Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether physiotherapy is effective in the treatment of a group of tinnitus patients with neck complaints.
This study will test the safety and effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for patients with a big or very big problem with tinnitus (a sensation of noise in the head).
The hypothesis of the study is that the use of Cannabis will attenuate the tinnitus level as experienced by the patients.
Stimulation of the left and right auditory cortex with daily transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) is used to modulate the neural pathways involved in chronic tinnitus.
Assess the safety and efficacy of VNS paired with tones for tinnitus using a randomized, controlled, parallel study design.
This study aimed at trying transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation as potential treatments to decrease tinnitus in patients with significant hearing loss.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and local tolerance of repeated treatment cycles of AM-101.
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of corresponding external sound. Tinnitus affects approximately 10-15 % of the population. The prevalence increases with age and it is estimated that more than 20 % of the older people have tinnitus. Approximately 10-15 % of tinnitus patients have clinically relevant, disabling tinnitus causing for example anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances. The treatment of chronic tinnitus is difficult and most therapies focus on alleviating the condition rather than treating the cause. Pathophysiology of tinnitus still remains incompletely understood. Functional brain imaging data in tinnitus patients and animal models suggest that tinnitus is associated with increased neuronal activity, increased synchronicity, and functional reorganization within the auditory cortex either uni- or bilaterally, but there are also functional alterations in brain areas outside the auditory system. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a neuromodulation technique based on the principle of electromagnetic induction of an electric field in the brain by means of magnetic pulses given to the scalp. TMS is a non-invasive, painless, and safe method for modulation of cortical activity. TMS pulses given at low frequencies (≤ 1 Hz) have been shown to decrease cortical excitability both in experimental settings and humans, which forms the basis for using low frequency rTMS to treat chronic tinnitus patients, in whom hyperactivity of the auditory cortex has been observed in functional brain imaging studies
Internet-based cognitive behavioural self-help (iCBT) has become increasingly popular to provide psychotherapy. For several psychological and psychosomatic disorders, treatment efficacy was shown. Previously, iCBT has also been applied to patients suffering from tinnitus and results show significant and long-term stable improvements in tinnitus distress. However, the role of therapeutic support in iCBT has not been thoroughly investigated. Previous results suggest that iCBT without therapeutic support is less effective and leads to higher dropout rates than therapist-guided iCBT. The aim of the randomized controlled trial is thus to investigate the role of therapeutic support in an iCBT for tinnitus sufferers.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in combination with relaxation therapy is used to modulate the neural pathways contributing to the perception and distress of phantom sounds.
