One of the most challenging topics in tinnitus clinical studies is the measuring method used. Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) are frequently used in tinnitus.
To verify the relationship between VAS and THI scores in tinnitus patients in a prospective study.
43 patients classified their tinnitus according to VAS and THI, and both scores were compared through the Spearman's correlation coefficient test.
There was a correlation between the VAS and THI scores.
There is correlation between VAS and THI scores in patients with sensorineural tinnitus.
在耳鸣临床研究中，最具挑战性的课题之一是所使用的测量方法。视觉模拟量表（VAS）和耳鸣残疾量表（THI）在耳鸣中经常被使用。
在一项前瞻性研究中验证耳鸣患者 VAS 和 THI 评分之间的关系。
43 例患者根据 VAS 和 THI 对耳鸣进行分类，并通过 Spearman 相关系数检验比较两种评分。
VAS 和 THI 评分之间存在相关性。
在感音神经性耳鸣患者中，VAS 和 THI 评分之间存在相关性。
