About

In this experiment, patients with chronic pure tone tinnitus were divided into three groups to receive auditory stimulation, somatosensory stimulation, vestibular stimulation and combined stimulation, in order to find an effective way to treat tinnitus

Full description

120 patients with chronic pure tone tinnitus over 6 months were randomly divided into 6 groups, one group was given auditory stimulation, one group was given somatosensory stimulation, one group was given auditory stimulation + somatosensory stimulation, one group was given auditory stimulation + vestibular stimulation, the last group was given auditory stimulation + somatosensory stimulation + vestibular stimulation.

Enrollment: 120 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20 to 80 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

120 participants in 6 patient groups

acoustic stimulation

Experimental group

Description:

Pink noise in both ears is given to tinnitus patients. The pink noise is removed by notch filter from tinnitus frequencies that are 20 decibel higher than the threshold.

Treatment:

Device: multiple sensory stimulation

somatic stimulation

Experimental group

Description:

Three stimulation points were selected for each ear of tinnitus patients, namely ear door (CN.V), auditory Palace (CN.VII) and Yifeng (C2/3). The stimulation intensity should be needle-sensed.

Treatment:

Device: multiple sensory stimulation

vestibular stimulation

Experimental group

Description:

The patient sat on a rotating chair with sinusoidal harmonic acceleration and rotated without causing the greatest frequency of discomfort.

Treatment:

Device: multiple sensory stimulation

acoustic + somatic stimulation

Experimental group

Description:

Combination of auditory and somatic stimulation for tinnitus patients

Treatment:

Device: multiple sensory stimulation

acoustic + vestibular stimulation

Experimental group

Description:

Combination of auditory and vestibular stimulation for tinnitus patients

Treatment:

Device: multiple sensory stimulation

acoustic + somatic + vestibular stimulation

Experimental group

Description:

Combination of auditory stimulation, somatic stimulation and vestibular stimulation for tinnitus patients
