Recurrences are common in neurally mediated syncope. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the effectiveness of nonpharmacologic treatments alone in preventing of syncope relapse.
70 patients (age 5-20 years) with neurally mediated syncope were enrolled. Thirty patients received pharmacologic therapies along with nonpharmacological methods, and 40 patients received just nonpharmacological treatments then followed them for 36 months. The incidences of different outcomes were analyzed with descriptive statistics using percentages.
The recurrence rate of syncope was significantly higher in pharmacological group than in nonpharmacological group in each period of the follow-up ( < 0.001).
Nonpharmacologic treatment is very effective in the prevention of syncope relapses and can be a substitute for pharmacologic drugs in the initiation of treatment and if done correctly.
神经介导性晕厥复发很常见。本研究的目的是评估单纯非药物治疗预防晕厥复发的有效性。
纳入70例年龄在5至20岁的神经介导性晕厥患者。30例患者接受药物治疗及非药物方法,40例患者仅接受非药物治疗,然后对他们进行36个月的随访。采用百分比描述性统计分析不同结局的发生率。
在随访的每个阶段,药物治疗组的晕厥复发率均显著高于非药物治疗组(<0.001)。
非药物治疗在预防晕厥复发方面非常有效,在治疗开始时,如果方法正确,可替代药物治疗。
