- NCT07211711Recruiting
Splint therapy for tinnitus linked to jaw joint issues
This trial tests if a custom mouthpiece (occlusal splint) can relieve ringing in the ears (tinnitus) that started along with jaw or face pain (TMD). It aims to see if stabilizing the jaw helps reduce both the noise in your ears and the discomfort.

This trial tests whether a virtual reality mindfulness app can help children aged 10–18 with severe tinnitus or misophonia feel better mentally. It compares the mindfulness app to a placebo (sham) version.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 10–18 - NCT07183826Recruiting
Online mindfulness therapy for chronic tinnitus
This trial tests an online mindfulness program (iMBCT) to help people with chronic tinnitus manage their symptoms. If you have had tinnitus for at least 3 months and it bothers you, you may be able to join from home.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT07185061Recruiting
Sound treatment for chronic tinnitus

Stent implant for severe heartbeat-synchronized ear ringing
This trial tests whether placing a small mesh tube (stent) in a narrowed brain vein can stop severe, pulse-synchronous tinnitus—a whooshing sound that matches your heartbeat. It is for people whose tinnitus is very bothersome and has not improved with other treatments.
Ottawa, CanadaAges 18–80 - NCT06880367Recruiting

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07515781Recruiting
VivaStent for Pulsatile Tinnitus Caused by Vein Narrowing
This study tests a stent (a small metal tube) placed in a narrowed vein in the brain to treat pulsatile tinnitus—a rhythmic ringing or whooshing sound in one ear that matches your heartbeat. The stent may improve blood flow and reduce or stop the sound.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06726928Recruiting
Stent for pulsatile tinnitus from narrowed head vein
This trial tests a special stent (a small mesh tube) placed in a narrowed vein in the head to stop a bothersome whooshing sound in the ear (pulsatile tinnitus) that hasn't gone away.
