Article Synopsis
- Systemic glucocorticoids, like prednisolone and dexamethasone, are often used to treat idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL), but it's unclear if higher doses are more effective or riskier than lower doses.
- In a study with 325 patients, groups were given different regimens: high-dose intravenous prednisolone, high-dose oral dexamethasone, or lower-dose oral prednisolone.
- Results showed that while there were improvements in hearing, high-dose therapies (HD-Pred and HD-Dex) did not outperform lower-dose treatment (Pred-Control) and were associated with more adverse side effects.
