Effect of Acupuncture Treatment on Cortical Activation in Patients With Tinnitus: A Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study
Tinnitus is an auditory phantom percept that affects the perception of sound in the patient’s ears, and the incidence of prolonged tinnitus is as high as ten to fifteen percent. Acupuncture is a unique treatment method in Chinese medicine, and it has great advantages in the treatment of t...

| description | Tinnitus is an auditory phantom percept that affects the perception of sound in the patient’s ears, and the incidence of prolonged tinnitus is as high as ten to fifteen percent. Acupuncture is a unique treatment method in Chinese medicine, and it has great advantages in the treatment of tinnitus. However, tinnitus is a subjective symptom of patients, and there is currently no objective detection method to reflect the improvement effect of acupuncture on tinnitus. We used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to explore the effect of acupuncture on the cerebral cortex of tinnitus patients. We collected the scores of the tinnitus disorder inventory (THI), tinnitus evaluation questionnaire (TEQ), hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), and hamilton depression scale (HAMD) of eighteen subjects before and after acupuncture treatment, and the fNIRS signals of these subjects in sound-evoked activity before and after acupuncture treatment. According to the fNIRS detection results of tinnitus patients, acupuncture increased the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in the temporal lobe of tinnitus patients, and affected the activation of the auditory cortex. The study may reflect the neural mechanisms of acupuncture treatment for tinnitus and ultimately help to provide an objective evaluation method for the therapeutic effect of acupuncture treatment for tinnitus. |
