Brief Summary

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

To investigate the effects of huperzine A on tinnitus suppression, hearing and cognitive function protection in patients with presbycusis-related subjective tinnitus and cognitive impairment.

Detailed Description

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

This study is a randomized, controlled trial. 60 eligible participants in total will be recruited. Participants in each group will be evenly and randomly assigned to the huperzine A subgroup and control subgroup using simple randomization method. Participants in the treatment subgroup will receive huperzine A (a dose of 0.2 mg/time, 2 times/day) with basic treatment and health education(BTHE), and those in the control subgroup will receive BTHE only. The primary outcome (auditory function) and secondary outcomes (tinnitus, cognitive symptom and quality of life) will be evaluated at baseline, 3-, 6-, 12-month follow-up.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The studies were divided into 2 groups: Control subgroup and huperzine A group.The study is a single-center, randomized, basic treatment and health education controlled trial, with minimized allocation of patients to one of the two groups.

For the study of tinnitus intervention, there is a 3 to 12 month follow-up.
