[Treatment of cochlear neuritis of vascular etiology by endaural phonophoresis and phonoelectrophoresis].

Abstract

In an attempt to develop an adequate and pathogenetically indicated therapeutic method for treating inner ear dysfunction aggravated by angiocerebral circulation problems, we treated 32 patients using endaural phonophoresis and phonoelectrophoresis. In the treatment the following drugs were used: clopheline, sermion, cocarboxylase, sansurdal, otoneurine, theobromine, glycerol, mannitol, diphenine, proserine, ascorbic acid, ATP, B1, B6, and B12 vitamins. The effect was measured audiometrically and rheoencephalographically. Good results were recorded in 18 patients. It is concluded that treatment of the above cases should include endaural drug phonophoresis and phonoelectrophoresis used alone, if rheoencephalographic parameters are stable, or used in combination with peroral and parenteral drug administration, if cerebral circulation parameters are unstable.
