Tracking balance and inner-ear function after Gamma Knife for schwannoma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how balance and inner-ear (vestibular) function change after Gamma Knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma. It may help doctors understand what to expect during recovery and how well these functions improve.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a vestibular schwannoma, and your team recommends Gamma Knife as your first treatment

- You can take part voluntarily and do not object to joining
- You are covered by Social Security (France)
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding
- You do not have type 2 neurofibromatosis, and you have no special legal protection

This study looks at how your balance might change after gamma-knife radiosurgery for a vestibular schwannoma. You will have follow-up balance tests to see if the treatment affects your balance over time.
This pilot study looks at how well cochlear implants work for hearing restoration in people who previously received Gamma Knife treatment for a tumor called vestibular schwannoma. It may help doctors understand what hearing results to expect after surgery.
This trial tests whether physical therapy focused on balance and dizziness before surgery or targeted radiation (SRS) can improve how people with vestibular schwannoma (an acoustic tumor) feel and function. It aims to help prepare your balance system before treatment begins.
This study looks at how targeted brain/skull-base treatment for a vestibular schwannoma may affect hearing (ear “ototoxicity,” meaning damage to hearing). It may help doctors better predict and prevent hearing problems in people treated for this tumor.
This trial tests if early rehabilitation using a head movement test can help people recover balance after surgery for an inner ear tumor called a vestibular schwannoma.
This study tests whether brain “neurofeedback” training, along with a balance rehab plan, can help people with dizziness/balance symptoms from unilateral vestibular schwannoma. You may qualify if you can follow the study schedule and safely move your head and walk during testing.
