To evaluate the effectiveness of adding a supervised physical therapy exercise program to photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in the treatment of cervicogenic somatosensory tinnitus (CST).
Forty patients suffering from CST with age 45-55 years were included in the study. They were assigned randomly into 2 groups, 20 per each. (Study group) Group (A) received a supervised physical therapy exercise program in addition to 20 minutes PBMT with a 650-nanometer wavelength and a 5 milliWatt power output, spot size of 1 cm2, and energy density of 6 Joules, 3 sessions per week for 8 consecutive weeks, plus traditional medical treatment. While (control group), group (B) received the same PBMT protocol, 3 sessions per week for 8 consecutive weeks in addition to the traditional medical treatment. Tinnitus visual analog scaling (VAS), tinnitus handicap inventory (THI), and cervical range of motion (ROM) were measured at baseline and after 8 weeks.
Mixed MANOVA showed a statistically significant reduction in tinnitus VAS, THI, and a significant improvement in cervical ROM (flexion, extension, right bending, left bending, right rotation, and left rotation) in favor of Group A (P < .05). There was a significant decrease in posttreatment VAS treatment (P > .001) MD [-2.05(-2.68:-1.41)], and THI relative to pretreatment mean difference [-5.35(-8.51: -2.19)] and a significant increase in posttreatment neck ROM in Groups A and B relative to pretreatment neck ROM (P > .001). Flexion range posttreatment MD[3.65(1.64:5.65)], Extension MD [6.55(1.35:11.75)], right bending MD[3.8(2.51:5.08)], left bending MD[1.75(0.19:3.3)], right rotation MD [3.5(1.28:5.71)] and left rotation [2.75(0.67:4.82)].
Adding a supervised physical therapy exercise program to PBMT showed positive and beneficial effects in the treatment of CST using VAS, THI, and Cervical ROM assessment tools.
评估在光生物调节疗法(PBMT)治疗中加入监督物理治疗运动方案对颈源感觉性耳鸣(CST)的疗效。
本研究纳入了 40 名年龄在 45-55 岁之间的 CST 患者。他们被随机分为两组,每组 20 人。(研究组)组(A)在接受 650nm 波长、5mW 输出功率、光斑大小 1cm2、能量密度 6J 的 20 分钟 PBMT 治疗的同时,还接受了监督物理治疗运动方案,每周 3 次,连续 8 周,外加传统医疗。而(对照组)组(B)在接受每周 3 次、连续 8 周的相同 PBMT 方案治疗的同时,还接受了传统医疗。在基线和 8 周后,分别测量耳鸣视觉模拟评分(VAS)、耳鸣残疾量表(THI)和颈椎活动度(ROM)。
混合 MANOVA 显示,在 VAS、THI 方面,研究组(A)的耳鸣有统计学意义的降低,颈椎 ROM(屈伸、右弯、左弯、右旋转、左旋转)有显著改善(P <.05)。治疗后 VAS 治疗评分显著下降(P >.001),MD [-2.05(-2.68:-1.41)],THI 与治疗前相比有显著差异[MD-5.35(-8.51:-2.19)],且治疗后 A、B 两组颈椎 ROM 与治疗前相比有显著改善(P >.001)。治疗后屈伸范围 MD[3.65(1.64:5.65)],伸展 MD[6.55(1.35:11.75)],右弯 MD[3.8(2.51:5.08)],左弯 MD[1.75(0.19:3.3)],右旋转 MD[3.5(1.28:5.71)]和左旋转 MD[2.75(0.67:4.82)]。
在 PBMT 治疗中加入监督物理治疗运动方案,使用 VAS、THI 和颈椎 ROM 评估工具,对 CST 的治疗有积极有益的效果。
