Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for the Treatment of Tinnitus

[Tinnitus Talk]

Tinnitus Talk submitted a new resource:

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for the Treatment of Tinnitus (version 1.0) - To determine if repeated sessions of tDCS are effective for treating chronic subjective tinnitus.

The purpose of this study is to determine if repeated sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are effective for treating chronic subjective tinnitus. Previous studies have reported brief improvements in tinnitus after safe and noninvasive stimulation of the auditory cortex or limbic system. The investigators hypothesize that a greater improvement in tinnitus will be achieved following repeated sessions of tDCS that target both auditory and limbic systems.
