Personalized brain stimulation for chronic tinnitus
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called personalized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see if it can reduce the loudness or annoyance of chronic tinnitus. Participation involves daily sessions for 5 days at the hospital.
