“…The remaining eight studies were level III single-arm cohort studies. (2)(3)(4)(5)(7)(8)(9)(10) Seven out of the 11 studies (2,(5)(6)(7)(9)(10)(11) employed the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) criteria for determining control of vertigo symptoms. Based on the AAO-HNS criteria, 7%-86% of patients in these studies had complete control of their vertigo symptoms and 14%-56% had substantial improvements in symptoms, following ESS.…”

This paper aims to identify emerging evidence for endolymphatic sac surgery (ESS) in the treatment of Meniere's disease since the landmark study by Thomsen et al, published in 1998Thomsen et al, published in (conducted from 1981Thomsen et al, published in to 1989. Using the MEDLINE database (PubMed), a systematic review of the literature published from January 1990 to June 2014 was performed. We included all English-language, peer-reviewed randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled studies. Single-arm cohort studies were included if the sample size was ≥ 90 with a response rate > 60%. Altogether, 11 studies fulfilled our inclusion criteria; one was an RCT, two were controlled trials and eight were single-arm cohort studies. There currently exists a low level of evidence for the use of ESS in the treatment of Meniere's disease. Further studies, in particular RCTs and/or controlled studies, are required to fully evaluate this modality. However, there are difficulties in designing a valid placebo and achieving adequate blinding of observers and investigators.

In this case series, we set out to describe the clinical entity of isolated, prolonged aural fullness (AF) and its relationship with migraine. Patients with isolated, persistent AF for 6 months or more were included with all possible etiologies ruled out. Migraine dietary and lifestyle changes and medical migraine prophylactic therapy were prescribed to all. Eleven patients were included (mean age, 52 years). Six (54%) patients fulfilled International Headache Society criteria for migraine with or without aura. Changes in perceived sensation of AF using the visual analog scale and quality of life questionnaires resulted in a statically significant improvement (P \ .001, 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.7 to 6.72, and P \.001, 95% CI, 25.3 to 22.7, respectively). As such, an improvement of isolated, prolonged AF with migraine lifestyle changes and prophylactic treatment may suggest an etiological association between migraine and prolonged aural fullness.

“…This scale has been used in some studies evaluating the outcomes of different treatment modalities in MD patients [27,28] . The other survey is the Meniere's Disease Outcome Questionnaire (MDOQ), generated by Kato et al [12] in 2004. This scale was principally developed for patients that had received endolymphatic sac surgery and has also been used to measure outcomes of other treatment methods of MD patients assessing functional, mental and social well-being QoL parameters [26,[29][30][31][32] .…”

OBJECTIVE:Ménière's Disease (MD) is a chronic, non-life threatening inner ear disease, with attacks of disabling vertigo, progressive hearing loss, and tinnitus as the major symptoms. All three symptoms, separately or in combination, cause great distress and have a considerable impact on the quality of life of the patients. The aims of this study were to develop a disease-specific quality of life survey for patients with MD and to analyze the relationships between the audiovestibular findings and the survey. MATERIALS and METHODS:Following Ear-Nose-Throat examination and audiovestibular tests, the Dokuz Eylül University Meniere's Disease Disability Scale (DEU-MDDS) and Turkish version of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI-T) were administered to 93 patients with definite MD. Reliability and validity analyses of the scale were performed. RESULTS:There were 45 (48.4%) male and 48 (51.6%) female patients and the mean age was 48.9±12.1 years. Cronbach's alpha was 0.92 and intraclass correlation coefficients of the DEU-MMDS were significant (p<0.001). Results of the Goodness of Fit Statistics showed that the expression levels of the items were high and the correlation coefficients of each item with the scale were sufficient. There was a statistically significant correlation between DHI-T scores and MDDS. DEU-MDDS was not related to the vestibular tests, age or gender (p>0.05). CONCLUSION:The MDDS is a valid and reliable scale as a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire for patients with MD.
