Balloon dilatation of the Eustachian tube for obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction in adults. [PDF]

Cochrane Database Syst Rev
BACKGROUND: Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) causes symptoms and signs of pressure dysregulation in the middle ear, and is associated with tympanic membrane retraction, otitis media with effusion, and chronic otitis media. Interventions aiming to improve symptoms can be non-surgical or surgical, including balloon dilatation of the Eustachian tube ...

Management of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: A Review. [PDF]

Cureus, 2022
The Eustachian tube is a crucial pneumatic component of the head and neck region and is often neglected as an important site of insidious pathologies. In our literature review, we negotiate the management of eustachian tube dysfunction and explore the various therapeutic and surgical options available at our disposal.

Validating the clinical assessment of eustachian tube dysfunction: The eustachian tube dysfunction questionnaire (ETDQ‐7) [PDF]

Laryngoscope, 2012
AbstractObjectives/Hypothesis:Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common condition that is associated with otologic and rhinologic symptoms. The complete assessment of ETD is limited without a valid symptom score. We developed and conducted initial validation of the seven‐item Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ‐7), a disease‐specific ...

Development of an In Vivo Model for Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. [PDF]

Bioengineering (Basel), 2022
Otitis media is often connected to Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). Until now, there was no large animal model available for the examination of new treatment methods such as stents for the Eustachian tube (ET). Thus, the aim of the study was to develop a method to reproducibly induce ETD by injection of fillers and without permanent closure of the ET.

First Investigation of a Eustachian Tube Stent in Experimentally Induced Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. [PDF]

Bioengineering (Basel)
Unmet needs in the treatment of chronic otitis media and Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) triggered the development of stents for the Eustachian tube (ET). In this study, for the first time, stents were placed in an artificially blocked ET to evaluate stent function.
