										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study focuses on <b>Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss</b> (SSNHL), a condition where hearing suddenly decreases within 72 hours, affecting at least three consecutive frequencies in one ear. The hearing loss must be at least 30 decibels in severity and have no known cause. The study aims to determine if a combination of two medications can improve hearing in people with this condition.</p>
<p>The treatment being tested combines <b>Aspirin Protect</b> (100 mg daily) and <b>Folic Acid</b> (5 mg daily). Some participants will receive these medications, while others will receive a placebo version of one or both medications. The study will track changes in hearing ability over time, particularly focusing on the improvement in hearing after 15 days of treatment.</p>
<p>Participants will be monitored for changes in their hearing through various tests over a period of 6 months. The study will measure hearing improvement, speech understanding, balance function, and quality of life. Regular check-ups will occur at specific intervals throughout the study period to assess how well the treatment is working.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a treatment for <b>sudden sensorineural hearing loss</b>, a condition where a person experiences a rapid loss of hearing, usually in one ear. The treatment being tested is an injection of a medication called <b>triamcinolone acetonide</b>, which is delivered directly into the cochlea, the part of the inner ear responsible for hearing. This medication is known by the brand name Volon® A 40 mg-Kristallsuspension-Spritzampulle.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to evaluate how well this treatment improves hearing in patients who have not responded to other treatments, such as oral or ear injections of steroids. Participants in the study will receive either the triamcinolone acetonide injection or a placebo. The study will observe changes in hearing ability over a period of time, using tests that measure how well participants can hear different tones and understand speech.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, participants will undergo various hearing tests, including the pure tone audiometry, which measures the ability to hear sounds at different pitches, and speech tests to assess how well they can understand spoken words. The study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of this treatment for those with persistent hearing loss after other therapies have failed.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying a condition known as <i>cisplatin-induced hearing loss</i>, which can occur in patients undergoing treatment for cancer. The study is investigating a new treatment called <i>SENS-401</i>, also known as <i>Arazasetron besylate</i>, which is taken as a film-coated tablet. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether SENS-401 can help prevent hearing loss caused by the cancer medication <i>cisplatin</i>.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will be adults who are receiving cisplatin as part of their cancer treatment. The study will involve taking SENS-401 at a dose of 43.5 mg twice a day for up to 23 weeks. The effectiveness of SENS-401 in preventing hearing loss will be assessed four weeks after the last dose of cisplatin. Some participants will receive a placebo instead of SENS-401 to compare the outcomes.</p>
<p>The study will monitor changes in hearing ability by measuring hearing thresholds, which are the quietest sounds a person can hear, at various frequencies. This will help determine if SENS-401 is effective in protecting against hearing loss. The trial is expected to continue until March 2025, with participants being recruited since December 2022.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a treatment for <i>Menière&#8217;s disease</i>, a condition that affects the inner ear and can cause episodes of vertigo, which is a sensation of spinning or dizziness. The treatment being tested is an injection of <i>methylprednisolone</i>, a type of medication known as a corticosteroid, which is used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. The trial aims to determine if methylprednisolone is more effective than a placebo in reducing the frequency of vertigo attacks in patients with Menière&#8217;s disease.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will receive injections directly into the ear, a method known as intratympanic injection. The study will compare the effects of methylprednisolone with those of a placebo over a period of one year. The goal is to see if the treatment can provide better control over vertigo attacks compared to not receiving the active medication. The study will also monitor the quality of life of participants, including aspects related to dizziness and tinnitus, which is a ringing or buzzing noise in one or both ears that may be associated with Menière&#8217;s disease.</p>
<p>In addition to methylprednisolone, the study will also consider the use of other medications such as <i>dexamethasone</i>, <i>triamcinolone</i>, and <i>gentamicin</i>, which are also administered through intratympanic injections. The study will track the frequency of these injections and assess their impact on hearing and overall well-being. The trial will also evaluate the use of <i>metoclopramide</i>, a medication that can help manage nausea and vomiting, which are common symptoms during vertigo attacks. The study is designed to provide valuable insights into the effectiveness and safety of these treatments for managing Menière&#8217;s disease.</p>
