Behavioural therapy was given to reduce discomfort and annoyance associated with severe tinnitus in 75 consecutive patients. Treatment was conducted within the routine clinical management. It included information and discussion about tinnitus, behavioural analysis and relaxation training combined with various cognitive strategies. The method of treatment was thus a form of coping technique. Self-recordings showed significant reductions of 'discomfort from tinnitus' as well as significant elevations in 'general mood' over a 3-month follow-up period. Interview findings indicated strong overall positive effects of treatment, as well as other positive side-effects on complaints such as tension headaches, dizziness, muscle tension and sleep disturbances. Implications for the clinical management of tinnitus sufferers are discussed.
对75例连续性患者进行行为疗法，以减轻与严重耳鸣相关的不适和烦恼。治疗在常规临床管理中进行。它包括有关耳鸣的信息和讨论、行为分析以及结合各种认知策略的放松训练。因此，治疗方法是一种应对技巧。自我记录显示，在3个月的随访期内，“耳鸣不适”显著减轻，“总体情绪”显著改善。访谈结果表明治疗具有很强的总体积极效果，以及对紧张性头痛、头晕、肌肉紧张和睡眠障碍等症状的其他积极副作用。文中还讨论了对耳鸣患者临床管理的启示。
