Abstract
Introduction

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common conditions that cause the physiognomy of peripheral vertigo.

Objective

To evaluate the effectiveness of Epley manoeuvre (EM) in the treatment of BPPV using a critical review of the medical literature and a meta-analysis.

Methods

Searches were made in the databases of MEDLINE (PubMed), in the Cochrane collection (Cochrane Register of controlled studies), BIREME and LILACS (all of them up to December 2008). The search words used were: canalith repositioning procedure, canalith repositioning manoeuvre, Epley manoeuvre, Dix-Hallpike, benign vertigo, benign positional vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and BPPV. The meta-analysis was performed using the program RevMan 5.0.

Results

The patients on whom an EM was performed had a six and half times more chance of their clinical symptoms improving compared to the control group of patients (OR=6.52; 95% CI, 4.17–10.20). Similarly, the likelihood of having a negative Dix-Hallpike (DH) test are 5 times greater in patients had the EM performed than in those who did not (OR=5.19; 95% CI, 2.41–11,17).

Conclusions

The EM is effective in controlling BPPV.

Resumen
Introducción

El vértigo posicional paroxístico benigno (VPPB) es una de las enfermedades que más habitualmente producen vértigo de fisionomía periférica.

Objetivo

Evaluar la efectividad de la maniobra de Epley (ME) en el tratamiento del VPPB mediante una revisión crítica de la literatura médica y el empleo del metaanálisis.

Métodos

Se realizaron búsquedas en la base de datos MEDLINE (PubMed), en la colección Cochrane (Cochrane Register of controlled studies), BIREME y LILACS (todas ellas hasta diciembre de 2008). Las entradas empleadas incluyeron: canalith repositioning procedure, canalith repositioning maneuver, Epley maneuver, Dix-Hallpike, benign vertigo, benign positional vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo y BPPV. El metaanálisis se realizó con el programa RevMan 5.0.

Resultados

Los pacientes a quienes se realiza la ME tienen 6 veces y media más posibilidades de mejorar su cuadro clínico sintomático en comparación con los grupos de control (odds ratio [OR]=6,52; intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%, 4,17–10,20). Igualmente, los pacientes a quienes se efectuó la ME tienen 5 veces más oportunidades de tener un resultado negativo en el test de Dix-Hallpike que aquellos sin ME (OR=5,19; IC del 95%, 2,41–11,17).

Conclusiones

La ME es efectiva en el control del VPPB.
