Prevalence of chronic subjective tinnitus is rising with age and associated with maladaptive oscillatory changes in auditory as well as non-auditory regions of the brain such as the insula and the anterior cingulate cortex which are known to be key points within the salience and distress networks of the brain.Thus, we are conducting a clinical trial by implementing those auditory as well as non-auditory regions into a tomographical neurofeedback Training (ToNF) -protocol. Prior to 12 electroencephalography (EEG) -based ToNF-trainings with 36 older participants using standardized Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography Software (sLORETA, Pascual-Marqui 2002), participants' brains will be measured using structural magnet resonance imaging (sMRI) in order to identify potential structural markers for training success (e.g. cortical thickness). Training success will be measured by oscillatory change via EEG before and after the training period as well as by means of follow-up measures. Furthermore, a comprehensive battery of behavioral and psychometric standardized self-report questionnaires will be applied. Based on this multifocal (Insula, dorsal anterior cingulate cortex & auditory cortex) ToNF we expect oscillatory changes resulting in decreased tinnitus symptoms such as perceived loudness and distress.
There is no specific treatment that can cure somatosensory tinnitus and usually conservative physical therapy modalities are used in the literature. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of kinesio taping applied to sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezium and levator scapulae muscles on the somatosensory tinnitus associated with neck complaints.
This study evaluates the treatment efficacy of tinnitus in people with mild hearing loss. One-third of participants will use hearing aid, one-third of participants will use customized music, while the other one-third participants will receive no treatment (waiting list control).
The purpose of this mixed methods correlational study is to investigate the effects of meditation on the level of bother in tinnitus patients in the United States. The researchers seek to understand the changes in bother as compared to the amount of time spent meditating. Data is obtained through the Insight Timer mediation application. Outcome measures will include several validated and reliable measures.
People with tinnitus will use a smartpphone app in which they are instructed to reject maladaptive thoughts by throwing them away from themselves (upwards) and embrace supportive thoughts by pulling them towards themselves (downwards). The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory will be used to measure the effect of the application.
To evaluate the effect of psychological/mental factors on the severity of subjective tinnitus, to observe the efficacy and safety of Wuling capsule in the treatment of chronic subjective tinnitus with emotional disorders, and to evaluate the control rate of tinnitus complications, such as depression, anxiety and insomnia, and the improvement of patients'quality of life.
Tinnitus is defined as a perception of sound without any external sound source. Chronic tinnitus is a frequent condition that can affect the quality of life. The questionnaire "Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI)" promises to be the new gold standard in tinnitus evaluation. Due to the forward and backward translation of this questionnaire, there are two different German versions of TFI for Switzerland and Germany. Both German versions were validated. The aim of this study is to compare the two German versions of the TFI with each other and to recommend the better one for the further use in tinnitus evaluation for the German speaking population.
The purpose of this research is to understand how a neuromodulation technique, transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), affects brain function in adults with chronic tinnitus measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We hypothesize that multiple sessions of tES (5 consecutive days) will modulate: 1. Overall activity and local connectivity within brain regions near tES electrodes, and 2. Functional connectivity within brain networks associated with brain regions near tES electrodes. In exploratory analyses, we also measure the extent to which the hypothesized changes listed above a related to changes in tinnitus symptoms after tES.
Therapy of subjective chronic primary tinnitus could be challenging. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is currently being tested for suppressing the symptoms. However, effect of stimulation remains controversial. The aim was to uncover real effect of rTMS stimulation for tinnitus treatment. There will be three groups, stimulation group, sham stimulation group and controlled group with medicament treatment. The investigators assume that combination of rTMS stimulation of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and primary auditory cortex at both sides will be more efficient. The investigators considered a 10% improvement in the tinnitus questionnaire score and in the tinnitus masking to be clinically relevant.
