A stellate ganglion block (SGB) based on the goal of improving internal ear circulatory disturbance appears to be beneficial for the treatment of sudden hearing loss.
To evaluate the effectiveness of SGB for sudden hearing loss.
This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of 49 patients who received SGBs and 496 patients who received only conservative therapy, primarily with systemic steroids, for treatment of sudden hearing loss. Propensity scores were used in pairwise matching of these patients to avoid selection biases between the two treatment modalities.
Propensity score matching yielded 48 pairs. The mean therapeutic effect of the SGB was calculated to be 0.40 ± 0.20 (mean ± standard error, p = 0.051).
基于改善内耳循环障碍目标的星状神经节阻滞（SGB）似乎对突发性听力损失的治疗有益。
评估SGB治疗突发性听力损失的有效性。
这项回顾性研究回顾了49例接受SGB治疗的患者以及496例仅接受以全身用类固醇为主的保守治疗的突发性听力损失患者的病历。使用倾向评分对这些患者进行配对匹配，以避免两种治疗方式之间的选择偏倚。
倾向评分匹配产生了48对。计算得出SGB的平均治疗效果为0.40±0.20（平均值±标准误差，p = 0.051）。
