Progress in Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment of Tinnitus and Clinical Research

耳鸣是一种以耳内或颅内异常声响感知为特征的常见病症，国外流行病学调查结果显示，耳鸣的发病率为10%~17%。我国相关调查研究表明，耳鸣患者在我国耳鼻喉科门诊人数中占比约为7.5%，而在60岁以上老年人群中，耳鸣患者的占比较高，发病率达到了29.6%。儿童群体中也存在耳鸣患者，但成人群体的耳鸣患者更为普遍。随着我国逐步进入老龄化社会、人们生活压力的增大及环境污染等，耳鸣患者数量正呈逐年上升趋势，严重影响患者生活质量。本文系统综述耳鸣的中医病因病机、中药内服与外治疗法的临床研究及作用机制，探讨此病的治疗方法。为此病的防治提供新思路和参考。Tinnitus is a common disease characterized by abnormal sound perception in the ear or in the brain. The foreign epidemiological survey shows that the incidence of tinnitus is 10%~17%. Relevant research in China shows that tinnitus patients account for about 7.5% of the total number of otorhinolaryngological outpatients in China, while among the elderly aged over 60, tinnitus patients account for a relatively high proportion, with an incidence rate of 29.6%. There are also tinnitus patients in the pediatric population, but tinnitus patients are more common in the adult population. With China gradually entering an aging society, increasing living pressure, and environmental pollution, the number of tinnitus patients is on the rise year by year, seriously affecting their quality of life. This article provides a systematic review of the traditional Chinese medicine etiology and pathogenesis of tinnitus, as well as clinical research and mechanisms of action on oral and external treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, and explores the treatment methods for this disease. Provide new ideas and references for the prevention and treatment of this disease.
