Tinnitus Talk submitted a new resource:

rTMS To The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex For Patients With Subjective Idiopathic Tinnitus (version 1.0) - An open-label pilot study investigating the effectiveness of rTMS stimulation.

The neurological basis of tinnitus is uncertain when there is no evidence of damage to the peripheral auditory system. However, neuroimaging studies of tinnitus patients show hyperactivity in several cortical regions, especially the auditory cortices and middle temporal regions. A potentially promising treatment modality for tinnitus is repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). rTMS involves the application of frequent, repeated magnetic stimuli to the skull to induce electrical...
