NeuroVR Device: Neurofeedback to Treat Tinnitus

[Ela Stefan]

Of course not! I had to try each of them for about 2-3 weeks each time, then switch to another if it didn't work.

It is important to mention, if you happen to try this protocol, that I had to take these drugs at a very low dose (not at epileptic sufferer dose).

I have understood they would work at the epileptic dose. For example, Lamictal is safe to go up to 400-600 mg.

Hi folks!

I come with (bad) news, unfortunately.

Some years ago, in this thread, I talked about virtual reality as a treatment for tinnitus, as proposed by the Georges Pompidou Hospital in Paris.

It turns out that Dr. Londero didn't offer me to take part in the test protocol.

However, I came across this dissertation published in 2023 and supervised by Dr. Londero himself.

For those who don't speak French, here's an extract from the conclusion:

Although we have not demonstrated the efficacy of VR in the treatment of tinnitus, this approach is welcomed by patients in search of innovative therapies since it arouses curiosity and has a playful aspect. With the freedom of psychological connotations, as well as the fact that sessions are independent of the clinician's skills, VR is a promising treatment strategy for patients in situations of therapeutic failure.

Although its application is still restricted to the field of clinical research, the encouraging results of the lead study are conducive to the emergence of comparable studies.

It's disheartening to see yet another treatment that doesn't live up to our hopes...

Shocker.
