Glue injection for chronic subdural hematoma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether injecting a medical glue into a specific artery in the brain can safely treat a chronic subdural hematoma (a collection of blood on the brain's surface) or a recurrent subdural hematoma. This approach may offer a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This trial looks at whether a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization can help stop chronic subdural hematoma (slow bleeding/collection under the brain covering) from coming back after your first surgery. It studies an added endovascular treatment right after your operation to reduce recurrence.
This trial tests a procedure called coiling (placing tiny coils) to block the blood supply to a chronic subdural hematoma, a slow-growing blood collection around the brain. It may help reduce the need for surgery and improve recovery.
This trial tests a new technique during surgery for chronic subdural haematoma (bleeding between the brain and skull) where doctors use heat or special tools to seal a blood vessel (the middle meningeal artery) to help prevent the bleed from returning. The goal is to see if this addition to standard surgery is safe and feasible.
This trial studies whether an add-on, minimally invasive procedure works better than standard care for a specific brain blood-vessel problem (CSH) that is larger than 10 mm. It may help reduce symptoms or prevent worsening, if you meet the size and location requirements.
