Lidoderm Patch (Lidocaine 5%) for Tinnitus Treatment
Lidocaine Patch (Lidocaine 5%) as a Treatment for Tinnitus and Its Accompanied Symptoms
The investigators like to learn whether Lidoderm patch (lidocaine 5%) helps tinnitus patients.
so far it is known that lidocaine I.V do helps tinnitus but until now it is not clear if other means of drug delivery (e.g lidocaine patch) help tinnitus.
The investigators are going to compare 1 day of treatment with lidoderm patch cream Versus (VS.) tegaderm patch (containing no drug) in treating tinnitus patients.
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether lidoderm patch (lidocain 5% patch) cream decreases tinnitus by comparing pretrial questionnaires to post trial questionnaires.
first the investigators are going to invite tinnitus patients for the first visit.
the participants will get full explanation about the trial. in the first visit the investigators will confirm that the participants are suitable for the trial -
- no exclusion criteria are present
the participant will perform 2 screening tests-
- minimental state examination (MMSE) to evaluate patients cognitive ability to participate in this trial. performance under 24 points is an exclusion criteria
- Beck depression test- to evaluate patient's ability to be influenced by the lidoderm patch. performance above 24 points is an exclusion criteria the participant will sign on an informed consent form and fulfill a demographic and personal details form.
the participant will undergo ear investigation to exclude ear inflammation, perform audiometry and tinnitus characteristic test to prove sensorineural hearing loss and to get details about the tinnitus characteristics. then the participant will fill 4 questionnaires that reflect the tinnitus loudness and show how much the participant does suffer from this conditions.
- tinnitus handicap inventory.which estimates the degree that tinnitus affects patients life. it contains 25 questions . The minimum score is 0 and the maximum is 100.
- Pittsburgh sleep quality index - A 9 questions exam that measures the quality of sleep. the range of results goes between 0-24. The higher the score- the worse is the quality of sleep.
- visual analogue scale (VAS) for tinnitus subjective loudness evaluation (how much the patient evaluates the loudness of the tinnitus)
- visual analogue scale (VAS) for tinnitus severity evaluation. (patient's estimation of the amount that tinnitus causes him subjective suffering) Then the investigators will perform randomization: one group will get first the lidoderm patch and later that week the tegaderm patch, the other group will get first the tegaderm patch and later on the lidoderm patch.
Later that day (in the evening), the participant will come to the department (second visit) and the ear nose and throat (ENT) doctor will attach 3 patches on his back for 12 hours (either lidoderm or tegaderm patches).
The participant will be instructed to call the chief investigator When any kind of side effect occurs (topical/ systemic).
in the next morning the participant will come back to our department. (third visit) he will-
- fill the 4 questionnaires (tinnitus handicap inventory, pittsburgh sleeping scale, VAS severity scale and VAS loudness scale)
- blood test for lidocaine serum level check will be carried out by a nurse that is authorized to perform blood tests.
- removal of the patches from the patient's back. 60 hours after the third visit, the participant will attend our department (forth visit). An ENT doctor will attach 3 patches to his back (the second type of patches: participant that had already in the previous visit lidoderm patches will now have the tegaderm patches and vice versa). 12 hours later the participant comes back for his fifth visit. The same 3 steps that were performed in the third visit will be performed again (4 questionnaires, patches removal, blood test for lidocain serum determination).
The investigators hypotheses that lidoderm patches decreases tinnitus as can be estimated by the score of the 4 questionnaires that measure tinnitus aspects.

Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: 1. lidoderm patches first
29 tinnitus patients treated first with 3 patches of lidoderm for 1 day, for 12 consecutive hours. 60 hours after removal of the patches the patients will have 3 neutral patches (containing no drug) attach to their back for 12 hours. after the removal of each kind of patch the patient will fill 4 types of questionnaires that assess his amount of tinnitus we will compare the questionnaires results before and after the application of those patches. |
The investigator will attach the patches on the patient's back for 12 consecutive hours. tinnitus questionnaires will be fulfilled by the patient before and after the patches usage . blood test for serum lidocaine level will be measured after the usage of this patch
Other Names:
each participant will undergo blood test. the participant's group that start the trial with the lidoderm patch and later will use the tegaderm patch will have 2 blood tests for werum lidocain level test. the group taht start the trial with the tegaderm patch and later the lidoderm patch will have only one blood test measuring lidocaine serum level. the tubes containing the serum will be shipped abroad via an international medical cargo company for lidocaine levels tests.
each participant that have not done hearing test in the last 1 year previous to the trial will have one in the first day of the trial.

Experimental: 2. tegaderm patches first
