The study was aimed at determining the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in treatment of tinnitus using Tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) and Visual analogue scale (VAS). 60 patients with bilateral, non-pulsatile, chronic subjective tinnitus; aged 18-65 years were subjected to 8 sessions (2 sessions/week) of TENS therapy given over a total period of 4 weeks. Pre-treatment and Post-treatment VAS, THI scores were compiled and analyzed statistically. A significant decrease in Tinnitus severity was seen after TENS Therapy (VAS: Loudness, Annoyance, Duration, Hampering of daily activities) (P value < 0.001). Moreover THI (Functional, Emotional & catastrophic) showed significant improvement (P value < 0.001). TENS is safe, effective, noninvasive therapeutic option for treatment of tinnitus.
该研究旨在使用耳鸣障碍量表(THI)和视觉模拟量表(VAS)来确定经皮电刺激神经疗法治疗耳鸣的有效性。60例年龄在18至65岁之间的双侧、非搏动性、慢性主观性耳鸣患者接受了为期4周、共8次(每周2次)的经皮电刺激神经疗法治疗。对治疗前和治疗后的VAS、THI评分进行汇总并进行统计学分析。经皮电刺激神经疗法治疗后,耳鸣严重程度显著降低(VAS:响度、烦恼程度、持续时间、对日常活动的妨碍)(P值<0.001)。此外,THI(功能、情绪和灾难性方面)显示出显著改善(P值<0.001)。经皮电刺激神经疗法是治疗耳鸣的一种安全、有效、非侵入性的治疗选择。
