针刺与连续多点脉冲刺激对感觉神经性耳聋患者语言频率听力损失的影响

目的:探讨感觉神经性耳聋的有效治疗手段.方法:将经纯音测试、耳科医师确诊的34例轻中度感觉神经性耳聋患者,按中医辨证分为肝肾不足型(24例)和肝火旺盛型(10例),主穴取耳门、听宫、听会(取其一),翳风、神庭、百会、后顶、头维、聪耳1～3、聪脑1、聪脑2.配穴:肝肾不足型加肓俞、气海、关元、太溪;肝火旺盛型加中脘、天枢、阳陵泉、太冲.使用顺序连续多点脉冲刺激,每周2次,连续20周(40次)后复查纯音测听.结果:34例患者(58只病耳)治愈13例,好转21例;治疗前后各语言频率听阈纯音测听值均有明显提高,其差异有显著性意义(P<0.05).结论:针刺与连续多点脉冲刺激对感觉神经性耳聋患者语言频率听力损失具有确切疗效.

Effects of acupuncture and continuous multiple points pulse stimulation on linguistic frequency hearing loss in the patient of sensorineural hearing loss

OBJECTIVE: To explore effective therapeutic methods for sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). METHODS: Thirty-four cases of mild and moderate SNHL who were definitely diagnosed with pure tone test and by otologists, including 24 cases of insufficiency of the liver and kidney, 10 cases of excess of liver-fire. They were treated with acupuncture at main points, Ermen (TE 21) or Tinggong (SI 19) or Tinghui (GB 2), and Yifeng (TE 17), Shenting (GV 24), Baihui (GB 20), Houding (GV19), Touwei (ST 9), Conger 1-3, Congnao 1-2; and adjuvant acupoints: Huangshu (KI 16), Qihai (CV 6), Guanyuan (CV 4), Taixi (KI 3) were added for insufficiency of the liver and kidney; Zhongwan (CV 12), Tianshu (ST 25), Yanglingquan (GB 34) and Taichong (LR 3) were added for excess of liver-fire. Sequential multipoint pulse stimulation was adopted, twice each week, for 20 consecutive weeks (40 sessions) and then pure tone test was carried out repeatedly. RESULTS: Of 34 cases (58 affected ears), 13 cases were cured and 21 improved, and the various linguistic frequency hearing threshold pure hearing values before and after treatment increased significantly (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture and continuous multipoint pulse stimulation has definite therapeutic effect on linguistic frequency hearing loss in the patient of SNHL.
