Combined Auditory-Somatosensory Stimulation to Alleviate Tinnitus
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Sham Treatment: unimodal auditory stimulation and Active Treatment: Bimodal auditory-somatosensory stimulation for Tinnitus. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to develop and test a subject operated device to lessen tinnitus (ringing in the ear), based on subject-feedback for stimulus presentation.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
All subjects will be told they will receive either Sham or Active Treatment, but will not know which treatment is assigned. Set up for the sham treatment is the same as the active treatment.
Somatosensory stimulation will be delivered by pads positioned on the cheek overlying the trigeminal ganglion, the juncture of the temporomandibular joint or on the neck at overlying cervical nerves, c1 or c2, determined by the manner in which the subject can modulate the tinnitus. The auditory stimulus will be individualized based on subject baseline audiogram and tinnitus test results and is presented through a calibrated earphone.
