Internal Jugular Vein Compression Collar for Novel Symptomatic Treatment of Venous Pulsatile Tinnitus

The current FDA approved internal jugular vein compression collar, marketed as the Q collar, is manufactured by Q30 Innovations Home. It is designed to be worn around the neck of individuals aged 13 and older. It functions by lightly compressing the internal jugular vein's bilaterally, safely increasing intracranial volume and intracranial pressure. The FDA approved neck collar device is made of a thermoplastic elastomer that is specifically fitted to an individual to provide mild internal jugular vein compression. The product was developed and confirmed with ultrasonography to confirm appropriate fit and compression of the vein based on an athlete's neck circumference.
