Influence of Treatment Duration and Stimulation Frequency on rTMS in Chronic Tinnitus
Chronic TinnitusPatients receive two weeks of treatment (prefrontal high-frequency and bilateral low-frequency rTMS vs. prefrontal high-frequency and bilateral high-frequency rTMS). After two weeks of treatment they can decide if they want to quit the treatment or if they want to proceed with the treatment for another two weeks.
Internet-based Versus Face-to-face Clinical Care for Tinnitus
TinnitusThe purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a CBT-based internet intervention with face to face standard clinical care for adults with tinnitus in the United Kingdom.

Internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Spanish Tinnitus Sufferers
TinnitusNearly 50 million people in the U.S. experience tinnitus, of which about 20 million people have burdensome chronic tinnitus. Tinnitus can be very debilitating as many aspects of daily life can be affected, such as sleep, mood, and concentration. Currently, there is no cure for tinnitus. Pharmacological or sound-therapy based interventions are sometimes provided but may be of limited value to certain individuals. Research suggests that Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) based approaches have the most evidence of effectiveness in the management of tinnitus. However, CBT is rarely offered to tinnitus sufferers in the U.S. (less than 1%), partly because of lack of trained professionals who can deliver CBT. To improve access to CBT for tinnitus, an online CBT program has been developed which is also available in Spanish. However, the outcomes of the Spanish version of the program has not been evaluated. The purpose of the current study is to determine the feasibility of guided Spanish version of the Internet-based CBT (ICBT) using audiological support on tinnitus distress and tinnitus-related comorbidities.
HD-tDCS as a Treatment for Chronic Tinnitus
TinnitusSubjectiveTranscranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) aims to induce cortical plasticity by modulating the activity of brain structures. The broad stimulation pattern, which is one of the main limitations of tDCS, can be overcome with the recently developed technique called High-Definition tDCS (HD-TDCS). The objective of the current study is to investigate the effect of HD-tDCS on tinnitus in a large patient cohort.

Effectiveness Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in Patients With Chronic Tinnitus...
TinnitusTranscranial Magnetic Stimulation is used to modulate the auditory neural pathways caused by hearing loss and leading to the phantom auditory perception of sound in the absence of an external or internal acoustic stimulus.
Effect of rTMS on Resting State Brain Activity in Tinnitus
TinnitusOne out of every five people experiences tinnitus (a ringing, buzzing, or roaring sound in the ear) ranging from mild to severe impairment. To date, there are no effective therapies available that have been shown to decrease tinnitus awareness. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a treatment option for tinnitus that uses a technique called Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), which could prove to be an effective means of alleviating or reducing the symptoms of tinnitus.
