To compare the tinnitus treatment outcomes of tailor-made notched music therapy and ordinary music.
A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted on 104 Thai patients with chronic subjective tinnitus. Tinnitus matching was done on all subjects before they were randomly allocated to one of 2 groups: a treatment group (listening to tailor-made notched music) and a control group (listening to ordinary music). Each participant received their allocated intervention and was assessed at 1, 3, and 6 months.
The demographic data of the 2 groups showed no statistically significant differences. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and the total Visual Analong Scale also demonstrated no significant differences. However, the treatment group showed a greater reduction in their scores than the control group during the follow-up period.
Tailor-made notched music therapy is an optional treatment for patients with bothersome subjective tinnitus. However, more research is needed to draw firm conclusions about its benefits and cost-effectiveness.
比较定制有凹槽音乐疗法和普通音乐疗法对耳鸣的治疗效果。
对 104 名泰国慢性主观性耳鸣患者进行了一项双盲、随机、对照试验。所有受试者在随机分为治疗组（听定制有凹槽音乐）和对照组（听普通音乐）之前都进行了耳鸣匹配。每个参与者接受他们分配的干预，并在 1、3 和 6 个月进行评估。
两组的人口统计学数据无统计学差异。耳鸣残疾量表和总视觉模拟量表也没有显著差异。然而，在随访期间，治疗组的评分下降幅度大于对照组。
定制有凹槽音乐疗法是治疗烦人的主观性耳鸣患者的一种可选治疗方法。然而，需要更多的研究来得出关于其疗效和成本效益的明确结论。
