Acupuncture for chronic tinnitus: A CARE-compliant case report.
Аннотация
INTRODUCTION
Tinnitus is a sound hallucination characterised by buzzing and hissing in the ear or brain of a patient in the absence of an externally available sound source. It could be perceived as one or more sounds and can last for a certain period of time.
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to report the successful treatment of tinnitus using acupuncture.
METHOD: A patient diagnosed with chronic tinnitus had buzzing sounds in both ears for over 4 years. Acupuncture treatment was administered a total of five times. GV20 (Baihui), EX-HN1 (Sishencong), GV24 (Shenting), CV12 (Zhongwan), CV10 (Xiawan), CV6 (Qihai), CV4 (Guanyuan), and other bilateral acupuncture points, including GB13 (Benshen), SI19 (Tinggong), GB2 (Tinghui), SJ17 (Yifeng), KI19 (Yindu), and KI17 (Shangqu), were selected as acupuncture points.
RESULTS
Tinnitus was successfully resolved, and THI scores decreased.
CONCLUSIONS
Acupuncture is a potential alternative treatment for chronic tinnitus.
