Timing to restart blood thinners after head injury bleeding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at when it is safest to restart blood thinners after a traumatic brain bleed. It compares restarting at 4 weeks versus 8 weeks in people on blood thinners before their injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a traumatic brain bleed within the past week.
- You were taking a blood thinner before your injury for atrial fibrillation or blood clots.
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your brain bleed is not just a chronic subdural hematoma.
- You do not have a mechanical heart valve.

This Phase 3 trial studies when it is safest to restart a common blood thinner (a DOAC) after a traumatic brain bleed. It may help reduce stroke or clot risk while lowering the chance of another bleeding episode.
This study follows people who had a serious, non-surgical stomach/intestine bleed while taking a blood thinner, and looks at when and how they restart a DOAC (a type of blood thinner). It may help your care team reduce the risk of another bleed while still preventing stroke or blood clots.
This trial compares restarting a blood thinner early (within a few days) versus later (after about a week) in people who have a chronic subdural hematoma drained and also have atrial fibrillation. The goal is to find out which timing helps prevent both new bleeding and blood clots.
This trial is testing the best time to start blood thinners (anticoagulation) after emergency stroke treatment in people who have atrial fibrillation. It is for patients who had a certain type of bleeding in the brain after the procedure.
This trial tests whether giving a platelet transfusion to patients with severe traumatic brain injury who are on antiplatelet medication can improve how well their blood clots. You may qualify if you have a serious brain bleed and are taking a medication like aspirin or clopidogrel.
This trial looks at whether starting brain surgery within 8 hours after a type of stroke called intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) can improve outcomes. It’s for adults with a certain amount and location of bleeding and without common causes like an aneurysm or malformation.
