| Scientific title | Tabriz University of Medical Sciences trial of inpatient intravenous urographin plus corticosteroid versus outpatient oral corticosteroid therapy in the Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss |
| Study acronym | SSHL trial |
| Study objectives | Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss is a diagnosis typically made if there is a greater than 20 dB hearing loss over at least three frequencies on audiometric testing. Hypothesis: In-hospital and vigorous treatment with intravenous corticosteroid and urographin will improve the outcome of patients with a sudden sensorineural hearing loss when compared to an outpatient oral corticosteroid therapy. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Approved by the Institutional Board Review and Ethics Committee, a section of Research Deputy of Faculty of Medicine at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences (TUMS). |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss |
| Intervention | The trial is not a randomised one, as we had two groups: those hospitalised and those managed on outpatient. Hospitalisation was made on the basis of patient's request. Inpatient group received intravenous corticosteroid and intravenous urographin, while outpatient group received oral corticosteroid. |
