NCT ID NCT06510842

First seen Jan 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looks at people who have a brain bleed that also fills the fluid spaces inside the brain, causing dangerous pressure. Normally, doctors place a drain in the head to remove fluid. This trial adds a second drain in the lower back to see if it helps patients recover better and avoid needing a permanent tube (shunt) later. About 354 adults will take part, and the goal is to improve function and reduce long-term complications.
