CT and CTA scans for brain bleed care
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well CT and CTA scans help guide care for people with a brain bleed (cerebral hemorrhage). By comparing scans taken right away and again within 24 hours, doctors hope to learn more about the best timing for these tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with a brain bleed (hemorrhage) by a CT scan when you arrived at the hospital.
- You had a CT scan and a special detailed CT scan (CTA) within 8 hours of when your symptoms started.
- You had another CT scan within 24 hours of being admitted.
- Your medical records are complete and available for research.
- You are not taking long-term blood thinners and do not have a blood disease that affects clotting.
- The brain bleed is not caused by an injury, a tumor, a malformed blood vessel, or an aneurysm.

This study looks at people who come to the emergency room with a bleeding stroke (called intracerebral hemorrhage). It aims to learn more about the condition by studying blood tests and brain scans, to find ways to improve outcomes.
This study looks at whether a simple CT scan done within the first day can help predict how well people recover after a brain bleed. It might help doctors better understand your condition and plan your care.
This study tests whether a computer program can use your first CT scan to predict if bleeding inside your brain might get worse. It could help doctors decide on the best care for your type of brain hemorrhage.
This trial is testing a set of standard care steps (a 'care bundle') for people who have a sudden brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) that shows up on a CT scan. It aims to see if this bundle improves recovery and outcomes.
This study looks at what happens to people after a bleed in the brain. It will help doctors understand how people recover, so they can improve care for future patients.
This study looks at people who have had a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) that was not caused by an injury. It aims to learn more about who gets this type of stroke and how it affects them, which may help improve care.
