Evaluation Criteria, Diagnostic Criteria, Surgical Indications, and Establishment of Surgical Standards for Cerebral Tinnitus Syndrome Caused by Internal Jugular Vein Stenosis

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating "Cerebral Tinnitus Syndrome," a condition marked by the perception of internal head sounds along with symptoms like hearing loss, headaches, blurred vision, and sleep disturbances. This syndrome is linked to narrowing of the internal jugular veins, which disrupts brain blood flow and waste removal. The study aims to develop standardized criteria for diagnosis and surgery to better treat this condition, which currently lacks effective therapies and significantly impacts patients' quality of life. The trial involves a surgical procedure called internal jugular vein decompression to relieve vein narrowing caused by bony or soft tissue compression. The surgery includes bone removal and soft tissue release around the vein, followed by increasing blood pressure during surgery to improve blood flow. Researchers will perform this procedure on 107 patients, using strict evaluation and surgical standards to improve treatment outcomes and create clinical guidelines. Participants will undergo symptom assessments, imaging tests, and multidisciplinary evaluations before surgery. Postoperative follow-ups at 3 and 12 months will monitor improvements in tinnitus and other symptoms, vein shape, and blood flow, as well as safety outcomes. The study will also build a database and evaluation scale for cerebral tinnitus, aiming to improve diagnosis, treatment, and patient quality of life over the study period.
