Brain artery treatment for chronic subdural hematoma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to treat chronic subdural hematomas (a type of bleeding on the brain) by using a very thin tube to seal off a small artery inside the head. This may help the blood clot shrink without needing a traditional surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 100 years old
- You must have a chronic subdural hematoma on the top or side of your brain
- You must be able to consent to treatment
- If your blood clot causes symptoms, you can join the study
- If your blood clot is large but not causing symptoms, you can join after at least 6 weeks of non-surgical treatment that hasn't worked

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization (using tiny particles to block a small artery) to treat chronic subdural hematoma, a condition where blood slowly builds up on the brain's surface. The goal is to help the body reabsorb the blood and prevent the need for repeated surgeries.
This study tracks patients who get a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization (a treatment that blocks blood flow to the lining of the brain to help a chronic subdural hematoma heal). The goal is to see how well it works and how patients recover over time.
This trial tests a procedure that blocks blood flow to the membrane around the brain to treat a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow buildup of blood pressing on the brain). It may help avoid surgery and reduce symptoms like headaches, confusion, or weakness.
This trial tests a new technique during surgery for chronic subdural haematoma (bleeding between the brain and skull) where doctors use heat or special tools to seal a blood vessel (the middle meningeal artery) to help prevent the bleed from returning. The goal is to see if this addition to standard surgery is safe and feasible.
This trial tests a treatment for a chronic blood clot on the brain that is causing symptoms. The treatment uses small coils to block the blood flow that feeds the clot, and may be done along with standard drainage surgery. This could help prevent the clot from coming back.
This trial compares a newer, less invasive treatment (embolization) with traditional surgery to treat chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain). It aims to see which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
