What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
emergency craniotomy
What this could lead to
If successful, this research could help doctors better predict recovery and refine surgical timing for children with traumatic brain bleeds.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The study is observational and does not test a new treatment.
