Vestibular rehab for acoustic neuroma patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have a unilateral vestibular schwannoma (tumor on one side of the nerve connecting your ear to your brain)
- Your tumor is 1.5 to 4 cm in size (about the size of a small grape to a walnut)
- You do not have a degenerative neurological condition (like Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis)
- You have not had a stroke or other brain blood vessel problems
- You do not have any muscle or bone deformities that limit movement

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 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.
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 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 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.
