Filter by:The main objective of our study is to evaluate the effect of combinated antioxidants therapy with Adepsique® (amitriptyline, perphenazine, and diazepam) on patients with tinnitus chronic symptoms, evaluating the levels of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress in blood. The researchers intend to include 58 patients, divided into two intervention groups, who will be randomly assigned a pill with antioxidants or placebo, and the patient must eat one pill per day for 3 months. In the study, the clinical characteristics of tinnitus, inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers will be evaluated, before, during and after the intervention with antioxidant therapy. Subsequently, the clinical and sample results will be evaluated to compare the effects between them.
Ultrasound Guided Versus Non-Guided Prolotherapy for Treatment of Internal Derangement of Temporomandibular joint. Rationale for conducting the research: The most critical cause for guided prolotherapy is to specify the accurate location of glenoid fossa and the disc space while prolotherapy procedure, and to adjust the needle insertion to according to articular eminence, mandibular condyle, and intra-articular space as anatomical variations. The vibration of ultrasound waves generates a heat so there is a thermal effective for prolotherapy effusion in the TMJ space.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of either electroacupuncture alone or combined with warm needling in reducing tinnitus loudness and improving the impairment caused by tinnitus in Hong Kong.
Tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo are the three major diseases of otology, affecting hundreds of millions of people in our country, and are major health problems. Ear structures and lesions are deeply embedded in the bone, and CT is the preferred examination technique. The key structures of the ear are small and the lesions are hidden. Spiral CT is "not visible" and "undiagnosed" due to insufficient spatial resolution. The ultra-high-resolution CT independently developed by our team has a spatial resolution of 50 μm, which is 6 times higher than that of high-end spiral CT, and solves the problem of "not showing" ear diseases. However, with the transformation of imaging modes and the improvement of display capabilities, the imaging system of helical CT is no longer applicable. It is urgent to carry out systematic research to create matching imaging plans, imaging anatomy standards and disease assessment standards to solve the problem of "undiagnosed". problem. This project plans to build an adult and pediatric imaging solution based on ultra-high-resolution CT to optimize image quality and radiation dose; comprehensively evaluate conduction, sensory, and surgical-related fine structures of the ear, and establish a new 0.1mm-scale image anatomy atlas; A prospective study conducted by the center analyzes the hidden pathological changes of tinnitus, deafness and vertigo, evaluates the diagnostic efficacy of ultra-high-resolution CT for the above diseases, and establishes new diagnostic criteria for lesion detection, symptom correlation, and efficacy evaluation. This project will bring new changes to the practice of otology clinical diagnosis and treatment
This study will improve the understanding of the cerebral mechanisms that underlie the control of auditory selective attention and evaluate the potential of neuromodulation to enhance neural attention control as a possible way to overcome hearing impairment. First, electroencephalography (EEG) will be applied to identify neural marker of auditory attention in individuals with hearing loss (HL), tinnitus (TI) and normal hearing (NH). Afterwards, the importance of the identified markers for attention control will be tested using non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and neurofeedback (NF).
Abnormal activity in the central auditory system is the cause of subjective experience of tinnitus. Electrical stimulation can inhibit the abnormal activity of auditory related neurons in patients with tinnitus. In recent years, the application of electrical stimulation in the treatment of tinnitus is a hot research topic, and has made some progress. However, its treatment is still in the discussion stage, and there is no best scheme suitable for clinical practice. At present, scholars have found that cochlear electrode stimulation can inhibit tinnitus, but its mechanism is not clear. It is difficult to locate the origin of tinnitus, and the location of electrode stimulation and stimulation parameters still need to be further optimized. Because the implanted part of the cochlear implant contains magnets, the patients cannot perform functional MRI. However, the prevalence of tinnitus in this group is very high (67.0~100.0%, with an average of 80.0%), so it is of great value and significance to study the effect of tinnitus treatment in such patients. In this study, a new clinical electroencephalogram (EEG) technique was used to make up for the lack of MRI imaging in patients with electrode implantation. EEG analyzes the functional connection of different brain regions through EEG test electrodes, uses the traceability function of EEG software to locate the location of tinnitus, analyzes the process of tinnitus inhibition by electrical stimulation, and explains the mechanism of tinnitus inhibition by electrical stimulation from a new perspective.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about a type of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) known as "somatosensory tinnitus." This type of tinnitus is suspected when the tinnitus perception changes following head and/or neck movements. This study is also exploring a possible way to treat somatosensory tinnitus.
The twofold aim of this single-blind two-arm 1:1 randomised control trial is to examine if the treatment effect and cost-effectiveness of a smartphone application, designed to increase therapy compliance and provide tinnitus counselling, as part of a blended physiotherapy program, is, as hypothesised, as good as or better in comparison to standard clinical care.
This project is planned to collect non-dialysis adults who suffer from sleep and tinnitus disorders and refuse to take sleeping medicines in our hospital by random assignment and double-blind method. 120 adults were divided into 3 groups. 1. Control group: receive placebo treatment, once a day, four pills each time. 2. Herbal compound low-dose group: once a day, two herbal compound capsules and two placebos each time. The total amount of herbal compound capsules is 557 mg. 3. Herbal compound high-dose group: once a day, four capsules each time. The total amount of herbal compound capsules is 1114 mg. All subjects received health questionnaire, sleep questionnaire and tinnitus questionnaire before the start of the test At the end of the treatment(3 months), the health questionnaire, sleep questionnaire, and tinnitus questionnaire were accepted.
Tinnitus is a condition in which the person hears sound, which isn't coming from the external environment, often, described as ringing in the ears. Patients describe the condition as an annoyance and disturbance and in turn this correlates with increased levels of anxiety and depression. Currently, there is no single effective treatment for tinnitus so research continues to look for new ways to treat and manage the condition. Bumblebee Breath starts by finding a relaxed, supported posture, either laying supine or in seated and then bringing the minds attention to the space between the eyebrows (or third eye in yoga terms). With the eyes close the thumbs are placed over the tragus of the ears, the first finger gently rests on eye lids, middle finger touches the sides of the nose and then the index and pinkie rest just above and below the closed lips. Next, a sound is created by inhaling deeply through the nose and exhaling with a low-pitched humming sound. The result sounds very much like a bee buzzing to the person performing the breath and a sensation of vibration is experienced inside the head and over the face. this study is designed to assess Bumblebee Breath on tinnitus.
