Tinnitus Treatment
Treatment for tinnitus comes in a variety of forms. Low level
treatment can include a change in diet or the use of dietary
supplements. Commonly prescribed vitamins for sufferers of
tinnitus include: -Niacin -Lecithin -Zinc -Magnesium
Among others, Gingko Biloba has also become somewhat popular.
There is a much wider range of pharmaceutical drugs available
for the treatment of tinnitus. Many are aimed more at treating
associated depression, which is a common side-effect due to the
persistent nature of the disease. For more comprehensive
information about tinnitus and the causes and treatments, visit
http://www.stoptinnitusinfo.com. In fact you will find that some
treatment are more suitably designed to facilitate sleep rather
than deal with the primary issue of tinnitus, such is the
difficulty in treating the condition. Some of the drugs
currently available are: -Anti Depressants, Tranquilizers and
Muscle Relaxants -Alprazolam (Xanax) -Klonopin -Anti Convulsants
-Intravenous Lidocaine -Tocainide Hydrochloride -Histamine -Anti
Histamine -Meclizine -DMSO -Vinpocentine and Vincamine
-Hydergine -Diuretics -Betahistine Hydrochloride (SERC)
-Caroverine -Carbogen
There is also a range of other treatments available and although
some have little or no side-effects, others such as surgery can
be quite invasive procedures. As in all cases, when considering
your condition or disease it is extremely important to consider
the level of
discomfort a disease or condition may be causing
the sufferer on a daily basis. Once this level is established
then it is necessary to gain all the available information about
the procedure or treatment that is being considered. Although a
positive outlook is useful in many instances, it is imperative
the worst case scenario is considered when making a decision
concerning invasive procedures. ANY form of surgery does run the
risk of complication and infection. More information from this
author on the subject of tinnitus is available at
http://www.stoptinnitusinfo.com.
Alternative treatments available for tinnitus include:
-Biofeedback -Accupuncture -Stress Reduction -Hearing Aids
-Cranial Sacral Therapy -Electrical Stimulation -Surgically
Severing the Auditory Nerves -Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
-Feedback Therapy -Auditory Integration Training -Sound Therapy
-Hypnotherapy -Homeopathic Remedies -Temporomandibular Disorder
and Coexisting Tinnitus
So far there is no real winner as far as treatments are
concerned. Basically, in the absence of firm scientific
knowledge on the subject, alternative therapies have occupied
the void that modern medicine has been unable to fill. This is
not to say that the aforementioned therapies are ineffective,
but there is certainly no surefire treatment that has a
significant success rate.
