Seizure prevention medicine for brain bleed recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medicine called levetiracetam can help people recover better after a brain bleed. Half of the participants will receive the medicine, and half will receive a placebo. The goal is to see if this medicine can help improve recovery.

This trial tests whether giving a drug called tranexamic acid (helps stop bleeding) along with very careful blood pressure lowering can reduce bleeding growth and improve recovery after a brain bleed. It is for people who arrive at the hospital very quickly (within 2 hours) after symptoms start.
This study looks at two medicines (phenytoin and levetiracetam) to see which works better for treating or preventing seizures that can happen after a traumatic brain injury. It aims to find the safest and most effective option for patients.
