Summary

The study is a pilot efficacy study. The investigators aim to estimate mean baseline and post-treatment balance scores among Vestibular Schwannomas (VS) patients undergoing pretreatment rehab (PREHAB) or no PREHAB when managed with either surgery or radiosurgery.

Conditions

  • Vestibular Schwannoma

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Microsurgical resection of VS

Microsurgical resection of VSs can be accomplished by three approaches including middle cranial fossa, retrosigmoid, and translabyrinthine. The surgical approach utilized is typically selected on the basis of tumor location and size, and patient age and hearing status.

RADIATION

Stereotactic radiosurgery

Radiation therapy will be delivered using single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery with Gamma knife technology, or linear accelerator following institutional standard of care.

OTHER

PREHAB

A PREHAB visit will be done once weekly for 3 weeks to determine exercise regimen prior to surgery or radiotherapy. Therapy includes balance exercises (twice daily), gaze stabilization exercises (12-20 minutes daily), and habituation exercises (as applicable).
