Randomized controlled trial of prednisone in treating acute subjective tinnitus patients with normal pure-tone thresholds
The effectiveness of steroid therapy for acute subjective tinnitus (AST) without sudden hearing loss remains controversial. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of short-term oral prednisone (STOP) in patients with AST. The STOP group received a 14-day tapering prednisone for the initial 14 days, and both groups took Ginkgo biloba extract throughout the 3-month follow-up period. The primary outcome was the 12-week change in Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) scores, assessed via intention-to-treat analysis. At the 12-week follow-up, the STOP medication significant reduced THI scores (−27 · 34 [95% CI, −31 · 14 to −23 · 55]) versus control (−15 · 37 [95% CI, −18 · 5 to −12 · 23]), with a mean difference of −11 · 97 points (95% CI, −16 · 85 to −7·09; p < 0 · 0001). Sensitivity analyses and post hoc analyses corroborated these findings. In summary, the STOP treatment plus Ginkgo biloba could effectively lessen the self-reported tinnitus severity in patients with AST.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
