Acoustic Neuroma: Assessing the Quality of Life by the Scale PANQOL of Patients Operated or Supervised

Study Purpose

This study has investigated the quality of life of patients with vestibular schwannoma using this specific scale prospectively, whether treated surgically or monitored.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04004377
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

The PANQOL scale (Penn Acoustic Neuroma Quality-of-Life) is a specific questionnaire containing 26 items Interviewing 7 areas: hearing, balance, facial expression, anxiety, vitality, pain, and 'general health. The score is encrypted from 0 to 100, and the highest score is a reflection of the best possible quality of life. This score has been translated from French into English and validated according to the reverse translation rules by usual Oddon et al. Three questions for this score were added, evaluating quality of life parameters that seem particularly interesting: the first regarding the difficulties in driving, the second questioning the recovery of a "normal" life, and the third assessing difficulties in working life. The questionnaires are sent to the patient in the form of a custom web link generated on the online survey platform SurveyMonkey, and integrated into the body of an email sent from the mailbox of the investigator Hospital. There is any identifying or indirectly identifying data on the questionnaire online, guaranteeing protection of the rights of the individual. Only the principal investigator and co-investigator retain the link between the coded identity of persons undergoing research used to associate personal health data and their name (s) and name (s) (correspondence table retained securely to the paper).
