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 whether doing a small operation early after a bleeding stroke in the brain improves recovery compared to standard care. It may help people who have a certain size of bleeding and are still able to participate.
This trial tests a procedure that uses a small camera to remove the blood clot from the brain, combined with a steroid medication, to reduce damage from a brain bleed. It may be an option for people with a moderate-to-large brain bleed in the outer part of the brain who can be treated within 24 hours.
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 whether using a small camera and a tube to very quickly remove a brain bleed through a tiny hole in the skull improves recovery compared to standard medical care. It is for people who have a large, non-traumatic brain hemorrhage and can have surgery within a few hours of the bleed.
