians are advised to implement tailored management strategies for t-BPPV, focusing on long-term follow-up and personalized interventions.
