Abstract
|
|
|
|
Meniere’s disease is an idiopathic syndrome of endolymphatic hydrops characterized by episodic vertigo, tinnitus, fluctuating hearing loss and ear fullness. The etiology and pathophysiology of the disease is still disputed. As yet, no treatment has conclusively modified the clinical course of the condition and thereby prevented the associated progressive hearing loss. We observed two cases of Meniere’s disease treated with oriental herbal medication by the diagnosis of Deficiency-Excess. One patient had taken BangHyunOnDam-tang, and the other had taken ChungGanESa-tang. After treatment, vertigo attacks were controlled in both. Tinnitus and hearing loss were improved in one patient and unchanged in the other. Therefore, we believe that oriental herbal treatment may be a therapeutic modality that is effective in controlling Meniere’s disease.
