Abstract

Objective: To develop a treatment for tinnitus called xenon phototherapy of the stellate ganglion (XPSG) and analyze its effect on tinnitus.

Methods: Patients with chronic tinnitus received XPSG. Symptoms were assessed subjectively with tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) and numerical rating scale (NRS). THI and NRS scores were analyzed in XPSG (n = 43) and sham treatment (non-XPSG) (n = 18) groups.

Results: THI and NRS scores improved significantly after 3 months of XPSG. Severe cases with high THI or NRS score showed greater improvement. No significant difference was observed between before and after sham treatment in non-XPSG groups.

Conclusions: XPSG significantly improved THI and NRS scores with high patient satisfaction.

星状神经节氙气光疗对耳鸣的影响。

目的:探讨星状神经节氙气光疗治疗耳鸣的方法，并分析其治疗耳鸣的效果。方法:对慢性耳鸣患者行XPSG检查。采用耳鸣障碍量表(THI)和数字评定量表(NRS)对症状进行主观评定。分析XPSG组(n = 43)和假治疗(非XPSG)组(n = 18) THI和NRS评分。结果:XPSG治疗3个月后THI和NRS评分明显改善。重度THI或NRS评分较高的患者改善更大。非xpsg组假治疗前后无显著差异。结论:XPSG可显著提高THI和NRS评分，患者满意度高。
