How far along is this research?
This is a trial that is enrolling or has been updated. It is not a finding yet.
No phase is listed for this study, so we treat it as early work.
Status: Recruiting. It is looking for patients now. Talk to your care team about whether it fits you.

The short version
This study uses brain scans to look at how balance areas of the brain work.
Who this trial is for. It is for people who have balance damage on one side, mainly after vestibular schwannoma surgery. Healthy people take part too, so the two groups can be compared.
Where it stands. The study is measuring how balance centers in the brain switch on. It also asks if care given after surgery can change that. No results have been reported yet.
What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: Work like this may help doctors better understand balance problems after this surgery. Someone who fits might ask their care team about it.
What it doesn't mean: This does not mean a new treatment has been shown to work. A trial is a test, not proven care. Joining one is not a promise that it will help you. It is not a cure.
