A total of 60 tinnitus patients were randomly assigned to either an acupuncture group or a waiting list group in a 1:1 ratio. Subjects in the acupuncture group will undergo 4-week acupuncture treatment, while subjects in the waiting list group will receive no treatment during the 4 weeks.
This randomized controlled pilot trial aims to explore the Efficacy and central mechanism of acupuncture for treating chronic subjective tinnitus using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).
