Hidden infection may drive dangerous brain bleed recurrence in seniors

NCT ID NCT07556991

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a hidden infection in the brain's lining causes chronic subdural hematoma (a type of brain bleed) to return after surgery. About 164 adults having surgery for this condition will be randomly assigned to receive antibiotics or a placebo after the operation. The goal is to see if antibiotics reduce the need for repeat surgery within six months.
