Effectiveness of the Epley manoeuvre in posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: a randomised clinical trial in primary care.

Background: Evidence on the effectiveness of the Epley manoeuvre in primary care is scarce.

Aim: To evaluate effectiveness at 1 week, 1 month, and 1 year of a single Epley manoeuvre versus a sham manoeuvre in primary care.

Design And Setting: Multicentre, double-blind randomised controlled trial in two primary care practices in Spain from November 2012 to January 2015.

Effectiveness of multicomponent interventions in primary healthcare settings to promote continuous smoking cessation in adults: a systematic review.

Objective: The objective of the present review is to evaluate multicomponent/complex primary care (PC) interventions for their effectiveness in continuous smoking abstinence by adult smokers.

Design: A systematic review of randomised and non-randomised controlled trials was undertaken.

Eligibility Criteria For Included Studies: Selected studies met the following criteria: evaluated effects of a multicomponent/complex intervention (with 2 or more intervention components) in achieving at least 6-month abstinence in adult smokers who visited a PC, biochemical confirmation of abstinence, intention-to-treat analysis and results published in English/Spanish.
