Early minimally invasive surgery for intracerebral hemorrhage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether doing a small operation early after a bleeding stroke in the brain improves recovery compared to standard care. It may help people who have a certain size of bleeding and are still able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a bleeding stroke (intracerebral hemorrhage) diagnosed by brain scan.
- You can start the procedure within 8 hours of the stroke starting, and be assigned to treatment within 6 hours.
- The bleeding amount is between 20 and 80 mL (about the size of a golf ball to a small egg).
- Your stroke symptoms are moderate to severe (NIHSS score 8 or higher).
- You are not fully unconscious (GCS score 8 or higher).
- You are not on certain blood thinners (warfarin or low-molecular-weight heparin). Direct oral anticoagulants are allowed.
- You do not have other conditions that would make the surgery unsafe or affect your recovery.

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 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.
This study tests if removing a large brain clot early using a small tube and clot-dissolving medicine can improve recovery after a hemorrhagic stroke. It is for people with a moderate to large bleed who can start treatment within 12 hours of symptoms.
This trial tests whether using a small camera and a tube to very quickly remove a brain bleed through a tiny hole in the skull improves recovery compared to standard medical care. It is for people who have a large, non-traumatic brain hemorrhage and can have surgery within a few hours of the bleed.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to remove blood clots deep in the brain caused by spontaneous bleeding. It aims to improve recovery for patients who meet specific criteria, such as clot size and time since symptoms started.
This trial looks at whether starting brain surgery within 8 hours after a type of stroke called intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) can improve outcomes. It’s for adults with a certain amount and location of bleeding and without common causes like an aneurysm or malformation.
