Brain surgery showdown: which method saves more lives after trauma?
NCT ID NCT04261673
Summary
This study compares two emergency brain surgery techniques for people with severe head injuries who have a dangerous blood clot pressing on their brain. Researchers are testing whether leaving part of the skull open (decompressive craniectomy) or replacing it immediately (craniotomy) leads to better recovery, fewer complications, and lower costs. The trial involves 120 patients across multiple hospitals who need surgery within 12 hours of their injury.
