Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Stellate ganglion block (SGB) has been the alternative treatment of Meniere's disease for years. However, objective evidence of the effect of SGB was still lack. The investigators conducted a randomized controlled study to examine the immediate effects of SGB in SP/AP of electrocochleography (ECoG).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Ten patients were randomly assigned to receive stellate ganglion block. These ten patients made up the experimental group. Another ten patients in the control group were assigned to receiving one dosage of oral medications: 0.25mg of erispan@ (fludiazine) , 25mg cephadol@ (diphenidol), and 200mg kentons@ (tocopherol nicotinate).
