Filter by:The goal of this randomized trial to assess the angiographic efficacy of venous stenting in dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVF) via improvment on Cognard's Classification as compared to no intervention at 6 months Participants belonging to experimental group will be treated using venous stenting. DAVF will be assessed by angiography at 6 months follow-up. Participants belonging to control group will be followed accordingly to standard of care (no treatment). After 6 months, control group patients can be treated by any means accordinlgly to standard of care.
Post-acute COVID-19 tinnitus has not been treated successfully. As tinnitus may be related to SARS-CoV-2 neurological manifestations. This study aims to investigate if the dopamine receptor antagonists can be used effectively treat COVID-19 induced tinnitus.
This clinical study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical study. Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat sen University was the central unit, and Nanjing First Hospital, Sun Yat Sen people's Hospital, Guanfzhou Panyu central Hospital and Zhuhai integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine hospital were the cooperative units. In this study, 388 patients with chronic subjective tinnitus were recruited. In view of chronic subjective tinnitus, a common ear disease, the study gave the patients three months of treatment with transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation paired with tailor-made notched music therapy or tailor-made notched music training alone. By comparing the changes of subjective scale scores related to tinnitus before and after treatment in patients receiving two different therapies, such as THI, VAS, BAI, BDI, PSQI, to evaluate the efficacy of the two therapies, so as to judge whether transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation paired with tailor-made notched music therapy is better than tailor-made notched music training alone. In addition, the study will continue to follow up the patients after the treatment for one year to observe the difference in the long-term sustained efficacy of the two therapies. This clinical study will also evaluate the two therapies from the perspective of compliance and safety, and explore the factors that affect the efficacy of the two therapies.
Considering the extent to which HAs play a role in sound perception and residual hearing preservation among patients with tinnitus and co-existing HL remains a lack of compelling extensive evidence, investigators designed this single-blind, 6-months randomized, controlled trial with two parallel groups. One is the HA treatment group, and the other is the waiting list control (WLC) group which receives no interventions during this period.
The aim of this study is to detect the role of interventional radiology in management of Pulsatile tinnitus and to detect the best imaging modality for Diagnosis.
Rationale: Tinnitus is the perception of sound without an external source. In the past decade, inflammation has been implicated in the pathophysiology of tinnitus. In animal models of tinnitus, the expression of proinflammatory cytokines Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukine-1β (IL-1β) was increased throughout the whole auditory tract. Only two studies evaluated cytokine concentrations in tinnitus patients. In these studies an increase of IL-6 and decrease of IL-10 have been objectified. However, studies did not include tinnitus patients based on the degree of hearing loss, despite that inflammation has also been implicated in hearing loss. On the other hand, studies about inflammation in hearing loss did not (always) exclude tinnitus. Thus, it remains unclear whether the upregulated cytokine concentrations the studies are specific for tinnitus, and whether potential effects remained unsignificant because the presence of hearing loss is a confounder. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the presence of inflammation in tinnitus patients with normal hearing. Objective: The main objective is to evaluate the presence of inflammation in blood samples of human subjects with tinnitus and normal hearing, compared to healthy controls. The secondary objective is to evaluate the relation between tinnitus severity and inflammatory marker concentrations. Study design: This is a cross-sectional study. Study population: Patients who have been referred to the tinnitus consultation at the outpatient clinic will be asked to participate in this study. For the control group, healthy volunteers will be recruited. Main study parameters/endpoints: The main study parameter is the disparity in blood cytokine levels between participants with and without tinnitus. Secondary study parameters are the relation between tinnitus severity and blood cytokine concentration, and the difference in complete blood count measures in participants with and without tinnitus.
The investigators applied home-based transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) for neuromodulative treatment in patients with intractable chronic tinnitus.
The goal of this study is to use non-invasive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with active listening therapy to treat tinnitus and hyperacusis and related conditions.
The pelvic floor serves as stability and support as it is the postural balance and core resource base for the pelvic organs. A dysfunction in the organs in this area can affect the pelvic floor muscles, the functioning of an organs in the muscles. Incontinence organ prolapse, pelvic pain and sexual problems may occur when the support or stability of the pelvic floor is impaired. Pelvic floor novelization is not always seen weakness. Sometimes excessive contractions and excessive activity in muscle tone can be seen. Stress and anxiety-related tension are the main causes of pelvic floor dysfunctions. Involuntary contractions and excessive muscle tone in the pelvic floor muscles cause chronic pelvic pain syndrome, constipation and dyssynergic defecation problems. Some of these patients have complaints of tightening teeth in the temporamandibular joint, grinding teeth at night, together with contractions in the pelvic floor. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pelvic floor improvement on tinnitus level as a result of dysfunctional condition in temporamandibular joint with treatment practices of pelvic floor patients with excessive muscle activity.
The main objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the medical product ForgTin with regard to the impairment and change in the sensation of tinnitus (volume, frequency, psychological stress).
