Brain connection study of tinnitus treatment with Chinese medicine
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a traditional Chinese medicine treatment called 'Dao qi Tong Luo' for chronic tinnitus. It uses a safe brain scan (fNIRS) to see how the treatment affects brain connections related to hearing.

This study is testing whether acupuncture can help treat tinnitus by using a special brain imaging technique (fNIRS) to see how the brain responds. It may help find out who benefits most from acupuncture.
This study tests whether acupuncture (thin needles inserted at specific points) can reduce tinnitus symptoms compared to a placebo acupuncture (sham) treatment. It aims to see if real acupuncture provides more relief for people with long-term tinnitus.
This study uses brain imaging (fMRI) and blood tests to understand why some people with sudden hearing loss develop tinnitus (ringing in the ears) while others do not. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or treat tinnitus.
This study tests whether acupuncture can help reduce the ringing or buzzing in your ears (called tinnitus). Researchers will also measure how your brain responds to sound to see if acupuncture affects that.
This early study uses an MRI/brain scan to see how IV lidocaine affects brain activity in people with tinnitus, and also compares it with people without tinnitus or with different hearing patterns. It may help researchers understand whether lidocaine could change tinnitus signals in the brain.
This study looks at how tinnitus affects the brain, thinking, and emotional well-being. It compares people with chronic tinnitus to people without tinnitus (including a group related to a specific type of epilepsy surgery).
