Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Patients with intractable vertigo due to clinical Meniere's disease were offered treatment with Innovar, a neurolept analgesic. The patients were from a single clinical practice, had failed conventional dietary and medical treatment and were eligible on clinical grounds for endolymphatic sac surgery. After a follow-up of 2-8 years, 58% of patients had long-lasting relief of vertigo. Hearing was not affected. Risk factors for a favorable response were male gender, fluctuating hearing, and early stage of the disorder. Innovar is a safe, cost-effective second-line therapy for patients with Meniere's disease who have failed conventional first-line medical therapy. |
