Clinical Trial Summary

Considering the lack of evidence on the effects of combining acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with customized sound therapy for tinnitus-related insomnia patients, investigators designed this single-blind, 6-months randomized, controlled trial with two parallel groups. One is the ACT + sound therapy group, and the other is the sound therapy group.


Clinical Trial Description

Insomnia is one of the most frequent and severe comorbidities in patients with tinnitus and is highly relevant for the perceived tinnitus severity. Both tinnitus and insomnia significantly affect the quality of life of patients and represent a huge burden to society. While interventions exist to alleviate tinnitus distress, they often do not address sleep disturbances in tinnitus patients. Patients affected by tinnitus and insomnia suffer from long-term functional and psychological problems. Sound therapy is widely used to treat tinnitus, often combined with education and counseling, and can effectively improve the quality of life. In addition, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for tinnitus improves both tinnitus and sleep. However, there is a lack of evidence on the effects of combining ACT with sound therapy for tinnitus-related insomnia patients. To fully characterize tinnitus patients, standardized measures of tinnitus and insomnia are essential. These measures include pure tone audiometry (PTA), acoustic immittance (AI), tinnitus pitch matching (PM) and loudness matching (LM), minimum masking level (MML), tinnitus handicap inventory (THI), insomnia severity index (ISI), and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). Investigators hypothesize that the combination of ACT and sound therapy will be superiority to sound therapy alone in reducing tinnitus distress. ;
