ABSTRACT
Objectives: The objective of this study is to report three successful cases of tinnitus treatment using thread-embedding therapy.
Methods: Thread-embedding therapy was performed on GV20 (百會), CV12 (中脘), and both sides of GB2 (聽會), TE17 (翳風), ST25 (天樞), and ST36 (足三里) for a duration ranging from 2 to 13 sessions. The severity of tinnitus was assessed using the Korean Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (K-THI) and the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale (VNRS).
Results: In Case 1, the patient's THI score decreased from 92 to 8, and the VNRS score decreased from 10 to 0. In Case 2, the patient's THI score decreased from 62 to 2, and the VNRS score decreased from 7 to 0. In Case 3, the patient's THI score decreased from 88 to 42, and the VNRS score decreased from 8 to 4.
Conclusions: Thread-embedding therapy demonstrated a positive clinical effect in the treatment of tinnitus.
