Idiopathic tinnitus patients
experienced significant differences in auditory-related and nonauditory-related
brain reorganization before and after sound therapy (narrow band noise), that
is, sound therapy may have a significant effect on brain reorganization in
patients with idiopathic tinnitus.
Figure4 Intergroup differences in internetwork FC between the tinnitus patients and HCs and between the patients before and after sound therapy.
(A) Compared with the HCs, the tinnitus patients exhibited a decreased (i.e., positive) (mVN and lVN) or an increased (i.e., less negative) (mVN and SMN; mVN and AN) internetwork FC at baseline.
Figure4 (B) Compared with HCs,
tinnitus patients showed a decreased (i.e., positive) (AN and pDMN; DAN and LFPN) internetwork FC after sound
therapy.
