mefenamic acid has been researched along with Tinnitus in 1 studies
Mefenamic Acid: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It is an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase.
mefenamic acid : An aminobenzoic acid that is anthranilic acid in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a 2,3-dimethylphenyl group. Although classed as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, its anti-inflammatory properties are considered to be minor. It is used to relieve mild to moderate pain, including headaches, dental pain, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Tinnitus: A nonspecific symptom of hearing disorder characterized by the sensation of buzzing, ringing, clicking, pulsations, and other noises in the ear. Objective tinnitus refers to noises generated from within the ear or adjacent structures that can be heard by other individuals. The term subjective tinnitus is used when the sound is audible only to the affected individual. Tinnitus may occur as a manifestation of COCHLEAR DISEASES; VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE DISEASES; INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION; CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; and other conditions.

"Change of participant-reported tinnitus symptoms 1 week after each intervention.~The Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) is a 25-question survey assessing tinnitus impact on quality of life. Participants were asked to rate on a scale from 0-10 the degree of unpleasantness, cognitive interference, sleep disturbance, auditory difficulties, interference with relaxation, and emotional distress associated with their tinnitus. Subscores are summed and scaled to a score of 0-100. A score less than 25 indicates mild problems due to tinnitus and little need for intervention, while a score between 25-50 indicates significant problems due to tinnitus with potential need for intervention.~A decrease in TFI score indicates decreased bother due to tinnitus over time, a better outcome. An increase in TFI score indicates increased bother due to tinnitus over time, a worse outcome." (NCT03365011)
Timeframe: Pre-intervention and 1 week post-intervention
| Intervention | score on a scale (Mean) |
|---|---|
| Placebo | -1.8 |
| Nitrous Oxide | -2.5 |
"Change in participant-reported tinnitus bother after each intervention.~Global Bothersome Scale (GBS) measured participant's self-assessment of tinnitus bother on a 5-point scale ranging from Not bothered, 0 to Extremely bothered, 5.~A change of 0 indicates no change in tinnitus bother over time. A change of -1 indicates somewhat improved tinnitus bother, and a change of positive 1 indicates somewhat worsened tinnitus bother. A change of positive 2 indicates significantly worsened tinnitus bother." (NCT03365011)
