Passier L, Doherty D, Smith J, McPhail S. Vestibular rehabilitation following removal of acoustic neuroma: a systematic review of randomised trials. Head Neck Oncol. 2012 Sep 9;4(2):59.

Conclusion There is some evidence to support use of adaptation exercises for this clinical group. Clinical trial evidence does not support the use of habituation exercises alone, although when combined with adaptation exercises and balance and gait training, habituation exercises may have some benefit. Further research is required to determine the optimal combination of vestibular rehabilitation interventions, as well as volume and timing of interventions.
