Comparing migraine prevention options for tinnitus relief
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether two types of migraine prevention medicines—standard preventive therapies versus newer anti-CGRP treatments—can help reduce tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears) in people who also have migraines. If you have both conditions, this trial may help find a treatment that eases your ear symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
