Summary

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is used to modulate both the auditory and non-auditory neural pathways contributing to the perception of phantom sounds.

Conditions

  • Chronic Tinnitus

Interventions

DEVICE

rTMS intervention 1

Low frequency rTMS (Magventure Mag Pro Option) applied over left temporoparietal cortex: 3000 stimuli of 1Hz rTMS (110% motor threshold); 1 minute break after 1000 and 2000 stimuli. Arms: single site rTMS

DEVICE

rTMS intervention 2

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (Magventure Mag Pro Option): 1000 stimuli of 20 Hz rTMS over the left DLPFC (110% motor threshold) followed by 1000 stimuli of 1 Hz rTMS over the left temporoparietal cortex (110% motor threshold) followed by 1000 stimuli of 1 Hz rTMS over right temporoparietal cortex (110% motor threshold). Arms: multisite rTMS
