Abstract
Of 20 patients with a sensorineural hearing loss chiefly complaining of tinnitus, eleven with a positive RI test score were given Gosha-jinki-gan. Subjects ranged in age from 40 to 64 years, and included 4 men and 5 women. Two patients dropped out in the middle of the trial. The medicine was administered for 8 weeks. The average time for the RI test was 54.1 seconds, and the following effects were seen after 8 weeks. Two patients had most of their symptoms disappear, three experienced remission, three experienced slight remission, and one reported no change. The correlation between RI test results and treatment effects using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was 0.7637, with a 5% significance level. Gosha-jinki-gan was therefore determined to be effective in the treatment of RI-positive cases.
