Abstract: (3193 Views)
Background and purpose: Tinnitus is the perception of sound without external acoustic stimuli that has a great impact on quality of life. This disorder can affect sleep, daily activities, and social functioning. It also entails great costs to affected individual and society. Despite many studies of modern medicine, the exact pathophysiology of tinnitus is unknown. Hence, there is increasing attention to complementary medicine for management and control of the disease. The purpose of this investigation was to study the sources of Persian medicine for the causes of tinnitus to establish an appropriate model for its prevention and treatment.
Materials and methods: We conducted a qualitative study (summative content analysis) and analyzed Persian medicine books and electronic databases.
Results: One of the most important causes of tinnitus is accumulation of waste products and winds in ears and brain due to mistemper, indigestion, participatory diseases, formation of ripples and their movement in brain vapors, and stimulation of auditory nerve. In order to prevent and treat tinnitus, Iranian medicine places great emphasis on the six core pillars for a healthy life.
Conclusion: It seems that lifestyle modification could be of great help in preventing tinnitus and its management could also be done using methods that are associated with less complications.
