The use of autoinflation in the treatment of glue ear has been widely recommended. In order to assess its efficacy, 40 children were studied. 21 children practised nasal autoinflation of a toy balloon 3 times daily for 3 weeks and 19 children had no treatment. In the autoinflation group only 4 glue ears improved, while in the untreated group 10 glue ears improved. This study suggests that autoinflation has no part to play in the treatment of glue ear in children.
自我吹张法在治疗胶耳方面的应用已得到广泛推荐。为评估其疗效，对40名儿童进行了研究。21名儿童每天使用玩具气球进行3次鼻腔自我吹张，持续3周，19名儿童未接受治疗。在自我吹张组中，只有4例胶耳病情有所改善，而在未治疗组中，有10例胶耳病情得到改善。这项研究表明，自我吹张法在儿童胶耳治疗中并无作用。
