Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for the Treatment of Chronic Tinnitus: A Randomized Controlled Study

摘要

Background: Tinnitus is an often disabling condition for which there is no effective therapy. Current research suggests that tinnitus may develop due to maladaptive plastic changes and altered activity in the auditory and prefrontal cortex. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) modulates brain activity and has been shown to transiently suppress tinnitus in trials.
