Coil treatment for chronic blood clot on the brain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment for a chronic blood clot on the brain that is causing symptoms. The treatment uses small coils to block the blood flow that feeds the clot, and may be done along with standard drainage surgery. This could help prevent the clot from coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been able to manage daily activities on your own before the blood clot (with little or no help).
- You must have symptoms from the blood clot that require treatment.
- You must not have a recent (acute) blood clot on the brain from an injury.
- You must not have any other mass or tumor in the brain besides the blood clot.
- If you are a woman who can become pregnant, you must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study is a registry for people with a subdural hematoma (a blood collection on the surface of the brain) who are planning to have a procedure to block one of the arteries in the scalp. The registry will track how these patients do over time.
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.
This trial tests a procedure that blocks blood flow to the membrane around the brain to treat a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow buildup of blood pressing on the brain). It may help avoid surgery and reduce symptoms like headaches, confusion, or weakness.
This trial tests a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization, which aims to stop the bleeding and reduce the fluid buildup from a chronic subdural hematoma. It may be an option for patients who have a hematoma at least 10mm thick and one or more risk factors such as older age, blood thinners, diabetes, or certain scan features.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to treat chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain). It aims to stop the bleeding and reduce the risk of needing surgery.
This study tests a new way to treat chronic subdural hematomas (a type of bleeding on the brain) by using a very thin tube to seal off a small artery inside the head. This may help the blood clot shrink without needing a traditional surgery.
