Active clinical trials for "Tinnitus"

The specific aim of the Gabapentin for the Relief of Idiopathic Subjective Tinnitus Trial is to assess the therapeutic benefit of Gabapentin (Neurontin®) for subjective idiopathic troublesome tinnitus. We employed a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial design to assess the efficacy of Gabapentin. Adults, between the ages of 18 and 70 with idiopathic, subjective, troublesome, unilateral or bilateral, non-pulsatile tinnitus of 6 month's duration or greater and score of 38 or greater on the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory were enrolled.

The aim of this exploratory study is to evaluate the use and effectiveness of sound therapy for tinnitus relief in cochlear implant users with tinnitus. The sound therapy is a combination of tinnitus counselling and sound enrichment with the Cochlear Active Relief from Tinnitus (CART) firmware.

The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the effectiveness of the Erchonia® THL™, manufactured by Erchonia Corporation (the Company), for prescription home use in providing relief of tinnitus symptoms when used by individuals in their own homes.

This study is to see if applying red low-level laser light can help to reduce tinnitus symptoms

To evaluate the effectiveness of the Inhibitor™ Tinnitus Masking Device. To determine if there is a higher incident of expression of the sodium channel, voltage gated, type IX alpha subunit (SCN9) gene in those subjects with disturbing tinnitus than subjects that are not disturbed by tinnitus.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term safety and tolerability and efficacy of neramexane mesylate in the long-term treatment of subjective tinnitus after a completed double-blind randomized placebo controlled study

The purpose of this study is to determine if low level laser light therapy might help to relieve tinnitus in adults.

A study on the effects of the FDA approved drug Modafinil upon attention problems associated with tinnitus. This is considered to be a safe drug with few side effects. Each subject will be asked to participate in 3 sessions each lasting approximately 1 hour in which cognitive testing and recordings will be taken. The study involves each subject taking a 2- week supply of Modafinil and a 2- week supply of placebo. We hypothesize inattention related to thalamocortical dysrhythmia found in tinnitus can be reduced by Modafinil thus improving vigilance.

In the first visit a magnetic resonance imaging measurement will be done for the use of a neuronavigation System with the aim to control for stable coil position over the course of the trial. EEG positions CP5/CP6 will be used for positioning the coil. Two test sessions will examine the temporary reductions in tinnitus loudness after 1Hz, 10Hz, 20Hz and 0.1Hz rTMS as control condition over left and right temporo-parietal junction accompanied by electroencephalography. For the two-week treatment three arms will be evaluated: standard treatment (1Hz left-sided) in the groups with and without temporary reductions in test sessions and the best protocol as elicited in test sessions.

This research study involves an experimental drug (NST_001) and a delivery system. The main purpose of this research study is to investigate the safety of NST-001, delivered directly to the inner ear for the treatment of tinnitus.
