Synopsis

Keywords: fMRI Analysis, Head & Neck/ENT

Motivation: This study aimed to explore alterations in brain surface-based morphometry sulcal depth in patients with idiopathic tinnitus before and after 24 weeks of sound therapy.

Goal(s): This study aimed to explore alterations in brain surface-based morphometry sulcal depth in patients with idiopathic tinnitus before and after 24 weeks of sound therapy.

Approach: Thirty-three tinnitus patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging scans at baseline and after 24 weeks of sound therapy.

Results: Compared to HCs, those in the tinnitus group at baseline had significantly lower sulcal depth in the left medial temporal cortex (MTC) and right somatosensory and motor cortex (SMC).

Impact: The remodeling of sulcal depth after sound therapy is an indicator for effective sound therapy.
