Brain bleed survivors: does clot removal protect your memory years later?
NCT ID NCT05611918
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study follows 350 people who survived a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) and were part of earlier trials testing clot-removal surgery. Researchers will test memory, thinking, and movement over time using phone interviews and blood samples. The goal is to see if removing the clot reduces long-term cognitive decline and signs of ongoing brain inflammation.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that early surgical clot removal helps prevent long-term memory and thinking problems after a brain bleed.
What could go wrong
This is an observational follow-up study, not a new treatment trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to all stroke survivors.
