Methods This is prospective controlled clinical trial involving patients who failed at least 10-days of conventional treatments. A total 26 patients (study group) received a micro-catheter into the tympanum for methylprednisone perfusion once a day for 10 consecutive days in addition to simultaneous administration of a conventional treatment (no systemic steroid). Twenty three patients in a control group were treated with a second conventional treatment only (no systemic steroid). At 3-month follow-up the treatment response rate and improvement of pure-tone average (PTA) were compared. Results The treatment response rate was 50% and 21.7% and the mean PTA improvement was 16.7dB and 9.2 db for the study and control groups respectively. The difference in treatment response rate was statistically significant (P = 0.041). When the time period from disease onset to IMP was limited to 60 days the treatment response rate and PTA improvement in the study group were 61.9% and 20.2 db respectively both higher than the control group(p = and P = respectively). The mean PTA improvement at low frequencies (0.25 and 0.5 khz) middle frequencies (1 and 2 khz) and high frequencies (4 and 8 khz) after IMP were 19.8 db 16.0 db 13.4 db respectively. The mean : (YKK05098) : daiyanhong9@126.com : shewandong@163.com
2 PTA improvement at low frequencies was better than that at high frequencies (P = 0.046). Conclusion Daily IMP through a micro-catheter as a salvage treatment for refractory SSNHL is safe and effective. Its efficacy is better than that of the conventional treatment. IMP treatment should be recommended as early as possible when the patient has failed a conventional treatment.
