Endovascular Embolization for Chronic Subdural Hematomas Following Surgical Evacuation

Study on endovascular embolization for chronic subdural hematomas post-surgery.

Recruiting
18-90 years
All
Phase N/A

Endovascular Embolization is a procedure where doctors block blood flow in a vessel to treat or prevent problems. In this study, doctors want to see if this technique helps with Chronic Subdural Hematomas (SDHs), which are blood clots on the brain's surface. These clots often happen in older people and can come back after surgery. Traditional treatment involves surgery to remove the clots. The new method, endovascular embolization, could reduce the chance of these clots returning.

Participants in the study will either have surgery alone or surgery followed by the endovascular embolization. The goal is to find out if the new method is better at preventing the clots from coming back.

  • The study includes adults aged 18-90.
  • Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: surgery only or surgery plus embolization.
  • This study is important for reducing hospital stays and additional surgeries.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
