Study of real-world treatment for acute epidural bleeding after injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This observational study looks at how doctors treat an acute epidural hematoma in large head-injury surgeries as they would in routine care. It may help improve understanding of which real-world treatment choices lead to better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a recent traumatic brain injury with a clear medical history
- You are within 12 hours of the injury when you are evaluated
- Your first CT scan shows a one-sided (unilateral) acute epidural hematoma above the brain’s tentorium (supratentorial)
- Your neurosurgeon believes it should be treated with surgery to remove the blood clot
- You (or your legal representative) can consent to surgery and to join the study

This trial tests a new way to treat a blood clot outside the brain (epidural hematoma) after a head injury. Instead of surgery, doctors use a thin tube to block the artery feeding the clot, which may help the body absorb the clot more safely.
This study looks at how older adults recover from bleeding in the brain caused by a head injury, when they are treated without surgery. It aims to understand what affects their recovery and outcomes.
This study looks at people with bleeding inside the brain to see how different treatment choices are linked to recovery. It may help doctors choose the most effective approach for patients with similar bleeding patterns.
This study compares different surgery methods used in the ER within 24 hours of a traumatic brain injury to see which works best at reducing pressure in the brain. It aims to help people with severe head injuries and bleeding in the brain get the most effective urgent treatment.
This study looks at how children under 18 do after surgery for a specific type of brain bleed (called an extradural or epidural hematoma) caused by a head injury. The goal is to understand what helps them heal better.
This study looks at patients who had surgery to remove part of the skull after bleeding from a brain aneurysm. It aims to understand who might benefit from this procedure and how it affects recovery.
