Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare the effects of two techniques of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) to treat chronic tinnitus; continuous Theta Burst Stimulation (cTBS) and high-frequency rTMS. In a controlled randomized clinical trial, 55 patients with chronic tinnitus were randomly divided in two groups. They received four sessions of treatment. cTBS was tested on one group and high-frequency rTMS (10 Hz) was tested on the other. Severity of the tinnitus was assessed before treatment, after the last treatment session and then 1-month later. Both the treatments of high-frequency and cTBS had a suppressive effect on tinnitus. However, cTBS was more effective than high-frequency rTMS (P = 0.001). This study suggests that rTMS even in four sessions is effective in reducing tinnitus severity; moreover, compared to high-frequency TMS better results can be achieved with cTBS.
