[Hydergine in pathology of the inner ear]

There have been treated a total of 20 patients with troubles on the cochlear compartment and/or vestibular level which have been clinically expressed by a perceptive hypoacusia, tinnitus and rotatory vertigo. The final evaluation is referred to 17 patients, since three patients do not appear for control. All patients were treated only with Hydergine, on doses of 30 drops thrice daily, which is the equivalent to 4.5 mg/day of active substance. This treatment remained unaltered till the end of the last control. Controls have been effected after 30, 60 and 90 days of starting the treatment. In each control there was evaluated the subjective improvement of vertigo, tinnitus and hypoacusia when effecting to all patients by means of liminar- supraliminar- and automaticaudiometry, impedancimetry, T one-decay-test and electrooculonistagmography. The most meliorated symptomatology was vertigo, with a global improvement of 93.7 per cent on the treated patients. Tinnitus improve by 57.1 per cent and hypoacusia by 20 per cent. There is a total correspondence between the subjective data furnished by the patients and the objective tests carried out in the successive controls.
