This investigation was performed to evaluate the efficacy of a new device, the Méniètt, in the treatment of Ménière's disease. The device delivers pressure pulses to the middle ear through a ventilating tube in the tympanic membrane. These pressure changes are conveyed to the inner ear, reducing the endolymphatic hydrops. The device is significantly effective in reducing the vestibular symptoms, as compared with the placebo device. Local overpressure treatment is a novel treatment that is non-invasive, non-destructive and safe. It should be offered to patients before more invasive surgical modalities are suggested.
本研究旨在评估一种新设备——美尼埃治疗仪（Méniètt）治疗梅尼埃病的疗效。该设备通过鼓膜上的通气管向中耳传递压力脉冲。这些压力变化会传导至内耳，减轻内淋巴积水。与安慰剂设备相比，该设备在减轻前庭症状方面显著有效。局部超压治疗是一种新型治疗方法，具有非侵入性、非破坏性且安全的特点。在建议采用更具侵入性的手术方式之前，应将其提供给患者。
