Post-operative Headache Outcomes in Acoustic Neuroma/Vestibular Schwannoma Patients
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is seeking acoustic neuroma/vestibular schwannoma patients treated primarily through surgery to complete a survey on how treatment affected their headache symptoms in the short and long term, and the impact of these symptoms.
Who can participate: Acoustic neuroma/vestibular schwannoma patients aged 18-89 who had surgery. You are also eligible to participate if you had radiation in addition to surgery.
The survey will take around 20-30 minutes to complete. You may leave the study at any time.
There is no direct benefit or compensation for participation in the study.
If you would like to learn more about these research studies or have questions, please feel free to contact us.
