title: [Impedancemetric monitoring of sulphurated crenotherapy in tubal dysfunction (author's transl)].
abstract: A projection study of comparative impedancemetric curves at the beinning and the end of a course of treatment was carried out during two hydrotherapeutic seasons (1974 and 1975); out of 237 cases which were relevant, only 24.4 per cent showed any improvement in tympanometry following sulphurated crounotherapy, further confirmation of the fact that this therapy is slow acting, as was already known. The major importance of respiratory allergy (84.6 per cent) in this group of tubal dysfunction disorders may partially explain the poor results; discrepancies in some results obtained by comparing impedancemetry, the pneumophonic index and audiometry are more difficult to interpret according to various theories.
