Clearing blood clots in brain's drainage veins
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure to remove blood clots from the large veins that drain blood from the brain (called venous sinuses). It aims to improve symptoms like severe headaches, vision problems, and other effects of this condition for patients who have had symptoms for less than 3 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of blood clots in the brain's large drainage veins (cerebral venous sinus thrombosis) on imaging tests.
- Your symptoms must have started within the last 21 days.
- You must have at least one sign of serious condition, such as severe headache, vision changes, weakness, seizures, confusion, or bleeding in the brain caused by the clot.
- You need to be willing to give informed consent (or have a legal representative do it).

This study uses MRI scans to look at how the brain's waste-clearing system (glymphatic function) and white matter are affected in people with cerebral venous disorders (either narrowing or blood clots in the brain's veins). It aims to improve understanding of these conditions, which may lead to better treatments.
This study follows people who have a blood clot in the brain’s venous drainage system. It aims to better understand this condition and may help improve how it is recognized and managed.
This study is for people who have been diagnosed with cerebral venous thrombosis (a blood clot in the brain’s venous system) at specific hospitals. It looks back at cases from 2014 to 2023 to learn from real-world patients.
This study looks at the blood clots removed from the brain during a procedure called thrombectomy. By studying them, researchers hope to learn more about how to treat strokes and what causes them, which could help improve care.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular therapy (a way to remove the blood clot using a catheter) for people with a severe stroke caused by a large blockage in the back of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
This study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from blocked brain arteries works for people who have had a stroke. It aims to see what factors help people recover better, which could help guide treatment decisions.
