Table 1.

Demographic data, baseline scores, changes during treatment and correlations of patients who had tinnitus at baseline (data from three trials, absolute and relative frequency and p-value of the two-sided χ2 test or mean ± standard deviation, p-value of the two-sided t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient, respectively).
