- Abstract
-
This osteopathic study on patients with the tinnitus symptom discusses whether general
osteopathic treatment according to the principles of Still (osteopathic group), in comparison to
the progressive muscle relaxation of Jacobson (control group), can immediately influence
tinnitus in its intensity, pitch, discomfort and character, and how the long-term effect after 6
weeks is to be evaluated.
Tinnitus has emerged as a warning sign of an extreme situation. It has been established that
nearly all tinnitus patients (90%) examined in this study have an extensive tension in dura
mater or inner fascia along the central axis which is shown in a membranous imbalance in the
tentorium cerebelli and in rotation lesions of temporal bone. It is interesting that a release of
the vessel system through a release in dural, fascial and visceral structures can influence or
even eliminate the tinnitus symptom.
This study shows that osteopathy can influence tinnitus in its intensity and subjective
discomfort mainly in the acute stage, while the pitch and character of tinnitus are barely
changeable. Osteopathy can certainly be regarded as a gentle method of relieving an extreme
situation so that the patient recognises his or her own limits and can return to health. - presented at
