Brain bleed surgery study in children after head injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how children under 18 do after surgery for a specific type of brain bleed (called an extradural or epidural hematoma) caused by a head injury. The goal is to understand what helps them heal better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 18 years old.
- You had a head injury that caused a blood clot outside the brain (extradural hematoma).
- You had surgery to remove that blood clot.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder.
- You do not have an autoimmune disease.
- You have not had previous surgery for this type of brain bleed.
- You do not have other types of brain bleeds (like subdural or subarachnoid).
- You do not have major facial fractures or other serious injuries to the chest, heart, or bones.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how well surgery works for people who have a spontaneous brain bleed (not from injury) and looks at factors that might affect recovery. It may help doctors better predict who benefits from surgery.
This observational study looks at how doctors treat an acute epidural hematoma in large head-injury surgeries as they would in routine care. It may help improve understanding of which real-world treatment choices lead to better outcomes.
This study looks at how to best treat and manage a chronic subdural hematoma (a collection of blood on the brain's surface) in children. It aims to find the best treatment for children who have this condition from causes other than head injury.
This study looks at people with bleeding inside the brain to see how different treatment choices are linked to recovery. It may help doctors choose the most effective approach for patients with similar bleeding patterns.
This trial looks at how people recover after surgery for a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). It aims to find the best timing for treatment to improve recovery. If you have had a brain bleed and are eligible for surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a type of keyhole surgery called neuroendoscopic surgery to remove large blood clots in the brain. It may help people who have had a serious brain bleed and need urgent surgery.
