Clinical Efficacy of Choto-san in the Treatment of Tinnitis

Abstract

Forty patients with tinnitus were treated by Choto-san.
1) The curative rate of those groups receiving treatment based on the clinical diagnosis of the disease and based on SHO was 47.8% and 76.8%, respectively.
2) There was no significant difference in efficacy between those patients with hypertension or headache.
3) There was a significant difference in efficacy between those patients over 70 years of age and those under 70 years old.
Careful observation of the indications for treatment are essential, and treatments based on SHO were more effective.
