Neurofeedback training to improve balance in vestibular schwannoma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign an informed consent form and agree to join for the whole study
- You’re in generally good health, or you have a unilateral vestibular schwannoma
- You’re willing to follow the study’s SWAN and/or vestibular rehabilitation sessions
- You are not currently taking anti-nausea (antiemetic) medicine
- You don’t have neck or spine problems that limit head movement to less than 30 degrees
- You can walk and stand on your own (no orthopedic issue that makes this unsafe)

This trial tests whether an 8-week balance and movement program can help people with early-to-moderate Alzheimer’s who also have inner-ear (vestibular) balance loss. You and a caregiver may learn exercises and attend weekly visits, while researchers compare the results to an active control program.
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 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.
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.
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 tests a specialized therapy combining eye-gaze exercises and posture training to help people with dizziness, vertigo, or motion sickness related to inner-ear problems. The goal is to improve balance, reduce symptoms, and enhance quality of life.
