No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is used to modulate the auditory neural pathways caused by hearing loss and leading to the phantom auditory perception of sound in the absence of an external or internal acoustic stimulus.

Conditions

  • Tinnitus

Interventions

DEVICE

Combined frontal and temporal rTMS

Experimental repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (Alpine Biomed Mag Pro Option): 1000 stimuli of 1Hz rTMS over the right DLPFC (110% motor threshold) followed by 1000 stimuli of 1 Hz rTMS over the left temporal cortex DLPFC (110% motor threshold)

DEVICE

Temporal low frequency rTMS

Experimental repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (Alpine Biomed Mag Pro Option): 2000 stimuli of 1 Hz rTMS over the left temporal cortex (110% motor threshold)
