Minimally invasive brain surgery for large hemorrhages
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to remove large, spontaneous brain hemorrhages soon after they occur. The goal is to see if this quick, targeted procedure can improve recovery compared with standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 80 years old.
- You must have a large bleeding in the brain (at least 20 mL) that happened on its own, not from injury.
- The bleeding must be in the upper part of the brain, not in the deep or lower areas.
- You should have moderate to severe stroke symptoms at the time of hospital arrival.
- You must be able to start surgery within 2 hours of being randomly assigned, and doctors must decide within 16 hours of when symptoms began.
- You must not be on blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder, and you must not be pregnant.
- You cannot have a 'do not resuscitate' order, and you must want to pursue life-saving treatments.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 less invasive surgery to remove small blood clots (20–30 ml) in the basal ganglia, a deep part of the brain. It may help people who are awake but have a reduced level of consciousness after a recent brain bleed.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (soft channel drainage) to remove a large blood clot deep in the brain after a stroke. It is for people who can have the procedure within 48 hours of bleeding and whose consciousness is reduced but not completely gone.
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 tests if a minimally invasive surgery guided by a robotic AI system can help people with moderate bleeding deep inside the brain (basal ganglia). If you qualify, the surgery would happen within 72 hours of your stroke.
