R-Tms And Tdcs İn Tinnitus Treatment (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation - Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation)

This is one of the newest treatment methods. This device has been widely used in prestigious medical schools around the world since 2011. New versions have been developed in the last two years, resulting in its final form. We have started using the new generation r-TMS device and have achieved successful results in tinnitus treatment. By 2025, it will be recognized in dozens of scientific studies and articles as a reliable, side-effect-free, and non-invasive method for tinnitus treatment. This application device is available in our clinic. It can achieve high success rates within our treatment range. Achieving high success in tinnitus treatments requires medical equipment and comprehensive research to aid in success. Currently, there is no 100% cure. However, multiple treatment combinations play a significant role in success. Depending on the individual's symptoms, combined treatments with additional support and medication-based therapies, device applications, and other treatments can achieve results reaching 65-70%. However, it should be kept in mind that treatment success rates can vary depending on the individual's symptoms. Treatment failure is also possible; this rate can reach up to 35%. If treatment has been received, it is important to pay attention to certain elements within the scope of preventing tinnitus. These elements include avoiding stress as much as possible, getting regular sleep, proper and regular nutrition, paying attention to certain elements to protect hearing health, not neglecting walking in daily life, and engaging in sports and meditation if possible. If the person has any systemic disease, it is recommended that they be under the control of the relevant specialist. This lifestyle will maintain the success obtained from tinnitus treatment. If these problems and additions continue in life, tinnitus flare-ups may occur, or these rates may decrease to 40-50% in the long term. In such cases, a second application is recommended in scientific articles. It is also reported that a second application one year after treatment has been achieved can have a positive contribution to the treatments. Working principle; Strong electromagnetic signals are known to reduce impaired neural hyperactivity. Tinnitus is believed to be a function of hyperactivity in the neural cortex of the brain. Therefore, many researchers believe this signal can reduce the sensation and severity of tinnitus. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (R-TMS) uses a powerful, non-invasive magnetic coil implanted in the skull to deliver electromagnetic vibrations to the underlying brain tissue. Treatment protocols, including coil placement, stimulation frequency, stimulation intensity, and patient care frequency, are crucial to ensuring the clinical effectiveness of r-TMS. Therefore, ensuring the procedure is performed correctly is very important.

• Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation minimizes the neural hyperactivity that underlies the tinnitus. It is another form of non-invasive electromagnetic treatment. 
It is applied by means of electrodes that transmit electromagnetic pulses from the patient's scalp to the underlying brain tissue. The magnitude of the electrical stimulation varies depending on the neural stimulation under each electron. Successful results have been obtained from tDCS used in studies for the treatment of tinnitus. Some studies conducted in Texas (the US) and Australia have shown that patients have benefited from the treatment at the rate of up to 40-48%. This method will very soon come into use with other treatments in our clinic.
