NCT ID NCT07696598
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study looks at children under 18 who need emergency surgery for a type of brain bleed called an extradural hematoma after a head injury. Researchers will track their recovery using a standard scale for childhood head injuries. The goal is to understand which factors lead to better neurological outcomes after surgery.
