Filter by:Self paring study, double blind placebo controlled with chronic tinnitus patients attended at the Tinnitus Research Group HC- FMUSP, complaining of neck and/or cervical pain and with myofascial trigger point in the head, neck and/or shoulder. They were submitted to a complete otolaryngologist evaluation which included history, physical examination and myofascial trigger point checkup. Patients also performed blood tests, tonal and vocal audiometry, and psychoacoustic tinnitus measures. Self paring study, double blind placebo controlled. Each patient will be subjected to the dry needling placebo, 4 sessions, 1 per week, with placebo stretching, followed by washout period of two weeks, and 4 more dry needling therapeutic sessions and active stretching. On the first day of the study will be conducted the following evaluation: questionnaires THI and NDI, quantification of cervical pain and tinnitus through the Visual analogue scale (VAS), search and confirmation of the presence of PGM and cervical pain, psychoacoustic measures and somatic tests. This evaluation will be repeated at the end of the four placebo sessions, at the beginning of therapeutic needling sessions and at the end of the same.
Importance; Tinnitus is a heterogeneous diagnosis that may occur alone, in the presence of hearing loss or as a component of other disorders and can be quite disabling. Intratympanic injections of medications recently proved to have role in management of tinnitus. The investigators report on our experience with the use of intratympanic injection of Lidocaine as local anesthetic which potentiate the action of dexthamesasone in treatment of tinnitus without adding potential risks of inner ear Objective; to describe the effect of Lidocaine as local anesthetic may potentiate the action of dexthamesasone intratympanic injection in treatment of tinnitus without adding potential risks of inner ear Design, Setting, participants ; For this single tertiary center( Tanta University Hospital ) prospective case series, the investigators included 44 patients divided into two groups (A and B) 22 patients in each group suffering from tinnitus between March 2015 and October 2015 Intervention; Under local anesthesia 22 patients were subjected to intratympanic injection with combined Lidocaine 2% and dexamethasone with ratio (1:1), in the group A, and 22 patients in the other group B were subjected to intratympanic injection with dexamethasone only , this process was repeated 3 times for 3 successive weeks. Main Outcome and Measures; the primary outcome is self-reported significant improve in tinnitus in group A more in group B without adding significant damage of inner ear
Tinnitus may be considered as a form of phantom auditory sensation and as such parallels may be drawn with other forms of phantom sensation, such as the sensation of pain in an amputated limb (phantom limb pain). There has been recent interest in the use of eye movement therapies to treat patients with phantom sensations such as these. The role of eye movements in the propagation and maintenance of tinnitus has also been well established. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an established form of eye movement therapy called Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). This research is important as EMDR has produced encouraging results for other forms of phantom sensation and current models of tinnitus fit well with the proposed mode of action of EMDR. Tinnitus is very prevalent in our population and is often associated with significant discomfort; however, there is a severe lack of effective treatments based on well designed clinical trials. The investigator wishes to assess the usefulness of EMDR against the current treatment that is available in many institutions including the Investigator's own. The Investigator intends to recruit 15-30 patients initially to run a pilot study, before embarking on a larger scale study. The Investigator hopes that this pilot study will run over the course of a year. If this study demonstrates a significant improvement in tinnitus in patient undergoing EMDR, this will be an important step forward not only for treating patients with this disorder, but also for understanding the pathways that initiate, propagate and maintain tinnitus perception.
TMD treatment, based on state of the art knowledge derived from clinical studies will be applied in patients with tinnitus and TMD. When this approach proves to be useful for the treatment of tinnitus, it offers a new therapeutic option for patients with tinnitus. To understand how TMD treatment works for patients with tinnitus, we will analyse mediating factors, i.e. factors that contribute to the therapeutic effect. To help clinicians in their clinical process we will identify prognostic indicators, i.e. factors that predict a positive or negative outcome of TMD treatment. This can provide a helpful tool in clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to accelerate learning and improve memory performance in VNS implanted tinnitus participants by pairing VNS with a verbal paired-associate learning task.
This study investigates the effect of cervical physical therapy on tinnitus annoyance in patients with somatic tinnitus. This study specifically enrolls patients with co-varying tinnitus and neck complaints, with low-pitched tinnitus or patients who's tinnitus can be influenced by neck movements or positions. These inclusion criteria were chosen, since a prior study showed that these factors were good prognostic indicators for a positive treatment effect.
A prospective, randomized, controlled, clinical trial with blind evaluator that uses TRT and EMDR as a treatment for tinnitus.
To investigate the effects of huperzine A on tinnitus suppression, hearing and cognitive function protection in patients with presbycusis-related subjective tinnitus and cognitive impairment.
participants will be randomized into one of three groups: 3-session CET intervention, 3-session ACT intervention, or Waiting List group. Each weekly session will last up to 2 hours and 10 participants will be assigned to each group. There will be two cohorts, with 30 participants in each cohort. The Waiting List group will receive the CET intervention after the groups have completed theirs.
Relating the electroencephalogram findings of patients with tinnitus before and after a therapeutic modality is still scarce in the literature, especially with neuromodulatory methods, more specifically with Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation - tDCS. This study is a double blind, sham-controlled clinical trial aiming investigate the impact of tDCS on patterns of brain electrical activity in patients with chronic tinnitus. 36 volunteers with tinnitus will be allocated randomly in 2 groups: the first (n = 18) will receive anodic tDCS in the temporoparietal left area and cathode in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the second group (n = 18) correspond to the sham group. In addition, healthy individuals (n = 18) will be recruited for comparative purposes of brain electrical activity with and without tinnitus, totaling 54 participants. Patients with tinnitus will receive transcranial direct current stimulation for 20 minutes for 5 consecutive days (1 week) and will be assessed before and after intervention by electroencephalogram, Acuphenometry, Visual Analogue Scale - VAS and questionnaire Tinnitus Handicap Inventory- THI. Follow-up of volunteers will also be performed after 1 month of the end of treatment with tDCS.
