A method to reduce endolymphatic pressure by exposing patients with Meniere's disease to underpressure has earlier been described. In this work the possible mechanisms are discussed. A material of 36 patients with acute attacks, treated in this way, is now presented. 15 out of these patients experienced a rapid hearing improvement. In 11 cases the remission has lasted for more than 1 year. The method seems to be of great value for those who improved, since at least an early permanent damage to the cochlea can be avoided.
一种通过让梅尼埃病患者暴露于负压来降低内淋巴压力的方法此前已有描述。在这项研究中，对可能的机制进行了讨论。现展示了一组36例以这种方式治疗的急性发作患者的资料。其中15例患者听力迅速改善。11例患者的缓解期持续超过1年。该方法对听力改善的患者似乎具有重要价值，因为至少可以避免耳蜗早期永久性损伤。
