Scientists scan brains to unlock mystery of ringing ears
NCT ID NCT04192773
Summary
This early research study aims to understand how the brain is involved in tinnitus, the perception of ringing or buzzing in the ears. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) on 40 participants, including people with and without tinnitus, before and after they receive an IV dose of lidocaine, a medication known to sometimes temporarily reduce tinnitus. The goal is to see which brain areas change activity when the ringing is suppressed, to better understand the condition.
