Pre-Surgery balance training may steady patients with brain tumors
NCT ID NCT05702749
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether doing balance exercises (called PREHAB) for three weeks before surgery or radiation can improve stability in people with vestibular schwannoma, a non-cancerous brain tumor that affects balance. About 36 adults with small tumors will be assigned to either PREHAB or no extra therapy. Researchers will measure balance using a special machine before and after treatment to see if PREHAB makes a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
vestibular physical therapy (PREHAB)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that doing balance exercises before treatment helps patients recover better and have less dizziness after surgery or radiation.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 36 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It is too early to know if PREHAB truly helps.
