Ultrasound treatment after brain bleed surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a special form of ultrasound through the skull can improve recovery after a spontaneous brain bleed that requires minimally invasive surgery. It may help by targeting the damaged brain tissue after evacuation, and the study will follow participants for up to a year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 years or older.
- You had a spontaneous brain bleed in the upper part of the brain (not the brainstem) measuring at least 20 mL.
- At the time of presentation, your stroke severity score (NIHSS) was 6 or higher and your consciousness score (GCS) was between 5 and 15.
- You are getting minimally invasive brain-bleed evacuation using a procedure called sonolucent cranioplasty or hemicraniectomy with sonolucent cranioplasty.
- The bleeding is not from a known secondary cause like a blood-vessel malformation, aneurysm, tumor, or bleed caused by a prior stroke.
- Your blood clotting tests and medications at the time of the bleed must not be too abnormal (for example INR over 1.4, low platelets under 100, or certain blood thinners).

This trial uses a special clear implant in the skull to take ultrasound images of the brain. It may help doctors monitor patients after surgery without extra radiation.
This trial tests a non-invasive ultrasound device to help clear blood clots from the brain after a spontaneous bleed. It may be an option for people with small to medium-sized bleeds who do not need surgery.
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 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.
This study records and compares outcomes for people with a specific kind of sudden brain bleeding (intracerebral hemorrhage) using minimally invasive surgery. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and improve future care decisions.
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.
