Filter by:By comparing the clinical manifestations, ABR parameters and cerebral cortex blood oxygen levels of chronic tinnitus patients and healthy subjects under two different body states, the peripheral-central correlation of chronic tinnitus patients was explored, and the modern scientific significance of the theory of "two ears connecting the brain" was initially expounded. On this basis, the immediate and cumulative effects and peripheral-central correlation of "dao qi tong luo" intervention in chronic tinnitus were observed, and the effective mechanism of "dao qi tong luo" treatment was explored.
Among the theories of tinnitus generation, there is that of central neuroplastic changes, which reports the association between changes and reorganization that occur in central auditory pathways and impacts on associated areas due to the altered neural signal. Auditory training modifies these altered pathways through auditory exercises, which provoke positive neuroplasticity. Musical auditory training is a proposal to stimulate auditory, cognitive and metalinguistic skills with activities focused on musicality. Therefore, the objective of this study is to verify the effect of musical auditory training (MAT) on the neuroplasticity of the auditory system and the perception of tinnitus disorder in young adults.
This trial aims to use machine learning to analyze fNIRS imaging data of specific brain regions of tinnitus patients, thereby constructing a predictive model of the clinical efficacy of acupuncture for SNT.
Psychiatric distress caused by PTSD may increase attention toward tinnitus, as well as perceived loudness and discomfort. It is important to understand how tinnitus-related distress and PTSD negatively interact together, in order to develop more effective therapeutic approaches. Understanding symptoms and neurobiological mechanisms using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), can lead to the necessary knowledge to develop effective interventions for individuals who suffer from both conditions.
This clinical study is prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trail, which entitled transcranial electrical stimulation for the treatment of acute tinnitus approved by Sun Yat-sen University, and intends to recruit 86 patients with sudden deafness and tinnitus. For acute subjective tinnitus, a common otological disease, the study gave the experimental group patients received tDCS with electrodes positioned over the left temporal cortex for 5 days. To assess the efficacy of conventional medical therapy and tDCS by comparing changes in anterior and posterior tinnitus-related subjective scale scores, such as THI, VAS, BAI, BDI, PSQI, and hearing recovery, in patients who received tDCS, to determine whether tDCS is effective in improving acute tinnitus, and whether it is superior to conventional tinnitus treatment. In addition, the study will continue to follow patients for 1 month,3 months, and 6 months after the end of treatment to observe the long-term sustained efficacy of tDCS. This clinical trail will also evaluate tDCS from the perspective of compliance and safety, and explore the factors affecting the efficacy of this therapy.
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.
About 5-15% of the general population experience a chronic ringing, buzzing, hissing or roaring sound in one or two ears, without any external source. This so-called tinnitus can be present in people with normal hearing, but often coexists with hearing loss. Most people suffering from tinnitus can cope with it, however a minority experiences emotional distress or cognitive dysfunction as a result of the tinnitus, called tinnitus disorder. People suffering from tinnitus disorder regularly complain about an increased experienced effort when listening to speech or other sounds in daily life situations. As this has never been proven scientifically, the investigators aim to evaluate the effect of the tinnitus percept and tinnitus disorder on experienced listening effort by comparing listening effort between a population with tinnitus disorder and a population without tinnitus.
The goal of this clinical trial is to search for biomarkers in tinnitus patients in tinnitus patients and changes in biomarkers before and after treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the biomarkers of tinnitus patients？ - How do these biomarkers change during treatment and is there a good correlation with behavioral outcomes? Participants will be asked to complete audiological examination, tinnitus assessment, and magnetoencephalography examination, and they will receive sound therapy or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy.
Venous tinnitus (VT) is seriously affecting the quality of life of five million patients in China. Bony wall reconstruction is the main treatment method, but the postoperative recurrence rate exceeds 30%, and the specific mechanism is unclear. Based on our previous work, a scientific hypothesis was put forward: the key to the recurrence of V T is pathologic remodeling of the peri-sinus bony wall mediated by the venous sinus morphology, blood flow, and pressure after surgical reconstruction. As a continuation of the National Natural Science Foundation of China-Youth Project, this project intends to combine multimodal imaging technology, multiphysics coupled numerical model and machine learning method to analyze analyze the data after bone wall reconstruction in multiple dimensions: ① To explore the influence of peri-sinus bony wall morphology, venous sinus morphology, intra-sinus blood flow, intra-sinus pressure, and cerebral perfusion on the recurrence of VT using ultra-high resolution CT, vessel wall MR, 4D Flow MR and ASL MR imaging technology; ② To explore the influence of blood flow impact, sinus wall pressure and peri-sinus bone wall deformation on the recurrence of VT using multiphysics coupling numerical model with vessel, blood flow, bone and acoustic fields; ③ To determine the risk factors and their weights of VT recurrence using machine learning methods, and to establish a personalized surgical planning and prognostic evaluation models; Thus, to verify the hemodynamic and biomechanical mechanisms of VPT recurrence to achieve personalized and effectively treatment. This project may prevent and warn the recurrence of VPT after bony wall reconstruction.
The main objective of our study is to evaluate the effect of combinated antioxidants therapy with Adepsique® (amitriptyline, perphenazine, and diazepam) on patients with tinnitus chronic symptoms, evaluating the levels of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress in blood. The researchers intend to include 58 patients, divided into two intervention groups, who will be randomly assigned a pill with antioxidants or placebo, and the patient must eat one pill per day for 3 months. In the study, the clinical characteristics of tinnitus, inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers will be evaluated, before, during and after the intervention with antioxidant therapy. Subsequently, the clinical and sample results will be evaluated to compare the effects between them.
