CHRONIC SUBDURAL HEMATOMA

This study tests whether injecting a medical glue into an artery in the brain can prevent chronic subdural hematomas from coming back. These are blood collections on the brain's surface that often recur after standard treatment. The trial will enroll 550 adults and compare glue e…

This trial tests whether applying a cold, non-thermal plasma (a kind of energized gas) to the surgical site during standard drainage of a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow brain bleed) can lower the chance it comes back. Forty adults needing surgery will be randomly assigned to g…

This study compares a minimally invasive procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) to standard open surgery for treating chronic subdural hematoma, a type of brain bleed. About 520 moderately symptomatic adults aged 40-90 will be randomly assigned to one of the…

This study tests an enhanced recovery protocol for older adults who need surgery for a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow brain bleed). The protocol includes updated treatment decisions, surgical tweaks, and standardized aftercare. Researchers will compare 150 patients on this new…

This trial tests whether using a tiny camera (neuroendoscope) to guide the removal of a chronic subdural hematoma—a blood clot pressing on the brain—works better than the standard burr hole drainage. About 770 adults with symptoms like headache or weakness will be randomly assign…

This study looks back at medical records of 5,000 adults who had a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) for chronic subdural hematoma, a condition where blood collects on the brain. The goal is to see how well the procedure works, how often the blood comes…

This study tests a new microcatheter device (Aristotle 14 guidewire and Plato 17 microcatheter) for treating chronic subdural hematoma, a type of brain bleed. About 100 adults will be randomly assigned to receive the new device or the surgeon's usual choice. Researchers will comp…

This study tests whether adding tranexamic acid (a drug that helps blood clot) to standard surgery can lower the chance of needing another surgery for chronic subdural hematoma, a condition where blood collects around the brain. About 274 adults scheduled for surgery will be rand…

This study compares two types of drainage after surgery for chronic subdural hematoma (a blood collection on the brain). 354 adults in Denmark will receive either active drainage under the scalp or passive drainage under the brain's outer layer for 24 hours. The goal is to see wh…

This study looks at whether people with a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow brain bleed) who are already taking aspirin should continue or stop it while receiving non-surgical care. Researchers will follow 143 participants for 6 months to see if the hematoma comes back or worsens…

This study tests whether a specific body posture—raising the legs and tilting the head—can prevent chronic subdural hematoma from recurring after surgery. The trial will enroll 830 older adults who have had surgery for this type of brain bleed. Participants will be randomly assig…
