Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Tinnitus on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-08-08. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.

  1. Tinnitus is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    9 of 26 indexed trials (34.6%) are open to enrollment, against a 39.7% average across 762 conditions with 20-99 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Tinnitus trials is spread across many organizations.

    US Department of Veterans Affairs accounts for 3 of 26 trials (11.5%). 16 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Tinnitus enrolment sits around 80 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 80 among the 25 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 13 of those (52%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Tinnitus research is mostly interventional.

    23 interventional and 3 observational studies make up this index (88.5% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
