Objective: Our study aims to shed light on racial, ethnic, and geographic disparities in phase 2/3 Meniere's disease (MD) clinical trials, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the inclusivity and effectiveness of future MD research.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review of phase 2/3 MD Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs). Using the search terms "Meniere's Disease" and "Endolymphatic hydrops", we searched ClinicalTrials.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to evaluate how different cochlear dose parameters affect hearing outcomes in patients with sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) who have serviceable hearing after undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
  • A total of 205 patients were analyzed over a period from 2007 to 2022, revealing that 62% of patients maintained serviceable hearing at 2 years, while this dropped to 15% by 10 years post-treatment.
  • Results showed a significant association between increased minimum cochlear dose and faster decline in hearing, indicating that this dose parameter should be a key consideration in planning radiosurgery for VS patients.
