Brain surgery upgrade: could a simple extra step stop bleeding from coming back?

NCT ID NCT07549893

First seen Apr 28, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests if surgeons can safely add a small step—cauterizing tiny blood vessels—during standard brain drainage surgery for chronic subdural hematoma (a type of brain bleed common in older adults). About 30 adults will take part. The goal is to see if the extra step is feasible and safe, not yet to prove it works. No extra scans or radiation are needed.
