Objectives.
We investigated factors that contribute to suppression of tinnitus after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).
Methods.
A total of 289 patients with tinnitus underwent active 1 Hz rTMS in the left temporoparietal region.
A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess tinnitus loudness.
All participants were interviewed regarding age, gender, tinnitus duration, laterality and pitch, audiometric parameters, sleep, and so forth.
The resting motor thresholds (RMTs) were measured in all patients and 30 age- and gender-matched volunteers.
Results.
With respect to different factors that contribute to tinnitus suppression, we found improvement in the following domains: shorter duration, normal hearing (OR: 3.25, 95%CI: 2.01–5.27, p=0.001), and without sleep disturbance (OR: 2.51, 95%CI: 1.56–4.1, p=0.005) adjusted for age and gender.
The patients with tinnitus lasting less than 1 year were more likely to show suppression of tinnitus (OR: 2.77, 95%CI: 1.48–5.19, p=0.002) compared to those with tinnitus lasting more than 5 years.
Tinnitus patients had significantly lower RMTs compared with healthy volunteers.
Conclusion.
Active low-frequency rTMS results in a significant reduction in the loudness of tinnitus.
Significant tinnitus suppression was shown in subjects with shorter tinnitus duration, with normal hearing, and without sleep disturbance.
