ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the clinical efficacy on the treatment of the low-middle frequency sudden hearing loss with postaurical injection of methylprednisolone.@*METHOD@#The 80 cases of the low-middle frequency sudden hearing loss were randomly divided into postaurical injection and oral hormone groups. The postaurical injection group (42 cases) received the postaurical injection of methylprednisolone, 40 mg/2 d, combined with the treatment of Ginkgo dipyidamolum and Alprostadil for 14 d; The oral hormone group (38 cases) received the oral prednisone, 1 mg/kg/d, administrated once on the morning for 3 d, if effective, prolonging for another 2 d, as mentioned above for Ginkgo dipyidamolum and Alprostadil.@*RESULT@#The total effective rate was 88.10% in postaurical injection group and 86. 4o%in oral hormone group. There was no significant difference between the twbogroups( P> 0. 5).@*CONCLUSION@#Postaurical injection of methylprednisolone for the low-middle frequency sudden hearing loss is effective, safe and simple, which may be an alternative for systemic administration of gulcocorticoid.
