Official title
Longitudinal Functional MRI Study of Transcranial Electrical Stimulation in Chronic Tinnitus
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this research is to understand how a neuromodulation technique, transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), affects brain function in adults with chronic tinnitus measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We hypothesize that multiple sessions of tES (5 consecutive days) will modulate: 1. Overall activity and local connectivity within brain regions near tES electrodes, and 2. Functional connectivity within brain networks associated with brain regions near tES electrodes. In exploratory analyses, we also measure the extent to which the hypothesized changes listed above a related to changes in tinnitus symptoms after tES.
