Brief Summary:
Tinnitus ie the perception of sounds or noise in the absence of auditory stimuli is a frequent and often severely disabling symptom of different disorders of the auditory system There are currently no causal treatments Using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation rTMS we have previously demonstrated that the temporoparietal cortex is critically involved in tinnitus perception and that tinnitus can be reduced by rTMS applied to these cortical regions Therefore it is reasonable to test rTMS as a potential new treatment strategy against tinnitus At this stage small pilot studies indicate some effect on tinnitus impairment but the reduction is predominantly reported to be transient with high interindividual variability and questionable clinical relevance Moreover the optimal stimulation area is unclear
Here we use theta burst stimulation TBS a new rTMS paradigm for the prolonged modulation of cortical activity The aim of this study is to test safety and effectivity of 4 weeks of daily bilateral TBS to two cortical areas on chronic tinnitus compared to sham-stimulation
