title: [Therapeutic perspectives in the treatment of chronic subjective tinnitus].
abstract: There are no effective therapies for the treatment of chronic subjective tinnitus. The present study aims to compare two therapeutic approaches: Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) and a Biopsychosocial Approach (BPS). Results show no difference in evolution of tinnitus' perception between the beginning of the study and after 12 months of treatment in both treatment groups. Important anxiety could be a factor contributed towards the abandonment or ineffectiveness of treatments. Patients with more biopsychosocial comorbidities are more receptive to therapies. The practicioners therefore must assess specific needs, comorbidities and biopsychosocial profiles of patients suffering from tinnitus.
