Virtual reality rehab after vestibular schwannoma surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial studies whether virtual reality (VR) exercises can help people recover movement and balance after surgery for a vestibular schwannoma. If you’re eligible, you may be asked to use VR as part of your rehabilitation program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had surgery for a vestibular schwannoma (a tumor that affects balance/hearing).
- Your surgery plan must be appropriate for removal (surgical resection).
- You should not have any eye disorder.
- You should not have a history of eye movement problems (oculomotor disorder).
- You should not have nerve palsy affecting nerves other than the eighth (hearing/balance) and the seventh (facial nerve).

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 trial tests if virtual reality-based optokinetic stimulation can help people with balance problems caused by reduced function in one inner ear. It may offer a new way to retrain your balance system.
This study looks at how well a home-based virtual reality (VR) vestibular therapy works for people with ongoing (chronic) balance problems, and whether results differ based on where the problem is in the inner ear. It may help your care team understand who benefits most from VR therapy.
This trial tests whether a special virtual-reality system that combines head movements and balance exercises can help improve walking and stability for people who have had a stroke. It is designed for those who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can walk with some help.
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.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program can help with balance and dizziness in people with a benign tumor on the hearing and balance nerve (acoustic neuroma). It may be a good fit if you have a medium to large tumor on one side.
