Treatment and study plan

real repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

Device

Sham repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

Device

This sham stimulation is not true stimulation.

Primary outcomes

  1. Tinnitus handicap inventory score

    Time frame: Before (- six months) and after (+ 5 days) rTMS interventions

    Primary outcomes will be measured twice. One is before, and the other is after 5-day rTMS interventions. Baseline primary outcome will be acceptable if it is done within the prior 6 months of 1st rTMS. Follow-up primary outcome will be done within the five days after 5th rTMS.
