Herbal formula for chronic subdural hematoma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is testing a Chinese herbal formula (HuoXue LiShui) to see if it can help shrink chronic subdural hematomas—a collection of blood on the brain—without the need for surgery. If you have a stable hematoma and are not on blood thinners, this oral treatment might be a good option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two surgical techniques—using a small endoscope (camera) versus a single burr hole—to drain blood from a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain surface). The goal is to see which method leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
This trial tests if a medication called tranexamic acid can help treat chronic subdural hematomas (a type of bleeding on the brain) without surgery. It's for patients who have this condition but don't need immediate surgery.
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.
This trial studies a procedure called middle-meningeal-artery embolization, which blocks the blood supply to a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow-growing blood collection around the brain). It compares outcomes in people with one-sided versus both-sided bleeds, and aims to see if this less invasive treatment can help reduce the need for surgery or improve recovery.
This trial is testing a new, step-by-step care plan (called an enhanced recovery pathway) for people who need a small hole drilled in their skull to drain a slow-growing blood clot (chronic subdural hematoma). The goal is to see if this organized approach helps patients recover faster and feel better.
This trial compares different ways to drain a chronic subdural hematoma after a single burr hole procedure. It aims to find which method works best to help your brain recover.
