Standardized Clinical Profiling in Spanish Patients with Chronic Tinnitus

Comparisons to the online and hospital responses to the Spanish version of European School for Interdisciplinary Tinnitus Research screening-questionnaire (ESIT-SQ) in tinnitus individuals by an unsupervised age clustering show self-reported tinnitis surveys are a low confidence source for tinn Titus phenotyping.

Multidisciplinary Tinnitus Research: Challenges and Future Directions From the Perspective of Early Stage Researchers

This review summarizes current knowledge in various tinnitus-relevant research fields including tinnitis generating mechanisms, heterogeneity, epidemiology, assessment, and treatment development, in an effort to highlight the main challenges and provide suggestions for future research to overcome them.

Systematic Review on Healthcare and Societal Costs of Tinnitus

A comprehensive review of the literature shows a gap in the knowledge about the economic burden of tinnitus on healthcare systems, patients and society, and comprehensive health economic evaluations are needed to fill the gaps in current knowledge.

Overall, electrical stimulation may be an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for tinnitus.

Current therapeutic trends for tinnitus cure and control: a scoping review

Although several scoping reviews are published with an exclusive focus on individual therapies, authors recommend an umbrella review of systematic reviews to generate evidence-based practice consensus for tinnitus.

Systems Medicine Approach for Tinnitus with Comorbid Disorders

A more differentiated, systems medicine approach to disease and patient treatment is put forward, focusing on the interplay of tinnitus, depression, and chronic pain, which can be characterised by a variety of phenotypes composed of variable sets of symptoms and biomarkers.

Unification of Treatments and Interventions for Tinnitus Patients (UNITI): a study protocol for a multi-center randomized clinical trial

Results and conclusions from the current study might not only provide an essential contribution to combinatory and personalized treatment approaches in tinnitus but could also provide more profound insights in the heterogeneity of tinn Titus, representing an important step towards a cure for tinnitis.
