Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Audiology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Vertigo and tinnitus are debilitating conditions often linked to neurological and vestibular system dysfunction.
  • Current treatments for vertigo and tinnitus have varying efficacy, necessitating exploration of novel therapeutic approaches.

Observation:

  • This study investigated the impact of neurofeedback (NFB) on electrophysiological markers in patients with vertigo or tinnitus.
  • Changes in delta, theta, and alpha brainwave power were monitored alongside vestibular evoked potentials (VestEP).

Findings:

  • Neurofeedback (NFB) treatment led to reduced delta and theta band power, with increased alpha band power.
  • Significant normalization of vestibular evoked potentials (VestEP) was observed post-NFB, including in a patient with bilateral tinnitus.

  • The normalization of VestEP persisted at a 12-month follow-up, indicating sustained treatment efficacy.

    • Implications:

    • Neurofeedback (NFB) presents a promising, non-invasive therapeutic option for managing vertigo and tinnitus.
    • The observed normalization of VestEP suggests NFB can modulate neural pathways involved in vestibular processing.
    • Further research into NFB mechanisms could refine treatment protocols for sensorineural disorders.
