ChiCTR Registers Multicenter Trial of BCI Mindfulness Meditation in Chronic Tinnitus

Summary The Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) has logged a multicenter randomized controlled trial testing whether brain-computer interface-based mindfulness meditation relieves the symptoms of chronic tinnitus. Registered on April 23, 2026 as ChiCTR2600123258, the trial has not begun enrolling patients, and its design, sample size and sponsor must be read from the original registration record. It is the first multicenter registration to combine BCI with mindfulness meditation for chronic tinnitus, moving the approach from single-center exploration toward multicenter validation.

Why it matters The step that matters is design rather than indication: moving from single-center exploration to a multicenter randomized trial is where a neurofeedback-style intervention either survives site variation and controls or quietly does not.

BCIwiki (bciwiki.com) — A multicenter randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of brain-computer interface-based mindfulness meditation on clinical symptoms in patients with chronic tinnitus was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) on April 23, 2026, under registration number ChiCTR2600123258. The trial has not yet begun recruiting participants.

According to the registration record posted by ChiCTR, the trial uses a multicenter randomized controlled design. Details on the intervention protocol, sample size, and sponsor are available in the original registration. Chronic tinnitus is a common auditory disorder lacking a universally effective treatment, and the combination of BCI with mindfulness meditation offers a new avenue for exploration.
