Surgery for large brain bleeds
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of keyhole surgery called neuroendoscopic surgery to remove large blood clots in the brain. It may help people who have had a serious brain bleed and need urgent surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your brain bleed happened within the last 24 hours and is large (at least 50 ml) or causing dangerous pressure.
- You are conscious enough to have a score of 5–14 on a coma scale and have moderate to severe stroke symptoms.
- You had no major disability before the bleed (able to do daily activities on your own).
- You do not have other causes for the bleed like an aneurysm or tumor, and you are not in a coma with no chance of recovery.

This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to remove blood clots deep in the brain after a spontaneous bleed. It may help patients with moderate to large bleeds who are at least 18 and up to 80 years old.
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive, image-guided endoscopic procedure can remove blood after a specific type of brain bleed. It may help reduce symptoms and improve outcomes compared with standard care, but you must meet timing and medical criteria.
This trial looks at how people recover after surgery for a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). It aims to find the best timing for treatment to improve recovery. If you have had a brain bleed and are eligible for surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive brain surgery using an endoscope can improve outcomes for people with a deep brain bleed. It also studies the safety of this approach compared with standard care.
This trial tests a procedure that uses a small camera to remove the blood clot from the brain, combined with a steroid medication, to reduce damage from a brain bleed. It may be an option for people with a moderate-to-large brain bleed in the outer part of the brain who can be treated within 24 hours.
This trial tests whether removing a certain type of brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) very early, using a minimally invasive surgery approach, improves outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help people whose bleed is large enough and who can have surgery within a strict time window.
