Abstract In this paper we investigate the influence of cold plasma as novel method on the external otitis treatment which is a frequent cause of earache. 24 infected external auditory canals in 24 rats were categorized in four experimental groups including control, plasma exposed, ciprofloxacin drug and mixed of plasma-ciprofloxacin groups. In plasma group, dielectric barrier discharge was employed as the source of cold plasma in 5 days. All rats were observed with otoscope daily and a scoring system was used to evaluate swelling and effusion of the ear canal. Number of colonies in microbiological culture were counted in each group during the first 5 days after treatment. For the multiple group comparisons of swelling and effusion measured in the external auditory canal, Kruskal–Wallis analysis was applied and one-way anova and Kruskal–Wallis analysis was used for the statistical analysis of the results of the cultures in different days. Also, Tukey and Mann–Whitney tests was applied for multiple comparisons. Our findings show that swelling and effusion were obviously reduced in plasma group compared to control group (P |
