Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| to investigate the minimum and maximum effective-dose in single session HD-tDCS stimulation throughout the Surrogate endpoint of tinnitus loudness scale alteration, which recorded longitudinally by self-report question which presented on LCD and the response collected through keyboard, to identify the corresponding doses resulting in the desired minimum clinical efficacy, by means of evaluation of the posterior distribution in Bayesian model of longitudinal data in 95% credibility. during each session per participant.;Reduction in the score of the tinnitus loudness scale , recorded by self-report questionnaires before and after each session, with assessment the posterior distribution in Bayesian Model in 95% credibility. between the pre and post-intervention measurements. ;Reduction in the psychoacoustic parameters of patients before and after each session, verified through acoustical evaluation in the acoustic booth, from the observation of estimated point validity via Bayesian model posterior distribution within 95% credibility between pre and post-intervention measurements. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increase in latency and decrease in peak-amplitude on the p300 response of brain during the oddBall test, recorded throughout EEG/ERP before and after each session, with the assessment of the generalized linear mixed model while considering patients as random-effect, to analysis the difference between Active versus sham sessions within 95% of confidence interval, pre responses compared with post-intervention measurements.;To investigate Spatiotemporal Connectivity alteration in tinnitus network that proposed in Neurofunctional tinnitus model, recorded dens array EEG during sessions, with the assessment of the generalized linear mixed model while considering patients as random-effect, to analysis the difference between Active versus sham sessions within 95% of the confidence interval.;Increase in time of the probe localization, recorded by DotProbe-TEST responses recorded by keyboard before and after each session, with the assessment of the generalized linear mixed Model between pre/post group analysis of Neutral versus Emotion versus meaningless words by considering the patients as a random-effect for pre responses compared with post-intervention measurements. ;To investigate dynamic Connectivity activity in tinnitus network that proposed in Neurofunctional tinnitus model, recorded dens array EEG throughout each session, with the assessment of the generalized linear mixed model while considering patients as random-effect, to analysis the difference between Active versus sham sessions within 95% of the confidence interval. | — |
