Effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on tinnitus modulation: A randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical trial: Effect of tDCS on tinnitus modulation: A clinical trial.

Objectives: To evaluate the short and long-term effects of anodal tDCS (a-tDCS) targeting the left temporoparietal area (LTA) on tinnitus severity, annoyance, and loudness.

Methods: This is a double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled, and parallel-group clinical trial. A total of 42 individuals with tinnitus were randomized to a-tDCS (n = 24) or sham tDCS (n = 18).

Development of a clinical investigation protocol for occupational auditory health.

Introduction: Considering that noise is present in different work environments, occupational health regulations have been created that advocate for the care of employees' auditory system in these environments. Occupational hearing assessment should be performed by audiologists through audiological examinations, otoscopy, as well as an interview to assess possible risk factors for the development of hearing loss. However, up to the present moment, a standardized set of updated questions for this interview has not been defined.

Effect of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for tinnitus treatment: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of tDCS on tinnitus distress, loudness and psychiatric symptoms.

Methods: A systematic literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, VHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, OVID, and CINAHL databases was carried out on articles published until July 2021. Inclusion criteria were published controlled trials using tDCS intervention with tinnitus patients, using a sham/control group, and measuring tinnitus loudness, distress and/or psychiatric symptoms.

Perception of Tinnitus: Direct and Indirect Effects of Resilience, Personality Traits, and Psychiatric Symptoms.

Background: Psychiatric conditions are common in individuals with tinnitus. Therefore, the ways individuals cope with such conditions and personality can influence the characteristics of tinnitus.

Purpose: The study aims to investigate the direct and indirect effects of resilience, personality traits, and psychiatric symptoms on the tinnitus perception.

Neurostimulation Combined With Cognitive Intervention in Alzheimer's Disease (NeuroAD): Study Protocol of Double-Blind, Randomized, Factorial Clinical Trial.

Despite advances in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), there is currently no prospect of a cure, and evidence shows that multifactorial interventions can benefit patients. A promising therapeutic alternative is the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) simultaneously with cognitive intervention. The combination of these non-pharmacological techniques is apparently a safe and accessible approach.
