Prospective Study: Aspirin Therapy

(1/2) > >>

ANSydney:
I'd like to start a prospective study on the results following aspiring therapy. If you are on aspirin therapy please add to this post the current dimensions of your tumor. I'll maintain a table and we'll see over the years what the results are.

See http://www.anausa.org/smf/index.php?topic=23670.msg979775078#msg979775078 if you'd like to check the tumor dimensions yourself.

Even though rodneyd is not a prospective entry, I've included him.

Hi you crazy aspirin brigaders...  If you are taking a daily aspirin.  Please consider posting your MRI results on the chart that ANSydney has compiled.  I for one am on the list and would like to see the data from our group study.   We can self report.  What if an aspirin really helps? I am interested in finding out.

Peace,
Daoisthere

Muffin:
I am excited about the aspirin study, too, and faithfully taking my baby aspirin daily!  I see aspirin as gold now.  I am so hopeful!  I just believe there is something out there for us and this is a harmless enough pill to swallow, pun intended. :)

Information on past studies https://www.tinnitusformula.com/library/aspirin-slows-acoustic-neuroma-growth/

There is another article I found that claims NSAIDs May Halt Growth of Vestibular Schwannomas

Here is the study design - not yet recruiting. It uses 325 mg. aspirin, not baby aspirin, except in those weighing less than 110. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03079999

There is still a risk to taking aspirin or NSAIDS twice daily.

Personally, I am taking arnica twice daily. It has benefits of aspirin without the risks.

Thanks Judy...

Very encouraging studies. 

Thanks ANSydney...

For helping me find my way towards 'watch and wait', thus preserving my hearing. Here is an upbeat study.
