NCT ID NCT06433895
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested whether manual therapy (hands-on treatment) on the neck can reduce tinnitus in people whose ringing ears are linked to neck pain. 31 adults with somatic tinnitus received either manual therapy or neck exercises. The goal was to see if treating the neck could ease the sound. Results are not yet reported, but if positive, this could offer a simple, non-drug option for certain tinnitus sufferers.
