Robot-assisted surgery for brainstem hemorrhage
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, less invasive surgery using a robot to help guide the doctor to drain blood from a brainstem bleed. It may be an option for people who can have surgery soon after the bleed and who have a certain level of consciousness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your brain bleed (hematoma) is in the brainstem and is at least 3 mL in size.
- Your level of consciousness (GCS score) is between 3 and 12.
- Surgery can happen within 48 hours of the bleed starting.
- Before this event, you had no major disability (mRS 0 or 1).
- You do not have any other major brain bleed, an aneurysm, or a blood clotting problem.

This study tests a robot-assisted procedure to remove bleeding in the brain that happens after stroke treatment. The procedure uses a small tube to drain the blood, and a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) may be injected to help break up the clot. It aims to reduce pressure in the brain and improve recovery.
This trial tests a less invasive surgery to remove small blood clots (20–30 ml) in the basal ganglia, a deep part of the brain. It may help people who are awake but have a reduced level of consciousness after a recent brain bleed.
This trial tests if a minimally invasive surgery guided by a robotic AI system can help people with moderate bleeding deep inside the brain (basal ganglia). If you qualify, the surgery would happen within 72 hours of your stroke.
This trial tests a new, less invasive brain surgery using a robotic arm guided by artificial intelligence (AI) to remove a large blood clot caused by a hemorrhagic stroke in the basal ganglia. It may be an option for people who can have surgery soon after the stroke and were previously independent.
This trial tests a minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery to remove bleeding inside the brain's fluid-filled spaces, which can happen after a stroke or injury. It aims to improve recovery by clearing the blood and reducing pressure on the brain.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to drain blood from a bleed in the brain stem. It aims to reduce pressure and improve recovery in patients with severe bleeding who arrive at the hospital quickly.
