“…The search strategy we used followed the recommendations by Dickersinet al 18 , Castro et al 19 , Systematic Reviews Cochrane Manual 20 We also excluded those studies in which the primary therapy was related to physical changes in the individual's environment (removing rugs, using lighting or signaling, etc), the use of movement aiding equipment, as well as papers which analyzed other forms of physical therapy intervention such as electrotherapy, electrical stimulation (functional, neuromuscular), transcutaneous electric neurostimulation (TENS). …”

Beni gn Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most frequent diseases of the vestibular system and it is characterized by episodes of recurrent vertigo triggered by head movements or position changes. There are several approaches for treatment, but efficacy is still being discussed. Aim: To asses the effectiveness of the specific maneuvers available to the treatment of BPPV. Methodology: An electronic search at the main databases, including MEDLINE, LILACS, PEDro, Cochrane Collaborations Database was performed, and we selected only randomized clinical trials studying adults with diagnosis of BPPV confirmed by the Dix-Hallpike test. The trials should have included physical maneuvers such as Epley and Semont. The main outcome was Dix-Hallpike negative test and the changes to subjective complaints. The trials were assessed using Jadad's scale and only studies with quality scores equal or above 3 were pooled on a meta-analyses to assess their effectiveness. Results: We found five controlled clinical trials phase I comparing the Epley's maneuver with controls or placebo. The metaanalysis showed positive evidence of Epley's maneuver to the posterior semicircular canal (effect size = 0.11 [CI 95% 0.05, 0.26]

“…Strategy 1 used stage 1 of an optimal search strategy developed to detect clinical trials in LILACS [5]. From the three sets of search results, we selected randomized controlled trials in physiotherapy published in Portuguese and Spanish languages that were eligible for inclusion on the PEDro database (detailed inclusion criteria are available at http://www.pedro.fhs.usyd.edu.au/criteria.html).…”

Contribuições da eletromiografia de agulha para o estudo da deglutição em seres humanos

et al. 2016

RESUMO A Eletromiografia intramuscular é realizada pelo médico, a partir da fixação de eletrodos de agulha ou de fio fino para o estudo de músculos isolados ou músculos profundos. Esse estudo tem como objetivo identificar e descrever as contribuições da eletromiografia intramuscular, para a avaliação da deglutição em seres humanos. A busca, realizada no período entre abril e março de 2015, nos bancos de dados da PUBMED, BIREME E BANCO DE TESES DA CAPES, resultaram em 21 referências, das quais, apenas sete se enquadraram nos critérios de inclusão. Os artigos selecionados trazem contribuições importantes para o entendimento do comportamento eletrofisiológico e eletrofisiopatológico durante a deglutição e acredita-se que a escassez de estudos utilizando essa ferramenta em seres humanos deva-se ao incômodo e riscos causados pela introdução da agulha no ventre muscular e talvez a introdução de um fio fino (fine wire ou cooper wire), seja mais interesante para o auxílio diagnóstico de denervações e transtornos neuromusculares que comprometam a deglutição, pela possibilidade de reduzir drasticamente o incômodo causado pela agulha.
