Tinnitus Patient Preferences Survey

Tinnitus Patient Preferences Survey

Phase N/A

Powered by AI

Overview

The goal of this survey is to assess several aspects related to patient preferences regarding interventions for alleviating tinnitus through invasive electrical brain stimulation (neuromodulation). This survey covers the acceptance of a surgically-placed brain implant, of its associated risks related to the neurosurgical procedure, usability considerations, and the willingness/ability to pay for such a treatment.

Neurosoft Bioelectronics will use the collected patients' feedback and usability preferences data for the development of a novel minimally invasive brain implant aimed at alleviating tinnitus.

Description

Neurosoft Bioelectronics is developing a minimally invasive implantable solution for the treatment of chronic, subjective moderate-to-severe cases of tinnitus. The approach involves developing a state-of-the-art neurostimulation paradigm and incorporating invasive neuromodulation findings from leading experts in the field to create an effective solution. This solution aims to minimize patient's burden by offering a fully implantable system that does not require active patient engagement or repetitive adjustments of electrical stimulation parameters. Instead, it will use a closed-loop feedback algorithm, that will be optimized through multi-target recordings and stimulation, to continuously adapt and refine the treatment. This type of solution could significantly increase the quality of life of affected individuals living with severe chronic tinnitus, for which only palliative and symptom management solutions exist today. As Neurosoft Bioelectronics is at the early stage of device development, we will use the collected patients' feedback and usability preferences data for refining clear users' and product's requirements.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
