Non-Invasive Neurofeedback Training to Alleviate Tinnitus Distress

Targeted Neurofeedback Training to Alleviate Tinnitus Distress


Sponsor

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Aug 12, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The broad goals of this project are to apply and validate the therapeutic utility of neurofeedback-guided intervention for tinnitus and its associated psychological sufferings. In this project, the investigators will evaluate whether targeted (non-auditory networks) neurofeedback-based training can restore emotional and cognitive health for individuals with bothersome tinnitus. The investigators will also link individual tinnitus scores with objective brain imaging measures before, during, and after the intervention. The investigators will accomplish these goals by using a combined brain imaging and behavioral experimental framework.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a behavioral approach called neurofeedback-guided brain connectivity modulation and a behavioral approach called sham neurofeedback-guided brain connectivity modulation for people with tinnitus, tinnitus aggravated, and other related conditions. The study is currently recruiting participants at 1 location. People eligible for this study include aged 18 Years to 70 Years.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALneurofeedback-guided brain connectivity modulation

Real-time brain signal acquired through fMRI is used to measure ongoing functional connectivity of relevant brain regions (default mode network), and displayed to participants to mediate targeted regulation.

BEHAVIORALsham neurofeedback-guided brain connectivity modulation

Real-time brain signal acquired through fMRI on a different participant in the past is displayed to participants under this arm during feedback training.
