Brain alterations in patients with intractable tinnitus before and after rTMS: A resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study

RTMS is effective in the treatment of tinnitus. It significantly reduces the THI/VAS score and improves the symptoms of tinnitus. No serious adverse reaction during rTMS were reported. The changes in the left fusiform gyrus and right superior part of the cerebellum may explain the mechanism of rTMS treatment in intractable tinnitus.
