Early rehab after inner ear tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a single inner ear tumor scheduled for surgery
- Your inner ear function is partially preserved before surgery
- You are not receiving radiation to the tumor before surgery
- You do not have tumors on both sides
- You are not taking medications that affect eye movement

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
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 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.
