Abstract:ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture combined with auricular acupressure in treatment of nervous tinnitus.MethodsOne hundred and four patients with nervous tinnitus were randomly divided into a group A and a group B according to the method of random number table, with 52 patients in each group. In the group A, acupuncture at Yìfēng (
></figure> TE 17), Tīnggōng (<figure class=></figure>SI 19), Tīnghuì (<figure class=></figure> GB 2), Ěrmén (<figure class=></figure> TE 21) and Fēngchí (<figure class=></figure>GB 20) combined with auricular acupressure, such as Shènshàngxiàn (<figure class=></figure> TG 2p), Jiāogăn (<figure class=></figure> AH<sub>6a</sub>), Nèifēnmì (<figure class=></figure> CO<sub>18</sub>), NèiĚr (<figure class=></figure> LO 6), WàiĚr (<figure class=></figure> TG<sub>1u</sub>), Shèn (<figure class=></figure> CO<sub>10</sub>) and Gān (<figure class=></figure> CO<sub>12</sub>) were applied; in the group B, intravenous injection with compound Dānshēn (<figure class=></figure> <em>Radix et Rhizoma Salviae Miltiorrhizae</em>) dissolved in 250 mL of 0.9% NaCI injection were applied, combined with oral administration of 10 mg of Vitamin B1 and 0.5 mg of mecobalamin tablets. After treatment for three courses in the two groups, efficacy was evaluated based on <em>Reference Standards of Severity, Assessment and Efficacy Evaluation of Tinnitus</em>.<b>Results</b>In the group A (75 ears with nervous tinnitus), 30 ears were cured, markedly effective was seen in 21 ears, and effective in 22, and the total effective rate was 97.4%; in the group B (76 ears with nervous tinnitus), 17 ears were cured, markedly effective was seen in 20 ears, and effective in 23, and the total effective rate was 79.0%. The total effective rate in the group A was obviously superior to that in the group B, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (<em>P</em><0.05). Compared before the treatment, the score of tinnitus severity both reduced in two groups (both <em>P</em><0.05), and the reducing amplitude of score in the group A was greater than that in the group B (<em>P</em><0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture combined with auricular acupressure in treatment of nervous tinnitus is worthy of clinical promotion and application since it has significant efficacy, which is obviously superior to drug therapy, and without adverse effect.</td>
