TABLE 2.

Difference in cortical thickness of the left and right hemispheres between the two groups (tinnitus patients and healthy controls) and two scans (at baseline and at the 24th week).

Statistically significant differences in cortical thickness were defined as P < 0.05 (P < 0.025 for each hemisphere), Monte Carlo Simulation corrected after correcting for age, sex, education, and the head motion. MNI, Montreal Neurological Institute; HCP, Human Connectome Project.
