Evidence-based guidelines on the therapeutic use of repetitive transcranial mag...
Lefaucheur, Jean Pascal; Aleman, André; Baeken, Chris; Benninger, David H.; Brunelin, Jérôme; Di Lazzaro, Vincenzo; Filipović, Saša R.A group of European experts reappraised the guidelines on the therapeutic efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) previously published in 2014 [Lefaucheur et al., Clin Neurophysiol 2014;125:2150–206]. These updated recommendations take into account all rTMS publications, including data prior to 2014, as well as currently reviewed literature until the end of 2018. Level A evidence (defini...
One Size Does Not Fit All

For tinnitus, there is no common standard. The Core Outcome Measures in Tinnitus International Delphi (COMiT’ID) study created recommendations that are relevant to the most common intervention approaches for chronic subjective tinnitus in adults using consensus methods. Here...

Hall, Deborah A; Haider, Haula; Szczepek, Agnieszka J; Lau, Pia; Rabau, Sarah; Jones-Diette, Julie; Londero, Alain; Edvall, Niklas KBackground: There is no evidence-based guidance to facilitate design decisions for confirmatory trials or systematic reviews investigating treatment efficacy for adults with tinnitus. This systematic review therefore seeks to ascertain the current status of trial designs by identifying and evaluating the reporting of outcome domains and instruments in the treatment of adults with tinnitus. Methods: Records were...
