Treatment effects of combined transcranial direct current stimulation and counseling for the treatment of chronic tinnitus

This multimodal approach may provide a more comprehensive treatment strategy than single modalities alone. Future randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings and establish optimal treatment protocols.
