5例梅尼埃‘’S病患者在压力室中暴露于低压环境中，同时伴有眩晕、恶心、耳鸣和耳朵饱满的急性发作。自发性眼球震颤是选择合适病例的客观标准。主观和客观症状的消退比其他类型的治疗快得多。4例患者在治疗后40min内症状消失，5例患者治疗后仍有眩晕、耳鸣、耳胀等症状。然而，症状没有那么严重。讨论了环境压力降低可能导致内淋巴体积减少，从而缓解梅尼埃S病急性症状的机制。
Five patients with Meniere''s disease were exposed to underpressure in a pressure chamber while suffering from acute attacks with vertigo, nausea, tinnitus and fullness of the ear. Spontaneous nystagmus was the objective criterion for the selection of suitable cases. Subjective and objective symptoms subsided much faster than they did with other kinds of treatment. Four patients were free from symptoms within 40 min, while the 5th case still complained of vertigo, tinnitus and fullness of the ear after the treatment. However, the symptoms were less severe. A mechanism is discussed by which an ambient pressure decrease might cause a reduction of the endolymphatic volume, thus relieving acute symptoms of Meniere''s disease.
