- Treatment of somatosensory tinnitus(2011) SANCHEZ, T. G.; ROCHA, C. B.Keypoints: 1. Treatment of somatosensory tinnitus often needs a multidisciplinary approach. 2. Treatment of patients who have signs of bone problems, muscular tension in the temporomandibular joint area or neck, should be directed to correct these problems as the first option. 3. If correction of bone or muscular disorders of -temporomandibular joint and neck fails in relieving tinnitus, symptomatic treatment should be initiated. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.
- Diagnosis of somatosensory tinnitus(2011) SANCHEZ, T. G.; ROCHA, C. B.Keypoints: 1. The contribution of non-auditory pathways to the pathology of tinnitus has become more and more evident. 2. Because many different stimuli can modulate tinnitus (forceful muscle contractions of the head and neck, eye movements, pressure of myofascial trigger points, cutaneous stimulation of the face, orofacial movements, etc.), it is important to diagnose somatosensory tinnitus and somatosensory modulation of tinnitus. 3. This chapter discusses how somatosensory tinnitus and somatosensory modulation of tinnitus can be diagnosed, mostly by means of anamnesis and physical evaluation. The chapter provides practical information to the health care professionals regarding such diagnosis. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.
- Diagnosis and management of somatosensory tinnitus: review article(2011) SANCHEZ, Tanit Ganz; ROCHA, Carina BezerraTinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of an acoustic external stimulus. It affects 10-17% of the world's population and it a complex symptom with multiple causes, which is influenced by pathways other than the auditory one. Recently, it has been observed that tinnitus may be provoked or modulated by stimulation arising from the somatosensorial system, as well as from the somatomotor and visual-motor systems. This specific subgroup - somatosensory tinnitus - is present in 65% of cases, even though it tends to be underdiagnosed. As a consequence, it is necessary to establish evaluation protocols and specific treatments focusing on both the auditory pathway and the musculoskeletal system.
- Tinnitus caused and influenced by the somatosensory system(2011) SANCHEZ, T. G.; ROCHA, C. B.Keypoints: 1. It is now recognized that many forms of tinnitus-related neural activity are much more complex and multimodal than ever thought. 2. It has become evident that contribution of non-auditory pathways is involved in eliciting or modulating many forms of tinnitus. 3. Many forms of tinnitus can be modulated by different actions such as forceful muscle contractions of the head and neck as well as eye movements. 4. Somatosensory stimulation such as that from pressure of myofascial trigger points, cutaneous stimulation at specific locations, electrical stimulation of the median nerve and hand, finger movements, and orofacial movements can also modulate or cause tinnitus, as can pressure applied to the temporomandibular joint or lateral pterygoid muscle. 5. This chapter discusses the causes of somatosensory tinnitus and in particular the influence from both head and neck regions on the auditory pathways in individuals with tinnitus. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.
