The Efficacy of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Patients With Chronic Subjective Tinnitus
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of frequency-specific patterned repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and 1Hz rTMS for the treatment of chronic subjective tinnitus. In this single-blind randomized controlled study, patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive two different types of rTMS stimulation.

Treatments
Experimental: frequency-specific patterned rTMS
Patients will receive a 5-day, once-daily frequency-specific patterned rTMS treatment via a circular coil applied to the auditory cortex. Each session will last 40 minutes and will be stimulated at an intensity of 80% resting motor threshold (RMT).
Active_comparator: 1 Hz rTMS
Patients will receive a 5-day, once-daily 1Hz rTMS treatment via a circular coil applied to the auditory cortex. Each session will last 40 minutes and will be stimulated at an intensity of 80% resting motor threshold (RMT).
