First seen Dec 29, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tested a non-invasive treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for people with chronic, severe tinnitus (ringing in the ears). 64 adults received either real or fake (sham) magnetic pulses to see if it could reduce their tinnitus symptoms. The goal was to find the best settings for rTMS that are both safe and effective, and to see how long any benefit might last.
