Coiling for chronic subdural hematoma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a non-acute (not sudden) subdural hematoma, which is a blood collection pressing on the brain, as seen on a CT scan.
- Your doctor has decided to use a procedure called coiling (placing tiny coils) or other embolic materials to block the blood supply to the hematoma, as part of your standard care.
- You are able to give consent, or a legal representative can do so for you.

This trial compares a newer, less invasive treatment (embolization) with traditional surgery to treat chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain). It aims to see which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
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.
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 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 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.
