Abstract in brief

  • Tinnitus is a condition where individuals perceive sound without an external source, leading to significant health and healthcare impacts, and various management strategies are used to alleviate symptoms.
  • The review examined the effectiveness of Ginkgo biloba, comparing it to placebo or no treatment, in both adults and children with tinnitus, considering all doses and treatment durations.
  • The primary outcomes focused on changes in tinnitus severity and potential serious side effects, while secondary outcomes included loudness, perception, psychological impacts, quality of life, and other adverse effects.]

(3/5) Nouvelle analyse 2022 (12 études - 1915 participants) : pas en mesure de tirer des conclusions significatives (mauvaise qualité des études). https://t.co/oTYnPjGTmF Toujours aucune preuve à ce jour. Ceux qui affirment le contraire se doivent de monter des études sérieuses.

@RealKiraDavis @jpwilloughby I am very sorry to hear about this. If you are of a mind, you might try vitamin B-complex as several Covid/Covid vaccine symptoms are the same as those of deficiencies in these vitamins. Additionally, some have good luck with Ginkgo biloba for tinnitus, if no contraindications.
