Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The changes in objective vestibular test results and dizziness related QoL during follow-up. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • To correlate the pre-operative vestibular function with the post-operative patient vestibular disability and handicap. • To correlate the irradiation dose-volume to the vestibular organs with vestibulo-toxicity after radiotherapy. • To correlate the natural development of the vestibular function over time in active surveillance. • To determine the effect of ITG in the vestibular function and vestibular complaints, with objective and subjective vestibular tests. • To correlate the questionnaires (DHI, PANQOL and SF-36) results with vestibular function. | — |
