[The control study of glycerol test in different stage of Meniere's disease patients].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the best time of the glycerol test on Meniere's disease patients.

METHOD:

The glycerol test was carried out two times on 72 Meniere's disease patients, one time in the period of onset and the other in the period of intermission.

RESULT:

The positive rate in the period of onset (83.3%) was far higher than in the period of intermission(43.1%), additionally, the positive rate is irrelevant to the degree of hearing impairing or the course of disease.

CONCLUSION:

The glycerol test should be carried out in the period of onset as possible as you can to the suspicious patients.
