As always the first step in effective treatment of any condition is effective diagnosis. In the case of middle ear myoclonus diagnosis may require an inner ear examination along with a hearing test and other diagnostic processes. If a diagnosis of MEM is made treatment can commence.

The exact treatment regimen will vary from person to person due to different causal factors and whether or not they are currently undergoing treatment for other conditions. In a typical patient with no other ongoing health problems, medications can be prescribed to treat the condition and associated factors such as anxiety. 

In some other cases, botulinum toxin may be used to mitigate muscle spasm activity within the ear, thereby providing a level of relief from symptoms. Whether it is locally applied or injected is a decision that will be made by the Harley Street AVM expert at the time of treatment.
