Aim: to assess the predictive factors of multimodal physiotherapeutic treatment in somatosensory tinnitus. Materials and methods: the research question was structured with the PICOT method; Eight clinical trials were selected from five scientific databases from January to June 2024. For the theorical chapter secondary studies were also considered. Results: Twenty-eight predictive factors arose as significant for predicting the outcomes, although the papers were not consistently high in methodological quality. Discussion: the factors "Female sex", "No familiar history of tinnitus", "Moderate to severe tinnitus", " Co-variation of somatic symptoms and tinnitus ", "Recent onset", "Non-variation after loud noises", "Presence of somatic pain", "TMJ pain on palpation", "Pain on palpation of the temporal muscle", "Positive manoeuvre n 7 according to Levine et al" had strong correlation with positive outcomes. Conclusions: There are several predictive factors influencing the outcomes of multimodal treatments for somatosensory tinnitus. However, it is of fundamental importance to conduct clinical trials with a thorough methodology to identify the clients that are likely to benefit from the physiotherapeutic intervention. The need to structure a trial model that balances a low risk of bias with ethical requirements has been highlighted. Moreover, a clear, uniform treatment approach is required.
Scopo della ricerca: indagare i fattori predittivi del trattamento multimodale fisioterapico dell’acufene somatosensoriale e la loro correlazione con gli outcome. Materiali e metodi: per questa revisione la domanda di ricerca è stata strutturata secondo i criteri PICOT, la raccolta degli articoli è stata condotta su diversi database di pubblicazioni scientifiche da gennaio 2024 a giugno 2024 includendo studi primari in lingua inglese; per il capitolo teorico sono stati riportati principalmente studi secondari. Risultati: sono emersi ventotto fattori predittivi nonostante la qualità metodologica degli studi inclusi non fosse ottimale. Discussione: i fattori predittivi riportati con più frequenza sono stati “Sesso femminile”, “Non familiarità con acufene”, “Severità moderata o alta”, “Co-variazione dei disturbi”, “Insorgenza recente”, “Non variazione dopo rumori forti”, “Presenza di dolore somatico”, “Dolore alla palpazione dell'ATM”, “Dolore alla palpazione del muscolo temporale”, “Manovra di Levine n 7 positiva”. Conclusione: Esistono diversi fattori predittivi emersi da questi studi: è necessario condurre dei trial clinici con qualità metodologica migliore per poter individuare quali pazienti possano trarre beneficio dal trattamento fisioterapico e quali no. Bisognerebbe ideare dei modelli di studi clinici che permettano di bilanciare la necessità di ridurre il rischio di bias con i requisiti etici del trattamento. Inoltre, è necessario delineare un approccio di trattamento più chiaro e uniforme.

Abstract
Aim: to assess the predictive factors of multimodal physiotherapeutic treatment in somatosensory tinnitus. Materials and methods: the research question was structured with the PICOT method; Eight clinical trials were selected from five scientific databases from January to June 2024. For the theorical chapter secondary studies were also considered. Results: Twenty-eight predictive factors arose as significant for predicting the outcomes, although the papers were not consistently high in methodological quality. Discussion: the factors "Female sex", "No familiar history of tinnitus", "Moderate to severe tinnitus", " Co-variation of somatic symptoms and tinnitus ", "Recent onset", "Non-variation after loud noises", "Presence of somatic pain", "TMJ pain on palpation", "Pain on palpation of the temporal muscle", "Positive manoeuvre n 7 according to Levine et al" had strong correlation with positive outcomes. Conclusions: There are several predictive factors influencing the outcomes of multimodal treatments for somatosensory tinnitus. However, it is of fundamental importance to conduct clinical trials with a thorough methodology to identify the clients that are likely to benefit from the physiotherapeutic intervention.
