Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation rTMS is a non-invasive tool capable of modulating human brain activity using single pulse or burst stimuli. Burst rTMS has only been performed in the theta range and has not been used clinically. The authors analyze whether burst TMS at theta 5 Hz alpha 10 Hz and beta 20 Hz frequencies can temporarily suppress narrow band noise white noise tinnitus Which has been demonstrated to be intractable to tonic stimulation. Methods rTMS is performed both in tonic and burst mode in 46 patients contralateral to the tinnitus side at 5 10 and 20 Hz. Fourteen placebo negative rTMS responders are further analyzed. Results In 5 patients maximal tinnitus suppression is obtained with theta in 2 with alpha and in 7 with beta burst stimulation. Burst rTMS suppresses narrow band white tinnitus much better than tonic rTMS f 13 p .000. Women experience greater suppression of their tinnitus with burst stimulation than men f 12 p .05. Furthermore left sided tinnitus is perceived as more distressing
