Clinical observation of magensium sulfate on treating explosive deafness

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effects of magensium sulfate in treatment of patients with explosive deafness.Methods:45 cases were randomly divided into two groups:magensium sulfate group (n=28) and glucocorticoid group (n=17).The subjects had received magensium sulfate therapy in the magensium sulfate group and dexamethasone therapy in the glucocorticoid group.The routine audiometric evaluation and ABR testing were performed and recorded pre-and pro-therapy.The statistical analysis was carried out on the data obtained from two groups with SPSS 11.0.Results:There were stastistically significant differences in hearing threshold between pre-and pro-therapy in the same groups and no stastistically significant differences between the two groups.Conclusion:Magensium sulfate therapy can effectively prevent sensorineural hearing loss after acoustic trauma by explosion in patients.
