Prospective evaluation of relaxation exercises and sound masking therapy in tinnitus patients

Abstract

Aim: Prospective evaluation of relaxation exercises and masking in tinnitus patients. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two patients with a mean age of 54.69±12.68 years who consulted the otolaryngology clinic with chronic tinnitus were included. Patients were randomized into four groups as: 1) Tinnitus masker device and relaxation exercises given, 2) Only tinnitus masker given, 3) Only relaxation exercises given and 4) Neither relaxation exercises implemented nor tinnitus masker given (control group). For the interventions, the Turkish Psychological Association Relaxation Exercises CD and tinnitus masker device were used. Tinnitus Reaction Questionnaire (TRQ), Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire (THQ), Case Report Form, and Tinnitus / Hyperacusis Initial Assessment Forms were used for evaluation and follow-up. Patients were evaluated at the beginning and at the end of three months. Results: TRQ scores of groups 1-4 at the beginning of the study were 37.38±19.81, 21.00±21.82, 27.25±13.12 and 35.25±24.51 respectively. Mean TRQ scores of groups 1-4 at the third month were 21.50±16.00, 17.25±17.80, 37.88±16.18 and 52.13±10.29 respectively. Mean THQ scores of groups 1-4 at the beginning of the study were 979.38±685.79, 643.5±383.47, 838.75±530.42 and 1375±652.95 respectively. Mean THQ scores of groups 1-4 at the third month were 741.88±635.24, 622.75±344, 1208.13±623.21 and 1958.75±667.46 respectively. A statistically significant difference was found between the THQ-beginning and THQ-end scores of group 1 only. Conclusion: Using masker device with relaxation exercises significantly reduces the distress and annoyance caused by tinnitus.
