Surgery soon after brain bleed vs standard care
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether removing a certain type of brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) very early, using a minimally invasive surgery approach, improves outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help people whose bleed is large enough and who can have surgery within a strict time window.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have a sudden brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) in the brain’s upper parts (not the brainstem).
- The bleed size is at least 20 mL on the scan, or smaller but getting worse with brain bleeding expansion (doctors use set volume rules).
- Surgery must be able to start within 8 hours from the last time you were known well (or within 8 hours of waking up with symptoms).
- Your neurologic symptoms are moderate to severe (NIHSS score 6 or higher).
- Before the bleed, you were mostly independent (pre-stroke mRS 0–3).
- A CT angiogram (CTA) or MRI angiogram (MRA) finds no hidden blood-vessel problem causing the bleed.

This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to remove blood from the brain in people who had a bleeding stroke. It aims to see if doing this quickly can help patients recover better.
This trial tests whether removing the brain bleed with a small camera-guided surgery and giving a steroid medicine early can help people recover better. It is for people who have had a bleed in the outer part of the brain within the last day.
This trial looks at whether starting brain surgery within 8 hours after a type of stroke called intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) can improve outcomes. It’s for adults with a certain amount and location of bleeding and without common causes like an aneurysm or malformation.
This trial looks at how people recover after surgery for a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). It aims to find the best timing for treatment to improve recovery. If you have had a brain bleed and are eligible for surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive, image-guided endoscopic procedure can remove blood after a specific type of brain bleed. It may help reduce symptoms and improve outcomes compared with standard care, but you must meet timing and medical criteria.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to remove large, spontaneous brain hemorrhages soon after they occur. The goal is to see if this quick, targeted procedure can improve recovery compared with standard care.
