We used transcutaneous electrotherapy to treat 27 patients with persistent tinnitus. Each patient was tested with the short form of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Index test (MMPI) prior to the commencement of treatment. The "unimproved" group of patients (n = 15) showed higher pretreatment scores for depression (P less than 0.05), psychasthenia (P less than 0.05) and schizophrenia (P less than 0.02). Our findings indicate that patients having significantly pathological scores on at least one of these three scales will fail to benefit from treatment. These findings also show that there appear to be psychological prognostic factors that can be used to evaluate patients receiving transcutaneous electrotherapy for persistent tinnitus.
我们采用经皮电刺激疗法治疗27例持续性耳鸣患者。每位患者在治疗开始前均接受了明尼苏达多相人格量表简式测验（MMPI）。“未改善”组患者（n = 15）在抑郁（P < 0.05）、精神衰弱（P < 0.05）和精神分裂症（P < 0.02）方面的治疗前得分较高。我们的研究结果表明，在这三个量表中至少有一个量表得分显著异常的患者无法从治疗中获益。这些结果还表明，似乎存在一些心理预后因素，可用于评估接受经皮电刺激疗法治疗持续性耳鸣的患者。
