Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators combined transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to increase the effective response of a single session of neuromodulation in subjective tinnitus.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To treat motor and psychiatric disorders, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are world-widely in use in clinics. The investigators combined these two types of neuromodulation techniques to increase the effective response of a single session of neuromodulation in subjective tinnitus. Experimental groups with 80 tinnitus subjects consisted of four different treatment groups which are tDCS, tDCS with sham TMS, tDCS-TMS and TMS group. Subjects were given 1.5milliampere (mA) tDCS on the bi-frontal area and TMS stimulated contralateral single side of the temporoparietal cortex with 200 pulses at 1herz (Hz) stimulation.
