Gentle washing of brain fluid spaces for newborn bleeding
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure called neuroendoscopic lavage, which uses a small camera and fluid to gently wash out blood from the fluid spaces in a newborn's brain after a severe bleeding. It aims to reduce pressure and help prevent further damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be 28 days old or younger when starting the study.
- Your baby must have a severe grade of bleeding in the brain, called grade III or IV on the Papile scale.
- You, as a parent or legal guardian, must agree in writing that your baby can be in the study.
- Your baby cannot have milder bleeding (grade I or II)
- Your baby cannot have serious brain birth defects or other life-threatening conditions.
- Your baby cannot have an infection in the brain or spine, or a bleeding problem that can't be corrected.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at ways to prevent, find early, and manage bleeding in the brain and the fluid buildup that can follow in premature babies. If your baby had such bleeding and fluid buildup, the study may offer close monitoring and care to help improve outcomes.
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 study uses advanced MRI scans to look closely at the brains of babies who have had a bleed and fluid buildup. The goal is to understand the condition better and help guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests a non-invasive ultrasound device to help clear blood clots from the brain after a spontaneous bleed. It may be an option for people with small to medium-sized bleeds who do not need surgery.
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.
This trial tests whether draining fluid from the lower back (called lumbar drainage) early after a brain bleed in the ventricles helps improve recovery. If you've had a bleed in the ventricles, this study may help reduce complications and improve outcomes.
