The pharmacologic management of tinnitus with brain-acting effects (for example, amitriptyline, acamprosate, and gabapentin) and those with anti-inflammation/anti-oxidant effect (for example, intra-tympanic dexamethasone injection plus oral melatonin) appear to serve as the preferable effective treatments for tinnitus without specific or Gabapentin is effective in reducing subjective and objective aspects of tinnitus in some individuals, with the best therapeutic response obtained in individuals with associated acoustic trauma. Subjective tinnitus, the phantom ringing or buzzing sensation that occurs in the absence of sound, affects 12–14% of adults; in some cases the tinnitus is so severe or disabling that patients seek medical treatment. However, although the economic In our patient, a unilateral tinnitus with an antecedent ipsilateral facial nerve injury, and a pre-existing hypertension and diabetes mellitus would likely support a secondary injury as cause for her tinnitus. The normal neuroimaging do not. Arguably, one of the drugs that has been studied most extensively as a tinnitus treatment is gabapentin (marketed as Neurontin®). It is useful to look at the history of this drug to appreciate the promise and pitfalls encountered when searching for effective tinnitus treatments. Objectives/Hypothesis: This study evaluated the effectiveness of gabapentin in treating chronic tinnitus in two populations: participants with tinnitus with associated acoustic trauma and participants with tinnitus without associated acoustic trauma. Gabapentin is a commonly-used medication for the treatment of neuropathic pain (e.g. peripheral neuropathy), restless leg syndrome, and seizure prevention & management – as well as other conditions like anxiety disorders & substance use disorders (off-label). Although many find gabapentin effective as a treatment for the aforementioned medical conditions, some are concerned about the drug Why should we not be surprised? After all, Gabapentin causes tinnitus in a good number of the people that take it. In fact, Gabapentin is quite ototoxic. According to the PDR, it can cause hearing loss, hyperacusis, tinnitus, ataxia, dizziness, vertigo, and ear pain among other things. Claims for treatment That anticonvulsants potentially reduce central auditory hyperactivity that may be related to tinnitus [1]. What is the treatment? Gabapentin is taken in pill or capsule form. What are the downsides of this treatment? Common side effects from clinical trials included nausea, dizziness, headache, tiredness [2]. Has there been research into this treatment? Yes, although very The main aim of this study was to assess the effect of gabapentin on tinnitus via a systematic review. An electronic search of literature as well as a hand search were conducted. Only double-blind randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that met all of the inclusion criteria were included in this review. The authors of both studies reported that gabapentin was not superior to placebo in their primary outcomes. However, following the assessment of risk of bias and within-study clinical heterogeneities, this review concludes that there is insufficient evidence regarding the effect of gabapentin on tin International Tinnitus Journal, Vol. 14, No. 1, 1–5 (2008) - Gabapentin and Tinnitus Relief This article is an editorial reply on the JAMA Network report above. In this article, the author describes the case of a patient with tinnitus who was successfully treated with the antiepileptic medication gabapentin. We found that gabapentin significantly decreased the VAS score in patients with tinnitus due to acoustic trauma. Moreover, gabapentin significantly increased the frequency of patients responding to treatment (≥30% decrease in VAS). I was doing some research on Gabapentin (Neurontin) and was wondering if anyone out there has any intel on it? The below study claims it has little to no effect compared to placebo. But I have heard some encouraging results elsewhere. Any thoughts?

Neurontin, also known as gabapentin, is a medication that has been used to treat various conditions, including nerve pain and seizures. In recent years, it has been explored as a potential treatment for tinnitus, a condition characterized by ringing or other sounds in the ears. Tinnitus: A Complex Condition Tinnitus is a complex condition that affects Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is a listed side effect of Neurontin (gabapentin). Interestingly enough, even though gabapentin can cause ringing in the ears, it is sometimes prescribed off-label for the treatment of it. ict our patients’ reports of tinnitus relief with GP.
