Abstract

Cognitive behavioral therapy, first introduced by Beck in the 1950s to treat depression by integratingcognitive and behavioral therapies, is now an established psychotherapy techniqueused to treat insomnia, chronic pain, and anxiety. Currently, cognitive behavioral therapy iswidely used to treat tinnitus in European countries, and the efficacy and safety of the treatmenthave been proven through randomized clinical trials and meta-analyses. Although interestin cognitive behavioral therapy for tinnitus is increasing in Korea, there are limited reports.
Because many studies so far have targeted patients in Western countries, it is difficultto apply the same to domestic patients due to cultural and linguistic differences, the absenceof standardized guidelines, and limitations in clinic hours. We experienced various cases inwhich tinnitus was effectively treated simultaneously with pharmacotherapy and cognitivebehavioral therapy, so here we report an introduction to the program along with a literaturereview. Cognitive behavioral therapy was performed as a 4-week program in our hospital, andprogress was evaluated through Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) and tinnitus handicap inventory(THI). After each weekly 20-minute individual counseling session, a take-home writingtask was given to the patient. The main goal was to guide the patient to discover and correctautomatic thoughts related to their tinnitus symptoms. This paper aimed to introduce a specificscheme on how to perform cognitive behavioral therapy for domestic tinnitus patients.
