Nicotine gum and brain responses in adults with chronic ringing in the ears
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests how nicotine from gum affects brain responses in adults with chronic tinnitus (ringing in the ears). It aims to understand whether nicotine changes hearing-related brain activity, which may help develop new treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether adding sound and/or mild electrical stimulation can reduce tinnitus (ringing or other noises in the ear). It is looking for adults who have had tinnitus for at least 6 months and can complete questionnaires about what they feel.
This study tests an investigational drug called TRTL-913 in healthy volunteers first, then in adults with constant ringing in the ears (tinnitus). The goal is to see if it is safe and if it reduces tinnitus symptoms.
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 non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people who smoke reduce cravings or change smoking behavior. You'll also have your brain activity recorded with a cap (EEG) and do some vaping tasks.
This study tests whether a beta-blocking medicine (propranolol) and nicotine patches change how strongly your brain responds to smoking cues. It may help researchers understand what drives cigarette cravings and how to reduce them.
This study tests whether a brain training technique called neurofeedback can help people with chronic tinnitus by teaching the brain to respond differently to the ringing sound. It involves regular visits to a clinic in Zurich and is conducted in German.
