NCT07481903
This clinical trial aims to assess whether electroacupuncture (EA) can alleviate the psychoneurological symptom cluster (including pain, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression and subjective cognitive decline) in breast cancer survivors, and to evaluate the safety of this therapy. Researchers will conduct a randomized controlled trial of electroacupuncture (EA) as compared to sham electroacupuncture (SA) in breast cancer survivors with the psychoneurological symptom cluster who are currently being treated with endocrine therapy. Participants will receive 16 treatments over 8 weeks. The EA group will receive true acupuncture with continuous wave stimulation (2Hz, intensity as tolerated) administered for 30 minutes per session. The SA group will receive sham acupuncture using blunt (non-penetrating) needles that contact the skin without penetration, along with a 30-second transient device activation instead of the 30-minute continuous stimulation. Treatment outcomes for pain, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression and subjective cognitive function will be assessed. The primary outcome is response rate of the psychoneurological symptom cluster after 8 weeks of treatment. Secondary outcomes include changes from baseline in the scores of each of the six psychoneurological symptoms.
NCT07468318
Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears) affects approximately 10-15% of the adult population and significantly reduces quality of life in many patients. In a substantial proportion of cases, tinnitus is associated with dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and cervical spine - this subtype is called somatosensory tinnitus. This randomised controlled trial investigates the effectiveness of a multimodal intervention combining: (1) physiotherapy targeting TMJ and cervical spine dysfunction, (2) a structured combined exercise program (aerobic + resistance + breathing), and (3) psychological support (cognitive-behavioural psychoeducation) in patients with chronic somatosensory tinnitus. The study also examines the acute effects of different types and intensities of physical exercise on tinnitus perception, and performs psychometric validation of Czech-language tinnitus assessment questionnaires. Participants (N=160, aged 18-70 years) will be randomly assigned to either the multimodal intervention group (8 weeks, 5 sessions/week) or a control group. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at 3, 12, and 24 months. The primary outcome is the change in the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) score.
NCT03988699
Researchers are gathering information on the safety and effectiveness of a novel device called the Tinnitus Implant System for the treatment of tinnitus.
NCT07393880
This study tests whether pairing non-invasive stimulation of the greater occipital nerve (NITESGON) with an attentionally demanding auditory frequency discrimination training task reduces tinnitus loudness and tinnitus-related distress. One hundred adults with chronic tonal tinnitus will be randomised to one of four groups in a 2×2 factorial design: real versus sham NITESGON and active versus passive listening during auditory stimulation. Participants complete eight sessions across four weeks, with outcomes assessed at baseline, end of treatment, 28 days post-treatment, and 6 months post-treatment.
NCT06768944
The purpose of this study is to determine the importance of the acute subjective experience induced by psilocybin (the primary component of "magic mushrooms") in facilitating positive outcomes. Participants in this study will be given psilocybin in combination with either a placebo or risperidone, an atypical antipsychotic that block the subjective effects of psilocybin.

This project is planned to collect non-dialysis adults who suffer from sleep and tinnitus disorders and refuse to take sleeping medicines in our hospital by random assignment and double-blind method. 120 adults were divided into 3 groups. 1. Control group: receive placebo treatment, once a day, four pills each time. 2. Herbal compound low-dose group: once a day, two herbal compound capsules and two placebos each time. The total amount of herbal compound capsules is 582 mg. 3. Herbal compound high-dose group: once a day, four capsules each time. The total amount of herbal compound capsules is 1164 mg. All subjects received health questionnaire, sleep questionnaire and tinnitus questionnaire before the start of the test At the end of the treatment(3 months), the health questionnaire, sleep questionnaire, and tinnitus questionnaire were accepted.
NCT05791825
This study will test how well a mindfulness-based intervention called CHIME improves the emotional well-being of educators in Early Head Start and Head Start (EHS/HS) settings. The study also will examine if there are any benefits to young children's social emotional health as a result of the CHIME program. Researchers will compare educators who participate in CHIME to educators who are asked to participate at a later time to see if there are benefits to their emotional health and teaching practices.
NCT07345364
This study plans to set up 5 dose groups across 7 cohorts, including intravenous bolus plus infusion administration as well as intravenous bolus alone. The study plans to enroll 8 subjects per cohort (investigational drug: placebo = 6:2), including both males and females, totaling 56 healthy subjects. The study begins with dose-escalation enrollment starting from Cohort 1. Each cohort receives a single dose, sequentially completing Cohorts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. After each cohort's dosing is completed, a 7-day observation period is conducted for safety evaluation. If the termination criteria are not met, the study may proceed to the next dose level following assessment by the Safety Review Committee. By collecting adverse events, as well as abnormal indicators from vital signs, electrocardiograms, and laboratory tests, and collecting blood samples at planned time points to measure SIM0811 plasma concentration and thrombotic molecular markers, the study aims to evaluate the tolerability and safety of SIM0811 injection in Chinese healthy adult subjects, characterize its pharmacokinetic profile after single-dose administration, and explore the change curves of thrombotic molecular markers (plasmin-α2 antiplasmin complex PIC, fibrin degradation products FDP)

NCT07071480
The goal of this interventional clinical study is to establish mild therapeutic hypothermia, delivered non-invasively to the structures of the inner ear, as a safe and repeatable therapeutic method for symptomatic relief of tinnitus. The study will assess both objective and subjective measures to address two main aims: 1. Ascertain the benefits of mild therapeutic hypothermia for symptomatic relief of chronic tinnitus in participants using the ReBound hypothermia device. 2. Ascertain the benefits of mild therapeutic hypothermia for symptom management in chronic tinnitus participants over six months using the ReBound device. Participants will wear the ReBound hypothermia device for 30 minutes in a single session. Researchers will compare results from those receiving the therapy to those from a control group (sham therapy). Participants will also use the device in-home for 6 months and monitor their symptoms with online surveys.
NCT07298499
This study is a Post-Market Clinical Investigation whose primary purpose is to evaluate hearing aid amplification and tinnitus masker performance for individuals with hearing loss and tinnitus. There are two primary hypotheses that will be assessed in this study: The use of well-fit amplification alone improves participants' ability to hear and improves tinnitus symptoms as compared to unaided conditions. The use of well-fit amplification in conjunction with a tinnitus masker improves participants' ability to hear and improves tinnitus symptoms as compared to unaided conditions. Participants will be fit with hearing aids for 6 months and a tinnitus masker will be activated at the 3-month mark of the study. Outcome measures will evaluate device performance and participant benefit from the devices throughout the study duration.
NCT07308301
Primary Aim The primary aim of this study is to determine the quality of life and caregiving burden levels of caregivers of pediatric oncology patients and to examine the relationship between these two variables. Secondary Aims To evaluate the differences between caregivers' sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, education level, marital status, income level, etc.) and their quality of life. To examine the differences between caregivers' sociodemographic characteristics and their caregiving burden levels. To determine whether caregivers' quality of life and caregiving burden differ according to the diagnosis and treatment characteristics of pediatric oncology patients (duration of diagnosis, type of treatment, frequency of hospitalization, etc.). Significance of the Study Childhood cancer is a process that deeply affects not only the patient but also the family, particularly the caregivers. Family members who provide care for children often face intense physical, psychological, social, and economic burdens. These challenges reduce caregivers' quality of life and increase their caregiving burden. Identifying the relationship between the quality of life and caregiving burden among caregivers of pediatric oncology patients is highly important in planning support services for families during the care process and in strengthening family-centered care practices by healthcare professionals. The findings of this study will contribute to the development of family-centered approaches in nursing care, the design of psychosocial support programs, and a better understanding of caregivers' needs.
NCT06477354
ACEMg (Soundbites) is a neuroprotectant supplement designed to block the initiating biological events in the inner ear leading to inner ear hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, SNHL, which accounts for more than 90% of all hearing loss. SNHL is so common it is called hearing loss. There is no cure for SNHL. The 24-week OTIS Study aims to validate findings from the previous two-year real-world study demonstrating ACEMg (Soundbites) preserved or improved auditory function (hearing) for 75.3% of participants who used it daily, with most improvement occurring within six months. The study also aims to assess the potential of ACEMg to relieve tinnitus, hyperacusis, and hearing sensitivity symptoms. These symptoms are often correlated with SNHL; relief from tinnitus, hyperacusis and hearing sensitivity were were not measured in the previous two-year study. The OTIS study aims to answer two questions. First, does the real-world data demonstrate that hearing loss is stabilized or improved at the end of the test among participants with SNHL at the beginning? Second, do participants who self-report tinnitus, hyperacusis, or hearing sensitivity symptoms at the start of their test report reduced symptoms at the end? Participants must be eighteen years of age and older and self-report hearing loss and/or tinnitus. The study is conducted at home using a smartphone app and a web-based assessment and data reporting tool developed for this study. The study is conducted at home using an online hearing test and short surveys on tinnitus and hyperacusis. The tests are completed three times: Baseline tests are taken before participants begin to take ACEMg softgel capsules daily. The Test is repeated at about 11 and 24 weeks. Assessment scores at the beginning of the study will be compared with scores at the end. Participation in the study is free.
NCT06641999
This study will test an experimental Tinnitus Implant System that consists of a cochlear implant, sound processor and programming software. The Tinnitus implant is surgically placed under the skin just behind the ear in the mastoid bone. It has an electrode that extends from the implant into the promontory bone of the cochlea which emits electrical signals that stimulate the auditory nerve. The sound processor is worn behind the ear and powers the implant via the coil. The study will be conducted in adults with moderate to severe chronic tinnitus who have normal hearing to moderately severe hearing loss in the inner ear. The study participants will undergo a series of tests that include evaluations of tinnitus loudness and annoyance, and self-reported questionnaires on their tinnitus and general health.
NCT07092033
The research objective of the proposed usability study is to assess the compliance and acceptance/satisfaction of using a bimodal stimulation device with the modification of the sound stimulus to the participant's tinnitus pitch. In particular, the sound stimulus will not contain the pitch of the tinnitus, which may increase comfort and usability with the device since it will be customized to their tinnitus. Furthermore, virtual follow-up assessments and/or phone calls will be performed, thus significantly reducing the burden and personnel requirements for in-person visits as originally performed with the current clinic process.
NCT01956097
The objectives of the current study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HX106 in healthy adults with subjective memory complaints for improving cognitive and neurobiolgoical markers of memory.
NCT07106593
In this study, researchers are examining the best sequence of interventions for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and tinnitus. Participants will either receive psychotherapy for PTSD first (Cognitive Processing Therapy; CPT), followed by treatment for tinnitus (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Tinnitus; CBT-t); or vice-versa. We also aim to identify changes in brain functioning after receiving therapy.
NCT06940726
The goal of this observational study is to understand the mechanisms underlying tinnitus, and improve the clinical assessment strategies needed to develop targeted therapeutic interventions by comparing endogenous attention capacities in healthy subjects and subjects with tinnitus
NCT06493825
Children with "bothersome" tinnitus and misophonia have elevated anxiety and depression symptoms. The mainstay therapy for adults and children with these disorders is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT resources are expensive and scarce for the pediatric population. Immersive virtual reality (IVR) has been shown in the adult population to be a proxy for CBT for several mental health disorders. There is sufficient published evidence that IVR is useful in treating adults with anxiety and depression disorders. However, the evidence in children in treating either anxiety and depression symptoms or disorder is scant. Our group views IVR application as a promising medical device to decrease anxiety and depression scores in children with tinnitus and misophonia disorders. This is a randomized placebo control (single-blinded to the study subjects) study in which there will be a 2:1 ratio between the experimental and placebo subjects, receiving either active IVR or placebo exposure. A total of 30 subjects with 20 experimental (10 tinnitus, 10 misophonia subjects) and 10 placebo (5 tinnitus and 5 misophonia subjects) will enroll in this randomized clinical trial. Assessment of change of quality of life, anxiety and depression symptoms will be based on 5 validated instruments. The 5 validated instruments are: Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI), Amsterdam Misophonia Scale (A-MIS-S), Pediatric Quality of Life PEDQL), Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) and Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ).
NCT06895824
We are examining the effect of mindfulness meditation on attitudes towards tinnitus, as well as physical and psychological distress associated with the condition. The meditation is designed to promote neuroplasticity, fostering new neural connections to help you reinterpret tinnitus through a lens of safety and reduce the perception of threat. This approach integrates several techniques from various psychological therapies which have been promising in reducing tinnitusrelated distress. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to see whether a guided mindfulness meditation intervention is effective in improving the acceptance of tinnitus symptoms, as well as reducing tinnitus-related distress in people living with tinnitus.
