“…Two studies aimed at determining the most efficacious stimulation protocol using LF-rTMS over the left auditory cortex. First, Lo et al (2014) compared the effect of 5 sessions based on 1000 vs. 2000 pulses/session in 28 tinnitus patients equally randomized. They did not find any difference 46 related to the number of pulses/session in the reduction of tinnitus assessed on the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) rating scale, up to 4 weeks after the intervention.…”

“…Most, but not all sham-controlled studies revealed beneficial effects with this approach in the treatment of tinnitus (for the last five years e.g. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 . TMS is regarded a safe technique with only few adverse effects 24 and has been proven to be feasible for both in- and out-patient treatment 25 .…”

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been proposed as a tinnitus treatment option. Promising results have been obtained by consecutive stimulation of lateral frontal and auditory brain regions. We investigated a combined stimulation paradigm targeting the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) with double cone coil rTMS, followed by stimulation of the temporo-parietal junction area with a figure-of-eight coil. The study was conducted as a randomized, double-blind pilot trial in 40 patients suffering from chronic tinnitus. We compared mediofrontal stimulation with double-cone-coil, (2000 stimuli, 10 Hz) followed by left temporo-parietal stimulation with figure-of-eight-coil (2000 stimuli, 1 Hz) to left dorsolateral-prefrontal-cortex stimulation with figure-of-eight-coil (2000 stimuli, 10 Hz) followed by temporo-parietal stimulation with figure-of-eight-coil (2000 stimuli, 1 Hz). The stimulation was feasible with comparable dropout rates in both study arms; no severe adverse events were registered. Responder rates did not differ in both study arms. There was a significant main effect of time for the change in the TQ score, but no significant time x group interaction. This pilot study demonstrated the feasibility of combined mediofrontal/temporoparietal-rTMS-stimulation with double cone coil in tinnitus patients but failed to show better outcome compared to an actively rTMS treated control group.
