This study is the first to demonstrate outcomes of slow cortical potential (SCP) Neurofeedback training in chronic tinnitus. A 50-year old male patient with tinnitus participated in three SCP training blocks, separated with 1-month breaks. After the training the patient reported decreased tinnitus loudness and pitch, as well as improved quality of daily life. A quantitative electroencephalography analysis revealed close to normal changes of resting state bioelectrical activity in cortical areas considered to be involved in tinnitus generation. The present case study indicates that SCP Neurofeedback training can be considered a promising method for tinnitus treatment.
本研究首次展示了慢性耳鸣患者进行慢皮层电位(SCP)神经反馈训练的结果。一名50岁的耳鸣男性患者参加了三个SCP训练阶段,中间间隔1个月。训练后,患者报告耳鸣响度和音调降低,以及日常生活质量得到改善。定量脑电图分析显示,在被认为与耳鸣产生有关的皮层区域,静息状态生物电活动接近正常变化。本病例研究表明,SCP神经反馈训练可被视为一种有前景的耳鸣治疗方法。
