Signed responses from readers of the wire.
This narrative review provides a useful overview of emerging therapies for Ménière's disease, but as a non-systematic review it does not justify changing current practice without further verification of individual studies cited.
Ménière's disease remains difficult to treat reliably, and a comprehensive overview of novel conservative and surgical options helps clinicians stay current on an evolving therapeutic landscape.
- 01Narrative review covers both conservative (non-surgical) and surgical options for Ménière's disease.
- 02Ménière's disease etiology (cause) is still poorly understood, complicating treatment selection.
- 03Novel therapies reviewed include pharmacological, intratympanic, and surgical approaches.
- 04Narrative format limits the ability to draw firm conclusions about comparative effectiveness.
- 05Published in Frontiers in Neurology (2026).
Novel conservative and surgical therapies exist beyond standard-of-care for Ménière's disease.
