Jul 1, 2017 · Each subject of this study underwent pure tone audiometry testing, evoked vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) and Vidionystagmography (VNG) before G1 and 2 h after glycerol G2 administration (1.3 g/kg). Affected ears were 32 and unaffected ears were 28.

This test provides information on the cochlear response to the osmotic changes produced by glycerol in the inner ear, whereas modifications in the vestibular labyrinth are usually not evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of glycerol on postural control during attacks of Ménière's disease, and to correlate this data ...

Glycerol test is a behavioral test that is used to assess the presence of Meniere’s disease. The principle of this test is that glycerol is a dehydrating agent, which when given orally, acts as a diuretic.

Nearly half a century ago, administration of glycerol was shown to temporarily improve the threshold of hearing in patients with suspected Menière’s disease (glycerol test). Although a positive test result provides strong evidence of Menière’s disease, the test has not gained widespread acceptance.

Oct 4, 2017 · A study specifically examined a set of patients whose only presenting complaint was fullness of ear/ears. The study used glycerol test with PTA and DPOAE to diagnose subjects at an early stage of Meniere’s disease and may have the potential to …

Methods: Each subject of this study underwent pure tone audiometry testing, evoked vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) and Vidionystagmography (VNG) before G1 and 2 h after glycerol G2 administration (1.3 g/kg). Results: Affected ears …

A negative glycerol test result and no audiometric evidence of significant hearing fluctuations indicate that a patient is unlikely to have postoperative hearing that is better than his best preoperative hearing.

Nov 1, 1980 · The salt-loading provocative glycerol test for the early diagnosis of auditory endolymphatic hydrops (Meniere’s disease)

This stud to explore the effect of glycerol on audiovestibular tests in patients with Meniere’s disease (MD) and to reflect different pathologic states of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in the inner ear and compare the results of glycerol on these results.

Glycerol Test. Glycerol is a potent osmolar agent which dehydrates the inner ear improving cochlear function and hearing. Indications – Fluctuating Sensorineural Hearing Loss; Episodic Vertigo; Ear Fullness / heaviness; Tinnitus
