Brief Summary

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

Tinnitus is a widespread problem that affects the quality of life of millions globally.

Few treatments have been found to be effective for subjective tinnitus and to have a significant improvement on quality of life. In subjective tinnitus, neither an external nor endogenous sound source is present; instead, the tinnitus is caused by abnormal bioelectric, biomechanical, or biochemical activity in the inner ear and/or central nervous system.

The precise role of the numerous extra-auditory structures that contribute to the pathophysiology of tinnitus is difficult to establish. Some of them participate in the creation or in the chronification of tinnitus and some in the psychological reactions to the tinnitus.

Audistim contains ingredients with a specific composition based upon the multifactorial causal theory; which involves auditory, attentional, memory, and emotional systems. These different systems are being targeted by the ingredients and their specific proportioning. Also the antioxidant theory is involved in the creation of Audistim, it states that the reactive oxygen species play an important microcirculatory role in the pathology of the inner ear and the peripheral and central pathways. These components help to treat the multitude of causing factors and in that way improve the quality of life.

Detailed Description

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

Participants are allocated in test (dietary supplement) or placebo group according a ratio 1:1.

The participants are asked to consume daily the investigational product for 3 months. The effect of the dietary supplement is assessed by comparing chronic tinnitus evolvement between groups.
