Brain inflammation after bleeding stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how inflammation and the brain's protective barrier are affected after a hemorrhagic stroke. It uses special brain scans to see these changes, which might help guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You had a bleeding stroke in the brain within the last 48 hours.
- You are not in a coma and your bleeding is not very large (less than 60 ml).
- You do not have a known cause for the bleeding like an aneurysm or tumor.
- You can have an MRI and a PET scan safely (no metal implants, no severe kidney problems, not pregnant).
- You are not taking certain sedative medications (like benzodiazepines) in the week before the scan.

This study looks at a special scan (DSA, done with contrast dye) to find a likely “target” that doctors can use when treating sudden brain bleeding. It’s meant to help doctors better understand where treatment may be needed soon after symptoms start.
This study looks at two proteins in the blood that may be linked to brain swelling after a bleeding stroke (intracerebral hemorrhage). It aims to understand how the body's immune response affects recovery, which could lead to better treatments.
This study collects blood samples from people with and without bleeding risk to test a clot-dissolving drug (tPA) outside the body. It aims to improve minimally invasive surgery for brain hemorrhages.
This study looks for markers in your blood and brain scans that may help doctors better understand and predict outcomes after a spontaneous brain bleed. It is for people with high blood pressure who have had a bleed within the last three days.
This study is for people who had a spontaneous brain bleed and did not have surgery. It aims to learn more about their recovery and health over time.
This study looks at brain swelling (“cerebral edema”) after a spontaneous brain bleed and how it relates to outcomes. It mainly involves people who can have early care and MRI scans, to better understand what affects recovery.
