Article Abstract
Purpose: (1) Exploring the evaluation and correlation of peripheral central auditory function in patients with chronic tinnitus. (2) Evaluation of the cumulative effect of acupuncture on peripheral central auditory function in patients with chronic tinnitus.
Method: Our research is structured as a regulated and randomized trial with assessor blinding. Seventy-two participants who qualify with chronic tinnitus will be allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either the acupuncture group or the sham acupuncture group. Additionally, we will recruit 15 healthy individuals as subjects for data collection to observe the correlation of peripheral-central auditory function under different physiological states.
Result: Clinical result metrics encompass the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), ABR testing, and fNIRS data collection. Evaluations will be carried out at baseline, after 10 treatment sessions.
Conclusion: This research are anticipated to improve our comprehension of the effectiveness and fundamental processes of acupuncture in addressing persistent tinnitus and deeply explain the mechanism of action of the acupuncture method on chronic tinnitus.
Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT06401993.

Virtual reality (VR) has been utilized in clinical treatment because it can efficiently simulate situations that are difficult to control in the real world. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of VR in patients with chronic subjective tinnitus. We assessed the clinical effectiveness based on electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis and questionnaire responses after patients participated in a 6-8-week VR-based tinnitus relief program.

Chronic tinnitus is a common symptom of the auditory system. Its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, primarily due to its multifactorial etiology, which resembles that of other chronic conditions. As a result, effective clinical management requires interdisciplinary diagnostics and personalized therapeutic strategies.

Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is an important source of orofacial pain, which is associated with other symptoms. Due to the chronicity of the condition, self-management strategies are often required. However, little is known about participants' perspectives on the overlapping symptoms and the strategies used to manage facial pain.

Objective: The goal of this scoping review is to review the scope of features from previous resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) research that have the potential to be objective measures of chronic subjective tinnitus and presence.
Methods: Using keywords related to resting-state EEG and tinnitus we retrieved studies from Ovid, PubMed, and CINAHL. Studies were included if they met the following criteria: studies utilized resting-state EEG to assess chronic subjective tinnitus symptoms or compare those with tinnitus to control subjects.

Background: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) has emerged as a significant cardiovascular phenotype among individuals experiencing postacute COVID-19 syndrome, commonly referred to as long COVID.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of people reporting long COVID-associated POTS.
Methods: We collected data from individuals aged ≥18 years with self-reported long COVID who participated in the Yale Listen to Immune, Symptom and Treatment Experiences Now (LISTEN) cohort, an online observational study.
