No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Tinnitus is the awareness of sound or noise in the absence of acoustic stimulation. No definite therapeutic strategy of tinnitus has been developed yet. The current theory of tinnitus is the plasticity theory of neurophysiology model. Although acupuncture has its role in tinnitus treatment, its actual role still remains to be elucidated. Acupuncture has been proposed to induce the development of neuroplasticity. The aim of this project is to undergo a comprehensive investigation to the central auditory effect and the therapeutic effects of acupuncture in tinnitus. According the results of the preliminary studies, the objective auditory measurement and subjective tinnitus perception will be analyzed in tinnitus patients before and after acupuncture.
