Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for chronic tinnitus
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests if navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help reduce chronic tinnitus symptoms. It aims to find a safe and effective treatment option for people with persistent ringing in the ears.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are not pregnant.
- You have no metal implants, cardiac pacemaker, or other implanted devices that are not safe for MRI.

This study tests whether repeated magnetic pulses (TMS) can help people with ongoing tinnitus. If you have had tinnitus for at least 3 months and it bothers you enough to score 38 or more on the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), you may be eligible.
This trial combines sound therapy with electrical stimulation and auditory training to reduce chronic tonal tinnitus. It may help if you have had constant ringing in your ears for more than 3 months but less than 5 years.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people with tinnitus. Volunteers will receive either real or fake stimulation to see if it reduces tinnitus symptoms.
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.
This study tests whether a tailored form of brain stimulation called rTMS can help reduce migraine days. It may be an option for people with frequent migraines who have not changed their preventive medications recently.
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help children with autism or ADHD. The goal is to find out if this treatment can improve symptoms and is safe for this age group.
