Irrigation procedure to help clear brain bleeding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a method to actively flush (irrigate) and help remove an active brain bleed inside the brain. It may help some adults recover better by improving how the blood is cleared after bleeding starts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years
- Your care team says you need an EVD drain (a tube to release fluid from the brain)
- You started active treatment for this brain bleed
- You can sign an informed consent form
- The bleeding area is up to 30 square centimeters
- Treatment starts within 72 hours of the bleeding beginning

This trial tests a clot-busting drug (rhTNK-tPA) to remove blood from the ventricles (fluid spaces deep in the brain) after a spontaneous brain bleed. It may help patients whose ventricles are blocked by a large clot, reducing pressure and improving recovery.
This study looks at patients age 18+ who need a procedure to drain brain fluid after certain brain bleeds (like intraventricular or subarachnoid bleeding, or chronic subdural bleeding) or after ventriculitis. It aims to better understand and improve care for people with these serious conditions.
This trial tests whether draining fluid from the lower spine early can help patients recover better after bleeding into the brain's fluid chambers. The goal is to reduce pressure and improve outcomes in people who have had a stroke-like brain bleed.
This trial tests a special catheter system used to drain cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around the brain and spinal cord) in adults with bleeding into the brain’s fluid spaces. It may help because doctors can use the catheter soon after the bleeding to manage fluid and pressure.
This trial tests a system that continuously bathes the brain with fluid to wash away blood after a brain bleed, which may help recovery.
This trial tests a combination of medications to limit bleeding and control blood pressure after a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). Participation may help doctors learn the best way to reduce damage from the bleed.
