ResumenObjetivosAnalizar, de forma comparativa entre dos grupos, la presencia o no de contracciones uterinas tras realizar la técnica de equilibración de la sincondrosis esfenobasilar (SEB) según Upledger.HipótesisLa maniobra de equilibración de la SEB según Upledger no provoca contracciones uterinas inmediatas en pacientes embarazadas en las tres últimas semanas de gestación.Material y métodosEnsayo clínico controlado, aleatorizado, a doble ciego. Habiendo comprobado que no existían contracciones uterinas previas a la intervención, se han realizado mediciones postintervención para valorar la presencia o no de éstas en 118 pacientes (sin alteraciones conocidas de la SEB), repartidas en dos grupos homogéneos: uno de intervención y otro de control, de 59 sujetos cada uno. Para realizar todas nuestras mediciones utilizamos el monitor fetal.ResultadosLa maniobra de equilibración de la SEB y placebo difieren con gran fuerza en el efecto del tratamiento en estudio (p > 0,05). Se designó un nivel de significación del 95% como estadísticamente significativo, con variables dicotómicas, para los grupos y para el efecto.ConclusionesLa maniobra de equilibración de la SEB según Upledger provoca contracciones uterinas en mujeres embarazadas en sus tres últimas semanas de gestación durante los 5 min posteriores a la ejecución de la técnica.
PurposeTo analise, in a comparative way, between two groups, the presence or not of uterine contractions after the Upledger balancing of the sphenobasilar synchondrosis (SBS) technique.HypothesisThe Upledger balancing manoeuvre of the SBS doesn’t provoke any immediate contraction in pregnant women in their last three weeks of pregnancy.Material and methodsIt was a randomized, double blinded controlled clinical trial. Once we had checked that there were no uterine contractions before the application of the technique, we did post-intervention measurements to asses the presence/non presence of the uterine contractions in 118 patients (with no SBS known disturbances), being distributed in two homogeneous groups: intervention and control, with 59 patients each. To do our measurements we used a phetal monitor.This study is an experimental design, planned with independent samples with the same assignment to verify the immediate efficacy of this manoeuvre in pregnant women, in their last three weeks of pregnancy, through the comparison of the results obtained in both groups: those who receive the technique and those who don’t.ResultsThe Upledger balancing manoeuvre of the SBS and the placebo are strongly different in the effect of the studied treatment. Level of significance: 95% as statistically significative, with dichotomical variables for both the groups and the effect.ConclusionsThe Upledger balancing manoeuvre of the SBS provokes uterine contractions on pregnant women in their last three weeks of pregnancy during the 5 minutes after the performance of the technique.
