Surgery to remove surface brain bleeds using microsurgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special type of brain surgery to remove blood from a bleed near the surface of the brain. The goal is to see if using a precise, minimally invasive technique can improve recovery compared to standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a bleed in the outer layer of the brain (near the surface), not deep inside
- The size of the bleed is moderate (about 30 to 80 ml)
- You are conscious enough to have a Glasgow score of 5 to 14 (not in a deep coma)
- Surgery can be done within 16 hours of when the bleeding started
- You were living independently before this bleed (no major disability)

This study tests a new way to remove brain blood clots using a small tube and a clot-busting medicine (tenecteplase). It aims to help people recover better after a specific type of bleeding in the brain.
This trial tests whether removing the brain bleed with a small camera-guided surgery and giving a steroid medicine early can help people recover better. It is for people who have had a bleed in the outer part of the brain within the last day.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to remove large, spontaneous brain hemorrhages soon after they occur. The goal is to see if this quick, targeted procedure can improve recovery compared with standard care.
This trial tests whether removing a certain type of brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) very early, using a minimally invasive surgery approach, improves outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help people whose bleed is large enough and who can have surgery within a strict time window.
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive, image-guided endoscopic procedure can remove blood after a specific type of brain bleed. It may help reduce symptoms and improve outcomes compared with standard care, but you must meet timing and medical criteria.
This trial tests a less invasive surgery to remove small blood clots (20–30 ml) in the basal ganglia, a deep part of the brain. It may help people who are awake but have a reduced level of consciousness after a recent brain bleed.
