Abstract
This systematic review aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on hearing loss (HL) caused by skull base fracture (SBF). We will retrieve the following electronic databases of Cochrane Library, PUBMED, EMBASE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database from the inception to January 1, 2019 for relevant RCTs of NMES for HL caused by SBF. Two experienced authors will independently perform the study selection, data extraction, and methodology quality assessment. A 3rd author will solve any disagreements between 2 authors through discussion. This study will provide a high-quality synthesis of latest evidence of NMES for HL caused by SBF from comprehensive assessments, including hearing loss evaluation, hearing threshold, quality of life, and any relevant adverse events. The expected results of this systematic review will provide the up-to-date evidence to assess the effectiveness and safety of NEMS for patients with HL caused by SBF. The results of this study will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal or will be presented at an associated conference me...Continue Reading
