简要总结
This study investigates the effect of cervical physical therapy on tinnitus annoyance in patients with somatic tinnitus. This study specifically enrolls patients with co-varying tinnitus and neck complaints, with low-pitched tinnitus or patients who's tinnitus can be influenced by neck movements or positions.
These inclusion criteria were chosen, since a prior study showed that these factors were good prognostic indicators for a positive treatment effect.
