Flunarazine (Sibelium)
It is suggested that anticonvulsants like Flunarizine might alleviate central auditory hyperactivity often linked to tinnitus. Additionally, Flunarizine is thought to potentially improve blood circulation and prevent the constriction of blood vessels, which are factors that could contribute to tinnitus.
Treatment Description:
Flunarizine is administered in the form of tablets as a proposed treatment for tinnitus.
Potential Adverse Effects:
The intake of Flunarizine has been associated with several common side effects, as reported in clinical trials, including nausea, dizziness, headaches, and fatigue, which could affect the overall tolerability of the treatment.
Research Insights:
The effectiveness of Flunarizine for tinnitus has been evaluated in a single study.
Conclusions Drawn from Research:
The limited study available suggests that Flunarizine did not outperform a placebo in treating tinnitus, indicating no significant benefit from its use. Furthermore, there is currently no compelling evidence to support a considerable positive impact of anticonvulsants, including Flunarizine, on tinnitus management.
