Abstract
METHOD: Eighty patients with tinnitus as their first complaint were included in our study. They were randomly divided into four groups, each with 20 cases.They were treated with oral ginaton and mecobalamin tablets,and at the same time with postauricular injection of lidocaine at different doses (Group A, 2% lidocaine 3 ml; Group B, 2% lidocaine 2 ml+physiological saline 1 ml;Group C, 2% lidocaine 1 ml+physiological saline 2 ml; Group D, physiological saline 3 ml). TEQ scores were evaluated and compared before treatment, at the end of treatment, and one month after treatment.
CONCLUSION: Postauricular injection of lidocaine is effective for simple subjective tinnitus, and the dose and concentration of lidocaine affect the efficacy and durability. Postauricular injection of lidocaine for the treatment of subjective tinnitus is a therapeutic method worthy of further research and popularization.
