Official title
A Comparison of CBT and CET Interventions for Veterans With Tinnitus
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Tinnitus (i.e., ringing in the ears) is currently the most prevalent disability among Veterans. A range of clinical interventions has been created to systematically address the range of issues caused by tinnitus. While numerous interventions purport to promote coping strategies for tinnitus-related problems, few studies directly target and measure coping outcomes. The present pilot study proposes a comparison of coping outcomes after 3 psycho-educational groups: a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention, a Coping Effectiveness Training (CET) intervention, or an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention among Veterans with tinnitus. These groups will be compared to a usual care group among Veterans and civilians with tinnitus. The proposed study will be the first application of CET to tinnitus. The primary goals of this study are to develop a CET protocol for tinnitus and to evaluate the effectiveness of CBT, CET, and ACT interventions to a usual care group. The long-term goal of this study is to improve the quality of life among individuals with tinnitus.
