Study for adults needing brain fluid drainage after brain bleeding or infection
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your doctor says you need drainage because of one of these: brain bleeding in the ventricles or around the brain, chronic subdural bleeding, or ventriculitis (brain infection)
- Your treating team believes you still need active treatment for that condition
- You (or a legally authorized representative) can sign consent to join the study
- Your pupils are not fixed and dilated (your doctor will check this)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 whether draining fluid from the lower back (called lumbar drainage) early after a brain bleed in the ventricles helps improve recovery. If you've had a bleed in the ventricles, this study may help reduce complications and improve outcomes.
This trial compares different ways to remove the temporary brain drain (external ventricular drain) after a non-traumatic brain bleed. The goal is to find the safest and most effective method to wean patients off the drain and reduce complications.
This study tests a tube placed in the lower back to help drain extra fluid caused by bleeding in the brain. It may help improve recovery after a stroke or brain bleed.
This study compares two types of drainage tubes used in people with a serious bleeding around the brain, aiming to prevent a complication called blood vessel spasm. If you qualify, it may help doctors learn which drainage method works best for safer recovery.
This trial studies whether giving a specific type of IV fluid (a salt-water fluid in the vein) after a type of brain bleed can improve neurological recovery. It focuses on adults with a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (a bleeding in the space around the brain) given soon after diagnosis.
