Internet-Based Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (iMBCT) for Chronic Tinnitus Patients

A 6-week (42 days), unguided online adaptation of the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) program. The intervention consisted of six sequential modules delivered through a secure web platform, including guided mindfulness meditations, body scan, mindful movement, and cognitive-behavioral exercises. Participants received audio recordings, written materials, and reflective tasks, along with automated reminder emails. No therapist guidance was provided.

Participants in this arm received no active intervention during the 6-week waitlist period but completed all study assessments on the same schedule as intervention arms. After the waiting period, participants were offered to take part in the online MBCT program.
