  Author(s): Subachhanda Behuriya*
  
  Tinnitus, the perception of sound in the absence of external stimuli, affects millions of individuals worldwide and can significantly impact quality of life. While various treatment modalities have been explored for tinnitus management, many patients remain refractory to conventional therapies. Deep Brain stimulation (DBS), a neuromodulation technique that involves the delivery of electrical impulses to specific brain regions, has emerged as a potential therapeutic option for treatment-resistant tinnitus. In this comprehensive review, we explore the current state of knowledge regarding the use of DBS for tinnitus, including its underlying mechanisms of action, preclinical and clinical evidence, patient selection criteria, surgical techniques, outcomes and future directions for research and clinical practice. We discuss the potential of DBS to modulate aberrant neur.. Read More»
