Pre-Surgery balance exercises may speed recovery from brain tumor surgery
NCT ID NCT07364955
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether doing balance exercises before and after surgery can improve recovery in adults with a non-cancerous brain tumor called vestibular schwannoma. 75 participants will be split into three groups: one gets no extra training, one does home-based balance exercises, and one adds special chair rotations. The goal is to see if these exercises reduce dizziness and shorten hospital stays.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- vestibular rehabilitation (balance exercises with or without rotatory chair stimulation)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a standard rehab program to help people recover faster and with less dizziness after vestibular schwannoma surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (75 people) comparing different rehab approaches. It may not show clear benefits, and results may not apply to all patients.
