The Effecttiveness of Intratympanic Methylprednisolon Injections Compared to Placebo in the Treatment of Vertigo Attacks in Meniere's Disease

Ménière's disease is an inner ear disorder in which patients suffer from attacks of vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss. To date, it is unclear what the best treatment for this condition is. Giving injections in the inner ear with the adrenal cortical hormone methylprednisolone is a treatment that is already widely used, but still there is insufficient evidence in the effectiveness of this treatment. This multicenter trial compares a patient group which receives injections of methylprednisolone to a patient group which receives placebo injections. Subsequently, dizziness, tinnitus, hearing loss and quality of life will be assed and compared for the above mentioned groups, over a period of one year.
