Monitoring eeg during electrical stimulation for improvement in tinnitus suppression
Abstract
Temporary tinnitus relief is crucially related to how much patients feel relaxation during electrical stimulation. Electrical stimulation made tinnitus patients experience relief of tinnitus just after the treatment when patients slept during treatment. However, more than 10% of patients did not experience tinnitus relief even if patients reported they could sleep during treatment.
My theory on electrical tinnitus suppression is based on improved selective attention and systemic blood flow due to better sleep. Therefore, to monitor sleep condition during treatment would be of benefits to improvement in result of electrical tinnitus suppression.
