Customised acoustic therapy delivered through a web-based platform-An innovative approach to tinnitus treatment.

Objectives: Customised acoustic therapy aims to moderate the neural pathways implicated in the pathophysiology of tinnitus. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of customised acoustic therapy administered via a web-based treatment platform.

Design: Clinical trial with prospective recruitment.

Symptomatic cerebral vasospasm following posterior fossa hemangioblastoma resection: illustrative case.

Background: Symptomatic cerebral vasospasm following posterior fossa intra-axial tumor resection is a rare phenomenon with only seven cases previously reported in the literature. The condition appears distinct to vasospasm following supratentorial tumor resection and extra-axial tumor resection of the posterior fossa. It shares, however, similarities with vasospasm following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

FiveQ: A new easy-to-use validated clinical instrument for tinnitus severity.

Objectives: Tinnitus is a complex and debilitating phenomenon with potentially significant implications on quality of life. New presentations can be resource and time intensive for clinicians. Validated comprehensive tinnitus questionnaires may lack practical utility in the high-volume clinical setting.

Anxiety disorders and comorbid medical illness.

Objective: To provide an overview of the role of anxiety disorders in medical illness.

Method: The Anxiety Disorders Association of America held a multidisciplinary conference from which conference leaders and speakers reviewed presentations and discussions, considered literature on prevalence, comorbidity, etiology and treatment, and made recommendations for research. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), asthma, cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer and chronic pain were reviewed.
