Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out the scientific and effectiveness of non-invasive neuromodulation therapy for subjective tinnitus and further guide the clinical response to tinnitus problems. This study collects the case data of subjective tinnitus patients who received non-invasive neuromodulation treatment for statistical analysis. The complete data included pure tone audiometry, tinnitus assessment, mood assessments, and sleep quality assessment. Paired T-tests are suppoesed to be conducted to analyze the clinical efficacy of non-invasive neuromodulation therapy for subjective tinnitus and its specific effect on improving mood and sleep.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to find out the scientific and effectiveness of non-invasive neuromodulation therapy for subjective tinnitus and further guide the clinical response to tinnitus problems. This study collects the case data of subjective tinnitus patients who received non-invasive neuromodulation treatment for statistical analysis. The complete data included pure tone audiometry, tinnitus assessment (tinnitus matching, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, Tinnitus Function Index, Visual analog Scales), mood assessments (Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale), and sleep quality assessment (Pittsburgh Sleep Index Scale). Paired T-tests are suppoesed to be conducted to analyze the clinical efficacy of non-invasive neuromodulation therapy for subjective tinnitus and its specific effect on improving mood and sleep.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
tinnitus loudness
Time Frame: 0-7 days pre-therapy, 0-7 days post-therapy
Taking 1dB as the step, parrticipants were asked to select the signal sound intensity consistent with their subjective tinnitus loudness, and the tinnitus loudness matching was completed after repeated testing. The difference between the matched intensity and the pure tone hearing threshold at this frequency was recorded as tinnitus loudness (dB SL).
tinnitus handicap inventory, THI
Time Frame: 0-7 days pre-therapy, 0-7 days post-therapy
THI is divided into three sub-scales, namely functional, emotional and catastrophic. THI contains a total of 25 items, and each item is scored 4, 2 and 0 points according to \"yes\", \"sometimes\" and \"no\" respectively. After each item score was completed, the THI total score, THI functional total score (THI-F), THI affective total score (THI-E), and THI catastrophic total score (THI-C) were calculated for the specific patient. The severity of tinnitus was evaluated according to the total score: 1-16 points, grade 1 (slight); 18-36 points, grade 2 (mild); 38-56pointks, grade 3 (moderate); 58-76 points, level 4 (severe); Score 78-100, level 5 (catastrophic).
tinnitus functional index, TFI
Time Frame: 0-7 days pre-therapy, 0-7 days post-therapy
The scale contains 8 subscales. They are denoted as TFI-I (Intrusiveness) and TFI-SC (Sense of) control), TFI-C (Cognition), TFI-S (Sleep), TFI-A (Auditory), TFI-R (Relaxation), TFI-Q (Quality of life), TFI-E (Emotional) distress); A total of 25 items are included. Each item is worth 100 points. The average score of all items is recorded as the total TFI score. The higher the score, the higher the pain and severity of the subject\'s tinnitus.
visual analogue scale, VAS
Time Frame: 0-7 days pre-therapy, 0-7 days post-therapy
VAS was used to evaluate the impact of tinnitus on the daily life of patients with chronic subjective tinnitus. Scale 0-10. A score of 0 means that tinnitus has no impact on daily life, and a score of 10 means that tinnitus has an intolerable, fatal level of impact on daily life. VAS was used to evaluate subjective tinnitus loudness, annoyance, depression, and tinnitus control difficulty.
Secondary Outcomes
- Pittsburgh sleep quality index, PSQI(0-7 days pre-therapy, 0-7 days post-therapy)
- Hamilton Anxiety Scale, HAMA(0-7 days pre-therapy, 0-7 days post-therapy)
- Hamilton depression scale, HAMD(0-7 days pre-therapy, 0-7 days post-therapy)
