ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a common vestibular disorder that accounts for one fifth of hospital admissions due to vertigo, although it is commonly undiagnosed. Objective To evaluate the effects of betahistine add-on therapy in the treatment of subjects with posterior benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Methods This randomized controlled study was conducted in a population of 100 subjects with posterior benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Subjects were divided into the Epley maneuver + betahistine group (group A) and Epley maneuver only (group B) group. Subjects were evaluated before and 1-week after the maneuver using a visual analog scale and dizziness handicap inventory Results One hundred subjects completed the study protocol. The Epley maneuver had an overall success rate of 95% (96% in group A; 94% in group B, p= 0.024). Groups A and B had similar baseline visual analog scale scores (6.98 ± 2.133 and 6.27 ± 2.148, respectively, p= 0.100). After treatment, the visual analog scale score was significantly lower in both groups, and was significantly lower in group A than group B (0.74 ± 0.853 vs. 1.92 ± 1.288, respectively, p= 0.000). The change in visual analog scale score after treatment compared to baseline was also significantly greater in group A than group B (6.24 ± 2.01 vs. 4.34 ± 2.32, respectively, p= 0.000). The baseline dizziness handicap inventory values were also similar in groups A and B (55.60 ± 22.732 vs. 45.59 ± 17.049, respectively, p= 0.028). After treatment, they were significantly lower in both groups. The change in score after treatment compared to baseline was also significantly greater in group A than group B (52.44 ± 21.42 vs. 35.71 ± 13.51, respectively, p= 0.000). Conclusion The Epley maneuver is effective for treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Betahistine add-on treatment in posterior benign paroxysmal positional vertigo resulted in improvements in both visual analog scale score and dizziness handicap inventory.
RESUMO
Resumo Introdução A vertigem posicional paroxística benigna é um distúrbio vestibular comum, responsável por um quinto das internações hospitalares por vertigem, embora seja comumente não diagnosticada. Objetivo Avaliar os efeitos da terapia adjuvante com betaistina no tratamento de indivíduos com vertigem posicional paroxística benigna posterior. Método Este estudo randomizado controlado foi feito em uma população de 100 indivíduos com vertigem posicional paroxística benigna posterior. Os indivíduos foram divididos nos grupos manobra de Epley + betaistina (grupo A) e manobra de Epley apenas (grupo B). Os indivíduos foram avaliados antes e uma semana após a manobra por meio da escala visual analógica EVA e do questionário dizziness handicap inventory. Resultados Cem indivíduos completaram o protocolo do estudo. A manobra de Epley demonstrou uma taxa de sucesso global de 95% (96% no grupo A; 94% no grupo B, p = 0,024). Os grupos A e B tiveram escores basais semelhantes na EVA (6,98 ± 2,133 e 6,27 ± 2,148, respectivamente, p = 0,100). Após o tratamento, o escore na EVA foi significantemente menor em ambos os grupos e foi menor no grupo A do que no grupo B (0,74 ± 0,853 vs. 1,92 ± 1,288, respectivamente, p = 0,000). A mudança no escore da EVA após o tratamento em comparação com a linha basal também foi significativamente maior no grupo A do que no grupo B (6,24 ± 2,01 vs. 4,34 ± 2,32, respectivamente, p = 0,000). Os valores basais no dizziness handicap inventory também foram semelhantes nos grupos A e B (55,60 ± 22,732 vs. 45,59 ± 17,049, respectivamente, p = 0,028). Após o tratamento, eles foram significantemente menores em ambos os grupos. A mudança no escore após o tratamento em comparação com a linha basal também foi significantemente maior no grupo A do que no grupo B (52,44 ± 21,42 vs. 35,71 ± 13,51, respectivamente, p = 0,000). Conclusão A manobra de Epley é eficaz no tratamento da vertigem posicional paroxística benigna. O tratamento complementar com betaistina na vertigem posicional paroxística benigna posterior resultou em melhoria tanto no escore da EVA quanto no do dizziness handicap inventory.
