Research and publications

The treatment at the clinic is based on research that we have made since 1992. Our research focuses on Ménières Syndrome: vertigo, tinnitus, ear fullness and hearing loss related to muscle tension of the masticary muscles and the neck. Four studies have been published in international, scientific, journals and a fifth study has been accepted for publication.
