Stem cell injection for sudden severe hearing loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment for severe sudden hearing loss. A solution containing tiny particles from stem cells is injected into the ear to see if it can improve hearing and is safe.

This trial tests a regenerative stem cell treatment for people with hearing loss, tinnitus, or inner ear injury. It aims to see if the therapy can improve hearing or reduce symptoms.
This study tests whether the drug hydroxychloroquine can help treat sudden hearing loss. It compares the drug to standard treatment (steroids) to see if it is more effective and safe.
This trial tests a combination of treatments (integrative medicine) for people who have just lost their hearing suddenly. It may help improve hearing recovery if started early.
This trial is for adults who develop sudden hearing loss over a very short time window, confirmed by a hearing test. It aims to study the sudden hearing loss condition and whether the study approach can help people recover hearing.
