Abstract

Objectives: This study examines the influence of music therapy on health quality in patients with tinnitus. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on patients with subjective tinnitus. 13 patients were included in this study (6 women, 7 men; mean age=46.76±11.18). The frequency of tinnitus, severity of tinnitus, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Short Form-36 (SF-36) were applied pre and post treatments (2 and 6 months). Results: Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were found between the pre-treatment and post-treatment (2 and 6 months) scores for the following: frequency of tinnitus, severity of tinnitus, VAS (tinnitus, loudness discomfort level, health quality), THI (emotional, functional, catastrophic and total scores), BDI and SF-36 (physical role, general health, vitality, social role, emotional role, mental health). Conclusion: Music therapy was found to be effective in treating tinnitus severity, reducing the level of discomfort and improving the quality of life in patients with subjective tinnitus

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, müzik terapisinin, tinnitusu olan bireylerin yaşam kalitesi üzerinde etkisini değerlendirmek amaçlandı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya, subjektif tinnituslu hastalar dahil edildi (6 kadın, 7 erkek; yaş ortalaması: 46.76±11.18). Hastaların terapi öncesi ve terapiden sonra 2. ve 6. aylarda tinnitus frekansı ve şiddeti saptandı. Vizüel Analog Skala (VAS), Tinnitus Engellilik Anketi (TEA), Kısa Form-36 (KF-36) (Short Form-36 (SF-36)) ve Beck Depresyon Ölçekleri (BDÖ) uygulandı. Bulgular: Terapi öncesinde ve terapi sonrasında (2. ve 6. aylarda) elde edilen tinnitus frekansı, şiddeti, VAS (tinnitus, yüksek sesten rahatsızlık, yaşam kalitesi), TEA (emosyonel, fonksiyonel, katastrofik, toplam), BDÖ ve SK-36 parametreleri (fiziksel rol, genel sağlık, canlılık, sosyal fonksiyon, emosyonel rol ve mental sağlık) arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark elde edildi (p
