Clinical Trial Summary

Psychological and behavioral interventions, such as Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT) and Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), are commonly applied either alone or in combination for the management of tinnitus but selection of the intervention model remains arbitrary. Our purpose is to evaluate the hypothesis that genetic markers may guide the choice of tinnitus treatment towards improved therapeutic outcomes. Patients with subjective idiopathic tinnitus are assigned to either a genetically-informed CBT or TRT intervention protocol based on the status of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the dopamine and serotonin pathways, namely COMT rs4680, HTR2A rs7997012, HTR2A rs6311, and TPH2 rs4570625, that have been associated with behavioral or cognitive responses (Group A), or to a conventional approach (Group B) in which the choice of treatment was not directed by genotypic data. Tinnitus Handicap Index (THI) scores of perceived tinnitus severity are recorded at the initial and at the fourth session of treatment using appropriate questionnaires.
