Pioneering Research on Treatment of Tinnitus with Laser Meridian Pionts Therapy / 医学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To seek an ideal treatment for tinnitus.Methods Use the pioneering of Laser Meridian Points Therapy(LMPT).The domestic He-Ne laser therapeutic instrument was used with optical fiber wave length 632.8nm,output power 2～30mW,therapeutic power quartz optical fiber at the end of fiber power 1～10mW,diameter of optical patch at the end of the optical fiber 0.2cm,optical patch area 0.0314cm～2,power density 31.85～318.47mW/cm～2.Use the optical fiber end of the instrument to contact and irradiate the following pointsYifeng(SJ 17),Yiming(Extra),Fengch'ih(GB20),Yingyou,T'ingKung(SI 19),T'inghui(GB 2),Erhmen(SJ 21),Paihui(Du 20),et al.Each point each time was irradiated for 5～15 minutes of laser dosage(energy density)9.555～286.623J/cm～2,once a day,7～14 days a course of treatment.Results 1808 cases(3037 ears)tinnitus(patients)of 1469(81.25%)cases 2686(81.22%)ears showed disapperance,313(17.31%)cases 577(17.45%)ears showed marked or some therapeutic effectiveness,26(1.44%)cases 44(1.33%)ears was ineffective.Follow-up survey 1～9 years of 1139 case 2043 ears found 936(82.18%)cases 1678(82.14%)ears had their tinnitus disappeared,188(16.51%)cases 340(16.64%)ears showed marked effectiveness or some effectiveness,15(1.32%)cases 25(1.22%)ears was ineffective.Conclusions LMPT for the treatment of tinnitus is the pioneering technique we have developed.Better than any other therapies at present and having good short-term effectiveness and stable and ideal long-term effectiveness,LMPT is worthwhile for further study and popularized clinical application.
