É importante restringir a movimentação cefálica após a manobra de Epley?

Abstract: O uso de restrição de movimentação cefálica após a manobra de Epley ainda é controverso. OBJETIVO: Verificar a importância da restrição de movimentação cefálica na evolução clínica de pacientes com vertigem posicional paroxística benigna por ductolitíase de canal semicircular posterior, quando submetidos a uma única manobra de Epley. FORMA DE ESTUDO: clínico prospectivo. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Cinqüenta e oito pacientes com ductolitíase do canal semicircular posterior foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos … Show more

“…showed an arterial hypertension, associating the discovery of arterial hypertension with the time when vertiginous crisis started. Even though presenting such systemic alterations that in literature are deemed to aggravate the vestibular disease (11)(12)(13)(14), patient showed a significant improvement only with repositioning maneuver, and she had no new crisis within the term of this study.…”

“…Concerning the side of the involved canals, we found 32 (60%) left-side posterior canals and 21 (40%) volunteers with right-side involvement.

It is also contrary to findings from Dorigueto et al 40 who reported that both sides are equally affected.…”
