Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of thread embedding at the holographic point Kidney of the second metacarpal bone in treating tinnitus.Method Eighty-two patients with tinnitus were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 41 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by thread embedding at the holographic point Kidney of the second metacarpal bone, while the control group was by intragluteal injection with Mecobalamin 0.5 mg. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) was compared before intervention and after 1 treatment course.Result The THI scores were significantly changed in both groups after intervention (P<0.01). The change of THI score after intervention in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Thread embedding at the holographic point of the second metacarpal bone in an effective approach in treating tinnitus.
