A total of 147 patients with the main complaint of tinnitus consulted our hospital between November 12, 2013 and August 4, 2022, the target period of our study. The patients included 84 men, 63 women (male:female ratio, 57%: 43%). The patients ranged in age from 19 to 91 years (average age, 62.2 years).
We prescribed on Methylcobalamin, Adenosine Triphosphate Disodium Hydrate, and Nicotinamide Papaverine Hydrochloride or Chinese medicine for tinnitus (99 cases). The Chinese medicine was Chotosan in most cases, followed in prescription frequency by Yokukansan and Goshajinkigan, in that order. In addition, we prescribed a sleep-inducing drug.
In all cases overall, the THI scores after treatment were significantly decreased as compared with the scores before treatment.
In all the cases treated with Chinese medicines, the THI scores after treatment were significantly decreased as compared with the scores before treatment.
I believe that Chinese medicines are effective against tinnitus.
Continued treatment with Chinese medicines for half a year to several years, along with psychotherapy and sound therapy appears to be effective.
