About this study

Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) refers to idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss of at least 30 dB over at least three test frequencies occurring over a 72-hour period. Vertigo has been considered a risk factor of poor prognosis in patients with ISSNHL. However, the clinical outcome and development of vestibular function in these patients have not been reported yet. We'd like to conduct a study on the problem whether these patients resulted in a complete recovery of the peripheral vestibular functions or compensation of the central vestibular system. If the answer is the former one, these cases might be supportive evidence of regeneration of hair cells in vestibular disorders.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a prospective cohort study with only one cohort. Enrolment and data collection are performed by trained research staff who are not involved in the care of the patients. The primary measurement is the vestibular function tests including SOT, the caloric reflex test, vHIT, VEMP (cVEMP and oVEMP). The secondary measurements included PTA, DHI, and VAS. The sample size was set at 60 patients. The continuous variables were expressed as means ± standard deviation (SD) whereas categorical variables were expressed as frequency and percentage for data description. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ISSNHL with vertigoOther

    Participants who suffered from ISSNHL with vertigo will be included in this study. Participants will undergo vestibular function tests including caloric test, sensory organization test, video head impulse test and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials at baseline and 2 months after onset as primary outcome, to evaluate the damage and prognosis of vestibular function.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Abnormal rate of vestibular function in the Sensory Organization Test(SOT) at baseline.

    abnormal rate=(number of participants who have abnormal results in vestibular function in SOT at the baseline)/(number of participants in total)

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Recovery rate of vestibular input in the Sensory Organization Test(SOT) at 2-months follow-up after onset.

    recovery rate=(number of participants who had abnormal results in vestibular function in SOT at the baseline and get normal vestibular function results in SOT at 2-months follow-up after onset)/(number of participants who had abnormal vestibular function results in SOT at the baseline)

    Measured: 2 months after onset

  3. Abnormal rate of the caloric test at baseline.

    Abnormal rate=(number of participants who have abnormal results in the caloric test at the baseline)/(number of participants in total).

    An abnormal result is considered if unilateral reaction weakening is greater than 22%, and/or directional preponderance is greater than 27%.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Recovery rate of the caloric test at 2-months follow-up after onset.

    recovery rate=(number of participants who had abnormal results in the caloric test at the baseline and get normal results in the caloric test at 2-months follow-up after onset)/(number of participants who get abnormal results in the caloric test at the baseline).

    An abnormal result is considered if unilateral reaction weakening is greater than 22%, and/or directional preponderance is greater than 27%.

    Measured: 2 months after onset

  5. Abnormal rate of the vHIT at baseline.

    Abnormal rate=(number of participants who have abnormal results in vHIT at the baseline)/(number of participants in total).

    An abnormal result is considered if there are pathological saccades and the gain of each semicircular canal is out of normal range.

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Recovery rate of the vHIT at 2-months follow-up after onset.

    recovery rate=(number of the participants who had abnormal results in vHIT at the baseline and get normal results in vHIT at 2-months follow-up after onset)/(number of the participants who get abnormal results in vHIT at the baseline).

    An abnormal result is considered if there are pathological saccades and the gain of each semicircular canal is out of normal range.

    Measured: 2 months after onset

  7. Abnormal rate of Cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (cVEMP) at baseline.

    Abnormal rate=(number of participants who have abnormal results in cVEMP at the baseline)/(number of participants in total) The abnormal result is considered if potentials were not elicited or out of normal range, or the asymmetrical ratio is larger than normal.

    Measured: Baseline

  8. Recovery rate of Cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (cVEMP) at 2-months follow-up after onset.

    recovery rate=(number of the participants who had abnormal results in cVEMP at the baseline and get normal results in cVEMP at 2-months follow-up after onset)/(number of the participants who had abnormal results in cVEMP at the baseline) The abnormal result is considered if potentials were not elicited or out of normal range, or the asymmetrical ratio is larger than normal.

    Measured: 2 months after onset

  9. Abnormal rate of Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (oVEMP) at baseline.

    Abnormal rate=(number of participants who had abnormal results in oVEMP at the baseline)/(number of participants in total) The abnormal result is considered if potentials were not elicited or out of normal range, or the asymmetrical ratio is larger than normal.

    Measured: Baseline

  10. Recovery rate of Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (oVEMP) at 2-months follow-up after onset.

    recovery rate=(number of the participants who had abnormal results in oVEMP at the baseline and get normal results in oVEMP at 2-months follow-up after onset)/(number of the participants who had abnormal results in oVEMP at the baseline) The abnormal result is considered if potentials were not elicited or out of normal range, or the asymmetrical ratio is larger than normal.

    Measured: 2 months after onset

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change of Dizziness Handicap Inventory at 2 months after onset

    Mean value of change of DHI from baseline at 2 months after onset in each participant.

    Subjective evaluation of vertigo by participants. Score range from 0 to 100 (0 refers to no influence on daily life, while 100 refers to the most severe influence on patient's daily life.)

    Measured: 2 months after onset

  2. Change of Visual Analogue Scale in Vertigo at 2 month after onset

    Mean value of change of VAS-V from baseline at 2 months after onset in each participant.

    Subjective evaluation of vertigo by participants. Score from 0 to 10. The larger the score, the more severe the vertigo is.

    Measured: 2 months after onset

  3. Change of Pure Tone Audiometry(PTA) at 2 months after onset

    mean value of change of PTA in each participant at 2 months after onset from baseline (if the participants can provide with an earlier PTA result before enrollment and after onset, which we believe is of high possibility, this PTA result will be considered as baseline parameters).

    Measured: 2 months after onset

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Abnormal rate of vestibular function in the Sensory Organization Test(SOT) at baseline. (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03951584, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Nov 2022.
