Summary

The investigators applied home-based transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) for neuromodulative treatment in patients with intractable chronic tinnitus.

Conditions

  • Tinnitus
  • Depression
  • Depressive Disorder
  • Hearing Disorders
  • Otorhinolaryngologic Diseases

Interventions

DEVICE

transcranial electrical stimulation (TES)

Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that passes an electrical current through the cortex of the brain to alter brain function. The electrical current is applied to an individual's scalp usually via two or more electrodes, and whilst a large amount of the current is conducted between electrodes through soft tissue and skull (Vöröslakos et al. 2018), a portion of the current penetrates the scalp and is conducted through the brain, where it can alter neuronal excitability. By altering the activity of brain regions involved with a behaviour of interest, investigators can observe the resulting behavioral changes and so establish a causal link between the two (Reed et al. 2018).
