Best drainage method after burr hole for chronic subdural hematoma

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 study tests a new surgical approach for chronic subdural hematoma, a collection of old blood on the brain's surface. The method combines standard drainage with sealing a nearby blood vessel to reduce the chance of the blood coming back.

This trial compares two places on the skull to drain a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow collection of blood pressing on the brain). The goal is to see which approach is safer or more effective, which could help 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 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.
