Neck Seven-Line Method Combined with Periauricular Acupuncture for 33 Patients with Sudden Hearing Loss in Non-Acute Stage: A Randomized Controlled Trial
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of neck seven-line method combined with periauricular acupuncture as salvage treatment for sudden hearing loss in non-acute stage.
Methods
2
Sixty-six patients with non-acute stage of sudden hearing loss with a disease duration of 15-90 days were randomly divided into 33 cases each in treatment group and control group. The treatment group was given neck seven-line method combined with acupuncture at periauricular points; the control group used sham acupuncture and sham electroacupuncture at the same points. Both groups were treated 3 times a week for 6 weeks. The pure tone average hearing threshold of impaired frequencies were examined before treatment, after treatment finish and at follow-up (week 10), and the difference between pure tone average hearing threshold of impaired frequencies before and after treatment was calculated; calculate the proportion of patients with ≥10 dB improvement in pure tone average hearing threshold of impaired frequency after treatment and at follow-up; compare the patients' Tinnitus Evaluation Scale (TEQ) scores, Chinese Medicine Quality of Life Assessment Scale (CQ-11D) health utility values and the difference between before and after treatment, and record the occurrence of adverse events.
Results
2
The pure tone average of impaired frequency in the treatment group were (50.57±18.07) dB and (47.70±17.42) dB at post-treatment and follow-up respectively, and (54.38±21.77) dB and (53.36±20.99) dB in the control group at post-treatment and follow-up. Compared with the pre-treatment period, the pure tone average hearing threshold of impaired frequency in the two groups significantly decreased (
P
<0.05) at post-treatment and follow-up. The difference of pure tone average hearing threshold of impaired frequency in the treatment group after treatment and at the follow-up visit compared to that before treatment was lower than those in the control group (
P
<0.05). After treatment, 13 patients (39.39%) in the treatment group and 10 patients (30.30%) in the control group showed improvement of ≥10 dB in pure tone average hearing threshold of impaired frequency; at the follow-up visit, 18 patients (54.55%) in the treatment group and 10 patients (30.30%) in the control group showed improvement of ≥10 dB in the pure tone average hearing threshold of impaired frequency, and there was no statistical significance for comparison between groups at the time of post-treatment and follow-up (
P
>0.05). The TEQ score of the treatment group significantly lower than that before treatment (
P
<0.05); the TEQ score of the treatment group and the difference between before and after treatment significantly lower than that of the control group (
P
<0.05). The difference in CQ-11D health utility values and the difference between before and after treatment were not statistically significant between the two groups (
P
>0.05). Eight cases of acupuncture-related adverse events occurred among 66 patients, including subcutaneous haematomas after needling, severe pain during needling and needle fainting, which disappeared af
ter symptomatic treatment and did not affect the following treatment.
Conclusion
2
Neck seven-line method combined with periauricular acupuncture could be used as salvage treatment for sudden hearing loss in non-acute stage to improve the pure tone average hearing threshold of impaired frequency, alleviate tinnitus, with safety.
