Tinnitus, Subjective Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Kinesio Taping in Patients With Somatosensory Tinnitus: A Randomized Controlled Trial
There is no specific treatment that can cure somatosensory tinnitus and usually conservative physical therapy modalities are used in the literature. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of kinesio taping applied to sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezium and levator scapulae muscles on the somatosensory tinnitus associated with neck complaints.
The study was designed as a prospective, randomized controlled and double blind trial.
Patients complaining of tinnitus were firstly subjected to otologic and audiologic evaluation
by an otolaryngologist. Tinnitus characteristics, such as severity (Tinnitus handicap Index,
tinnitus Visual Analog Scale- tinnitus VAS) , type (pulsatile/non-pulsatile), localization
(unilateral/ bilateral) and the frequency (number of days with symptoms) were recorded.
Patients were excluded if they had objective tinnitus, subjective tinnitus with hearing loss
or Meniere's disease, vertigo, middle ear pathologies, intracranial pathologies, whiplash
injury, previous cervical spinal surgery, pregnancy, infection, malignancy and if they
received cervical physical rehabilitation program in the past 3 months.
Patients who diagnosed with somatosensory tinnitus and concomitant neck complaints
(cervical-VAS score >2) at least 6 weeks were referred to physical medicine and
rehabilitation outpatient clinic. Before the treatment, participants' demographics data
including age, gender, Body-Mass Index (BMI) and cervical pain VAS score were recorded and
physical examinations (cervical joint range of motion (cervical-ROM), cervical manual muscle
testing (cervical-MMT) and myofascial trigger points for sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezium
and levator scapulae muscles) were performed by one investigator.
Banding application performed for both groups once a week for four weeks. Tinnitus handicap
index score, tinnitus VAS, ROM of the cervical joint, cervical MMT, cervical pain VAS, Neck
Disability index score and myofascial trigger points of sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezium,
levator scapula was evaluated in all subjects by the same investigator.
