NCT ID NCT06621407

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study tests if a 24-hour active drain placed under the scalp works as well as a 24-hour passive drain placed under the brain's outer layer after surgery for chronic subdural hematoma (a blood clot on the brain). About 354 adults in Denmark will take part. The goal is to see which method better prevents the clot from coming back and reduces the risk of death within 90 days.
