the effectiveness of neuro music therapy according to the heidelberg model compared to a single session of Educational Counseling as treatment for tinnitus a controlled trial
Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 2015Co-Authors: Heike Argstatter, Miriam Grapp, Elisabeth Hutter, Peter K Plinkert, Hansvolker BolayAbstract:Abstract Objectives Tinnitus is a very common symptom, yet the quest for an effective treatment is challenging. Results from several clinical trials support the notion that neuro-music therapy is an effective means to reduce tinnitus distress with short duration and long lasting effect. However, until now, the effectiveness has not been tested in a controlled trial against an active comparator. Methods The trial was designed as two-center, parallel intervention group controlled study with two intervention groups: Counseling (50 minute individualized personal instruction) or neuro-music therapy (Counseling plus eight 50-minute sessions of individualized music therapy). Data of n = 290 patients suffering from chronic tinnitus were analyzed. Outcome measure was the change in Tinnitus Questionnaire Total Scores (TQ) from baseline (admission) to end of treatment. Results Both treatment groups achieved a statistically relevant reduction in TQ scores, though 66% of patients in the music therapy group attained a clinically meaningful improvement compared to 33% in the Counseling group. A binary logistic regression revealed two variables significantly influencing therapy outcome: initial tinnitus score and type of therapy with an OR for the music therapy compared to the Counseling of 4.34 (CI 2.33–8.09). Conclusions Counseling is an appropriate treatment option with well above chance of improvement. The neuro-music therapy outperformed the Counseling. This treatment targets the tinnitus sound itself, is short in duration, intrinsically motivating and easy to operate and thus presents a possible complement to the therapeutic spectrum in chronic tinnitus. The trial was registered at the ClinicalTrials.gov registry (ID: NCT01845155).

Investigation on chronic tinnitus efficacy of combination of non-repetitive preferred music and Educational Counseling: a preliminary study.
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2020Co-Authors: Jiemei Chen, Ping Zhong, Zhaoli Meng, Fan Pan, Yun ZhengAbstract:Purpose To improve the efficacy of music therapy on tinnitus relief, specific music that was not repetitively played and satisfies individualized preference was developed. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of combination of the specific music and Educational Counseling on tinnitus relief in short term. Methods Sixty patients suffering from chronic tinnitus were included. The non-randomized controlled study was designed with two intervention groups: Educational Counseling (EC, which included a 1-h individualized instruction) and preferred music therapy [PMT, which included EC plus 15, 30-min preferred music sessions (PMS)]. Three assessments-the Chinese-Mandarin version of Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI-CM), Tinnitus Evaluation Questionnaire (TEQ), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were administered before and 1, 2, 3 weeks after initiation of treatment to evaluate the efficacy. Results Twenty-six patients in PMT group attained a clinically meaningful improvement in THI compared to 15 in the EC group, though both groups achieved a statistically relevant reduction in the 3 assessments. Conclusion The PMT had a positive impact on chronic tinnitus and related distress in a short term. It outperformed the separate EC, which is an appropriate treatment option in clinic. Therefore, it presents a possible complement to the therapeutic spectrum in chronic tinnitus. Trial registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR1900022624. Registered on 19 April 2019.

effects of Educational Counseling as solitary therapy for chronic primary tinnitus and related problems
BioMed Research International, 2018Co-Authors: Yuqing Liu, Dan Lai, Zhiji Chen, Peng Liu, Yun ZhengAbstract:The aim of this study was to evaluate the early and sustained effects of tinnitus Educational Counseling on chronic primary tinnitus and related problems. A descriptive longitudinal cohort study was conducted with 159 adult patients suffering from chronic primary tinnitus and sleep problems. All patients received tinnitus Educational Counseling, sleep adjustment, and vegan dietary advice. At short-term assessment within 3 months and long-term follow-up at 6-26 months, perceived changes in tinnitus were assessed with the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and the Tinnitus Evaluation Questionnaire (TEQ), respectively. In TEQ, the volume of subjective tinnitus was scored according to realistic environments in which tinnitus could be heard. Sleep quality was assessed with questionnaires developed in our laboratory. Most of the subjects showed significant early improvement in their THI scores (96/159, 60.38%; from 46.11 ± 22.74 to 31.94 ± 20.41, t = 11.16, p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.66). Tinnitus volume (39/159, 24.53%, from 2,2 to 2,1, z = -3.56, p < 0.001) and sleep quality (68/159, 42.77%; from 7.13 ± 3.11 to 6.31 ± 2.75, t = 3.73, p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.28) were also improved. Long-term follow-up TEQ results indicated that tinnitus loudness, the impact of tinnitus on sleep, concentration, and emotional state were all improved since the prior consultation (p = 0.001, 0.026, 0.012, and <0.001). Short-term improvement of tinnitus severity correlated directly with improvement of sleep quality (odds ratio (OR) = 0.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.14-0.64, p = 0.002), initial THI score (OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.04, p = 0.006), compliance with sleep advice (OR = 2.27, 95% CI: 1.02-5.05, p = 0.044), and nervous disposition (OR = 2.80, 95% CI: 1.25-6.30, p = 0.013). A future randomized controlled trial would be carried out to examine the effect of sole tinnitus Educational Counseling.
