简要总结

This is a three arm, patient subtyping and parameter optimisation study for a neuromodulation treatment for tinnitus.

详细描述

Participants with chronic tinnitus will be provided with a CE marked neuromodulation device. Devices will be programmed with one of 3 stimulation parameter settings. After 12 weeks of use, differences in tinnitus severity scores will be compared between the 3 arms and within the arms for patient subtype analysis.
