ABSTRACT
Somatic tinnitus is a condition that results from cervical spine or temporomandibular disorders. It commonly affects 36–43% of the Belgian population. We present a single case experimental design of a 38 year old somatic tinnitus patient having neck pain, headache, and ringing sensation in both ears. Six sessions of soft tissue mobilization were performed for 30 minutes on alternate days for two weeks. Postural re-education exercises were instructed as a home regime. Outcome measures were Visual Analogue Scale, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, and digital calibrated algometer which were evaluated at baseline and after the last treatment session. Following 6 sessions of treatment there was a significant improvement in outcome measures. This study implies positive results of manual therapy on quality of life and pain pressure threshold in somatic tinnitus patients.
