目的：长期以来，心理干预一直被有效地应用于耳鸣的治疗。本研究比较了正念冥想和放松疗法的管理耳鸣。方法：在这个随机对照试验中，患者被招募为五届正念冥想或五届放松疗法。患者的反应进行了评估，使用耳鸣反应问卷作为主要的结果测量，和医院焦虑和抑郁量表，视觉模拟量表和健康状况指标作为次要outcome.Results：共招募了86例患者。34名患者完成了正念冥想，27名患者完成了放松疗法。除健康状态指标外，两个治疗组的所有结局指标均出现统计学显著改善。治疗分数的变化是更大的正念冥想组比放松therapy.Conclusion：这项研究表明，虽然正念冥想和放松疗法是有效的耳鸣的管理，正念冥想是上级放松疗法。
Objective: Psychotherapeutic interventions have been adopted effectively in the management of tinnitus for a long time. This study compared mindfulness meditation and relaxation therapy for management of tinnitus.Methods: In this randomised controlled trial, patients were recruited for five sessions of mindfulness meditation or five sessions of relaxation therapy. Patients' responses were evaluated using the Tinnitus Reaction Questionnaire as a primary outcome measure, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, visual analogue scale and a health status indicator as secondary outcome measures.Results: A total of 86 patients were recruited. Thirty-four patients completed mindfulness meditation and 27 patients completed relaxation therapy. Statistically significant improvement was seen in all outcome measures except the health status indicator in both treatment groups. The change in treatment scores was greater in the mindfulness meditation group than in the relaxation therapy group.Conclusion: This study suggests that although both mindfulness meditation and relaxation therapy are effective in the management of tinnitus, mindfulness meditation is superior to relaxation therapy.
