However, the potential associations between tension-type headache and tinnitus is still unknown. The current study will explore whether abnormal CBF exists in tinnitus patients and examine the effects of headache on CBF in tinnitus patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:bold> Resting-state perfusion magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 40 chronic tinnitus patients and 50 healthy controls using pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling. Regions with CBF differences between tinnitus patients and healthy controls were investigated. The effects of headache on tinnitus for CBF changes were further explored. Correlation analyses revealed the relationship between CBF values and tinnitus distress as well as CBF values and headache degree.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Relative to healthy controls, chronic tinnitus showed decreased CBF, mainly in right superior temporal gyrus (STG), left middle frontal gyrus (MFG), and left superior frontal gyrus (SFG); the CBF in the right STG and the left MFG was negatively correlated with THQ scores (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = \u22120.553, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.001; <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = \u22120.399, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.017). We also observed a significant effect of headache on tinnitus for CBF in the right STG. Furthermore, the headache degree was correlated positively with tinnitus distress (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.594, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.020).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Decreased CBF in auditory and prefrontal cortex was observed in chronic tinnitus patients. Headache may accelerate CBF reductions in tinnitus, which may form the basis for the neurological mechanism in chronic tinnitus with tension-type headache.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2021.698539","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,27]],"date-time":"2021-08-27T22:38:42Z","timestamp":1630103922000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Arterial Spin Labeling Cerebral Perfusion Changes in Chronic Tinnitus With Tension-Type Headache"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Zhen-Gui","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin-Jing","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinghua","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanqing","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1600","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)60142-7","article-title":"Tinnitus","volume":"382","author":"Baguley","year":"2013","journal-title":"Lancet."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1497","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2020.0697","article-title":"Tinnitus","volume":"323","author":"Piccirillo","year":"2020","journal-title":"JAMA."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"711","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2010.02.015","article-title":"Prevalence and characteristics of tinnitus among US adults","volume":"123","author":"Shargorodsky","year":"2010","journal-title":"Am J Med."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heares.2016.05.009","article-title":"A systematic review of the reporting of tinnitus prevalence and severity","volume":"337","author":"Mccormack","year":"2016","journal-title":"Hear Res."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"797416","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/797416","article-title":"Tinnitus and headache","volume":"2015","author":"Langguth","year":"2015","journal-title":"Biomed Res Int."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"440","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2017.00440","article-title":"Tinnitus patients with comorbid headaches: the influence of headache type and laterality on tinnitus characteristics","volume":"8","author":"Langguth","year":"2017","journal-title":"Front Neurol."},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"776","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci10110776","article-title":"The prevalence of different types of headache in patients with subjective tinnitus and its influence on tinnitus parameters: a prospective clinical study","volume":"10","author":"Nowaczewska","year":"2020","journal-title":"Brain Sci"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.3389\/fnsys.2012.00031","article-title":"The auditory and non-auditory brain areas involved in tinnitus.
