Treatment of Sudden Deafness With Prednisone+Hyperbaric Oxygen and Prednisone+Somatosensory Stimulation

Prospective Study of Sudden Deafness

To study the effective treatment of sudden deafness by giving prednisone, hyperbaric oxygen and somatosensory stimulation to sudden deafness patients.

60 cases of sudden deafness within 2 months of 14-80 years old were randomly divided into two groups. They underwent hearing tests, magnetic resonance imaging of the head, and routine hospital admissions. One group was given prednisone for 1 mg / kg body weight × 7 days + somatosensory stimulation × 30 days, the other group was given prednisone for 1 mg / kg body weight × 7 days + hyperbaric oxygen × 15 days, and repeated electrical audiometry every week. One month and three months after the experiment, repeated audiometry.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Sudden deafness
• History within 2 months
• Age 14-80

Exclusion Criteria:

• Neurological diseases (such as brain tumors)
• Patients with mental / mental illness undergoing treatment
• Pregnant women and patients with other untreatable diseases
• Finding the cause of sensorineural deafness
• Patients Not Suitable for Hyperbaric Oxygen
• A patient with dermatosis
