Curcumin for Tinnitus
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a pill with curcumin and boswellia for people with severe tinnitus due to hearing loss. The pill is designed to reduce ear inflammation and potentially decrease the ringing sound.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot participate if you are using medications specifically for tinnitus or taking anticoagulants.
Is curcumin safe for human use?
How does the drug curcumin differ from other treatments for tinnitus?
Curcumin, especially in its highly bioavailable form, is unique because it has shown potential in protecting against hearing loss by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the ear, which are not typical targets of standard tinnitus treatments. This makes it a novel option compared to existing therapies that often focus on symptom management rather than addressing underlying cellular damage.678910
