Efficacy of Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy and applied relaxation for tinnitus distress in the United States (ICBT vs IAR study): A Randomized Clinical Trial

This data set was generated as a part of the clinical trial to examine the efficacy of the Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) and applied relaxation (IAR) for tinnitus distress in the US population (Clinicaltrials.gov registration no NCT04335812). The study used a parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT) design (n=126). Both the ICBT and IAR treatments were undertaken as Internet-based interventions with minimal guidance from an audiologist. The ICBT group received the full CBT program over an 8 week period. The IAR group received 8 weeks of only applied relaxation before having access to the other CBT modules for a further 4 weeks. The attached documents include the dataset, demographic questionnaire and metadata which provide additional details about the dataset.

本数据集源自一项旨在评估互联网认知行为疗法（Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy, ICBT）与应用放松疗法（applied relaxation, IAR）针对美国人群耳鸣困扰的疗效的临床试验，该试验在Clinicaltrials.gov的注册号为NCT04335812。本研究采用平行随机对照试验（randomized controlled trial, RCT）设计，总样本量为126例。ICBT组与IAR组均以互联网干预形式开展，仅获得听力学专家的最低限度指导。其中，ICBT组在8周周期内接受完整的认知行为疗法（cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT）方案；IAR组先仅接受8周的应用放松疗法，后续可额外使用4周的其余CBT模块。附件文件包含本数据集、人口学问卷调查以及数据集元数据，后者可提供本数据集的更多详细信息。
