Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) effectively improved hearing and balance in patients with chronic cochleovestibular disorders. This phytotherapeutic agent enhanced oculovestibular reflexes and patient comfort.

Area of Science:

  • Oto-neurology
  • Psychiatry
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Chronic cochleovestibular disorders impact balance and hearing.
  • Phytotherapeutic agents are explored for otoneurological conditions.
  • Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) is a notable agent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) in patients with chronic cochleovestibular disorders.
  • To assess the impact of EGb 761 on audiological, postural, and oculovestibular functions.
  • To determine subjective improvements in patient comfort.

Main Methods:

  • Pure-tone audiology (pure-tone average, speech reception threshold, speech discrimination score).
  • Craniocorpography for measuring lateral body sway and angular deviation.

  • Nystagmography to assess central nystagmic frequency.
  • Subjective assessment of patient comfort.

    • Main Results:

    • EGb 761 demonstrated a significant positive effect on postural and oculovestibular reflexes.
    • Improvements were observed in hearing function, including speech discrimination.
    • Patient-reported comfort levels were heightened following therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) is an effective phytotherapeutic agent for managing chronic cochleovestibular disorders.
    • EGb 761 positively influences key audiological and vestibular parameters.
    • The therapy enhances overall patient well-being and comfort.
