PURPOSE: This review aims to examine the effects of transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) on tinnitus and to determine the optimal treatment parameters, if possible.
METHODS: A comprehensive search, including MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, and PEDro, was conducted to determine experiments studying the effects of tRNS on tinnitus from inception to March 1, 2024. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies.
RESULTS: Seven studies met the eligibility criteria. A total of 616 patients with non-pulsatile tinnitus (mean age 50.93 years; 66% males) were included in this review. The included studies ranged from 3 to 8 out of 10 (median = 7) on the PEDro scale. The results showed that tRNS is an effective intervention in reducing tinnitus symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: The evidence for the effects of tRNS on people with chronic non-pulsatile tinnitus is promising. Administering tRNS with an intensity of 1-2 mA, high-frequency (101-650 Hz), using a 35 cm² electrode size over the auditory cortex and DLPFC, for 20 min with eight sessions may demonstrate the desired tRNS effects. The tRNS stimulation should be contralateral for unilateral tinnitus and bilaterally for bilateral tinnitus. Combining tRNS with other concurrent interventions may show superior effects in reducing tinnitus compared to tRNS alone. Further high-quality studies with larger sample sizes are strongly needed.
