“…Apart from several studies that investigated the effect of lowfrequency rTMS in tinnitus (Schoisswohl et al, 2019), other trials examined the efficacy of continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) (Plewnia et al, 2012;Schecklmann et al, 2016), highfrequency rTMS over the temporal cortex (Khedr et al, 2008(Khedr et al, , 2010, as well as multi site stimulation protocols such as an additional excitatory stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) (Lehner et al, 2013(Lehner et al, , 2016Langguth et al, 2014;Formánek et al, 2018). Additionally, a combination of rTMS with specific medications (Kleinjung et al, 2009;Okamoto et al, 2010), relaxation techniques (Kreuzer et al, 2016), and peripheral muscle stimulation (Vielsmeier et al, 2018) have been investigated. However, there is still uncertainty regarding the efficacy of rTMS for the treatment of tinnitus, as indicated by several reviews with varying conclusions (Meng et al, 2011;Soleimani et al, 2016;Zenner et al, 2017;Londero et al, 2018), and two RCTs reporting conflicting results (Landgrebe et al, 2010;Folmer et al, 2015).…”
