Catheter system to drain brain fluid in bleeding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have bleeding into the brain fluid spaces confirmed by a CT or MRI scan
- A doctor thinks you need cerebrospinal fluid drainage (draining brain fluid)
- Treatment can start within 72 hours of when the bleeding began
- You (or your legal representative) can sign informed consent
- The doctor believes this active treatment is appropriate for you

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 special drain to help reduce dangerous brain swelling after a severe head injury. It may help patients who need this drain and are in the intensive care unit.
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 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 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 trial is testing whether a new locking system for the tube that drains fluid from the brain (ventriculostomy) is safe and works well in people with traumatic brain injury. It may help reduce complications from the drainage tube after a severe head injury.
