Brain wave calming drug tested to speed recovery after common elderly brain surgery

NCT ID NCT04966546

Summary

This study aimed to see if a drug called memantine could calm harmful brain waves that sometimes occur after surgery for a chronic subdural hematoma (a fluid collection that squeezes the brain). Researchers planned to monitor patients' brain activity after surgery and give the drug to some to see if it reduced these waves and helped them recover better. The trial was withdrawn early and did not enroll any participants.
