Early surgery plus steroid medicine for brain bleeds
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether removing the brain bleed with a small camera-guided surgery and giving a steroid medicine early can help people recover better. It is for people who have had a bleed in the outer part of the brain within the last day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- The bleed is in the outer part of the brain, and it is not caused by an injury or another condition.
- The size of the bleed is between 30 and 80 milliliters (about 1 to 2.7 ounces).
- Treatment must start within 24 hours of the bleed starting.
- You have noticeable stroke symptoms and a certain level of consciousness (not too mild, not too deep).
- You were able to do your usual daily activities before the bleed (score 0–1 on a disability scale).

This trial compares removing the brain bleed with a small camera-guided surgery plus giving a steroid medication (methylprednisolone) to reduce swelling, versus standard care. It aims to improve recovery after a specific type of stroke in the basal ganglia region.
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.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to remove blood from the brain in people who had a bleeding stroke. It aims to see if doing this quickly can help patients recover better.
This study tests a special type of brain surgery to remove blood from a bleed near the surface of the brain. The goal is to see if using a precise, minimally invasive technique can improve recovery compared to standard care.
This study tests a new way to remove brain blood clots using a small tube and a clot-busting medicine (tenecteplase). It aims to help people recover better after a specific type of bleeding in the brain.
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.
