Electromyographic (EMG) feedback procedures were utilized in treating two adult patients with idiopathic subjective tinnitus. The relationship between behavioral severity ratings of tinnitus and EMG activity at the frontalis muscle was investigated using a single-subject, double-reversal experimental design. Biofeedback procedures were effective in modifying EMG activity levels, but changes in EMG levels were not related systematically to behavioral ratings of tinnitus. It was concluded that the physiologic effects of EMG biofeedback procedures may not be the active ingredient in such treatment procedures.
肌电图（EMG）反馈程序被用于治疗两名患有特发性主观性耳鸣的成年患者。采用单受试者、双反转实验设计，研究了耳鸣的行为严重程度评分与额肌肌电活动之间的关系。生物反馈程序在改变肌电活动水平方面是有效的，但肌电水平的变化与耳鸣的行为评分没有系统的关联。得出的结论是，肌电生物反馈程序的生理效应可能不是此类治疗程序中的有效成分。
