Original language description

OBJECTIVE: To verify the effect of laser therapy in a combination with administration of Ginkgo bilobae extract (EGb 761) in the treatment of the patients with chronic tinnitus. BACKGROUND DATA: Tinnitus is a symptom signifying the disturbances of a hearing system. The treatment is difficult due to multiple aetiology and great psychological influence of tinnitus. Studies concerning EGb 761 or laser, and their biological effect, suggest their use in the treatment of tinnitus. Nevertheless, the results ofclinical studies applying these methods vary, making their general clinical application rather controversial. METHODS: We performed simple prospective study involving 420 patients (16-77 years of age; 53,7 years mean, SD 14,2) with chronic tinnitus (duration 3 months to 40 years, 7,7 mean, SD 7,8).
