Pulsed Radiofrequency of the Auricular Branch of the Vagal Nerve in Tinnitus Patients.
Introduction: Pulsed radiofrequency of the auricular branch of the vagal nerve has strongly reduced tinnitus in a person with violent tinnitus and severe cervical pain.
Objectives: The objective of our study was to study the long-term effects of pulsed radiofrequency of the auricular branch of the vagal nerve in a large group of tinnitus sufferers and to find predictors for a prosperous result.
Design: A monocenter backward-looking group study.
Results: 48% of tinnitus sufferers who undertook pulsed radiofrequency of the auricular branch of the vagal nerve reported a reduced loudness of their tinnitus, which was qualified as being moderate to good in 87% of these patients. The reduction exceeded mostly 1 year. An angle smaller than 3 degrees between the 2nd and 3rd cervical vertebrae on lateral radiograph predicted a better outcome of this therapy.
Conclusion: Neuromodulation of the auricular branch of the vagal nerve is an uncomplicated remedy for tinnitus, especially for tinnitus patients with a pathologically small C2-C3 angle.
期刊介绍：
The International Tinnitus Journal is the first peer review journal to provide a forum for exchange of information of on-going basic and clinical science efforts for understanding tinnitus and its application to patient diagnosis and treatment. Subject areas to be covered range from fundamental theory to clinical applications.
