From MenieresInfo.com (our home website): A study published in the medical journal Archives of Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery, published by the American Medical Association, reports highly encouraging results in a two-year survey of patients using the Meniett Device. (“Archives of otolaryngology–head & neck surgery” Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2006 Dec;132(12):1311-6.) (See the MenieresInfo.com Treatment Page, Meniett Section.) The abstract is highly readable and pretty much speaks for itself.
We have yet to see a satisfactory explanation of how the Meniett Device might possibly treat Meniere’s Disease. Still, the device seems to help some patients, some for a short time, others for a much longer time. This study, which is not by any means a perfect study (it was “unblind,” for example) shows that some patients reported improvement for a very long time. Others in the study dropped out for surgical interventions.
As we say, “If it helps you, it helps you, no matter what ‘it’ is.”
