  This study is testing if blocking a specific artery can help people with chronic subdural hematomas feel better and recover safely.

  Recruiting Hyogo Medical University · Nishinomiya, Hyōgo · NCT06772740

• Registry for understanding chronic subdural hematoma

  This study is looking to gather information from adults with chronic subdural hematoma to see how different treatments work and improve care for future patients.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Erasmus Medical Center · Amsterdam and 1 other locations · NCT06759428

• Early versus later restart of blood thinners after surgery for chronic subdural hematoma in people with atrial fibrillation

  This trial will test whether restarting oral blood thinners 5 days versus 30 days after surgery is safer and better at preventing clots for adults with atrial fibrillation who had surgery for chronic subdural hematoma.

  Recruiting Helsinki University Central Hospital · Oulu, North Ostrobothnia and 5 other locations · NCT06696079

• Best drainage method after burr hole evacuation for chronic subdural hematoma

  This trial tests whether 24 hours of active subperiosteal drainage works as well as 24 hours of passive subdural drainage for adults having a single burr‑hole evacuation of a symptomatic chronic subdural hematoma.

  Recruiting at 4 sites Aalborg University Hospital · Aalborg and 3 other locations · NCT06621407

• Using body posture to prevent recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma after surgery

  This study is testing if certain sleeping positions can help prevent chronic subdural hematomas from coming back after surgery.

  Recruiting Huashan Hospital · Shanghai, Shanghai Municipality · NCT06401772

• Comparing embolization and surgery for chronic subdural hematoma treatment

  This study is testing if a new procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization can be a safer and more effective option than traditional surgery for people with chronic subdural hematomas.

  Recruiting at 28 sites The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston · Phoenix, Arizona and 30 other locations · NCT06347796

• Investigating spinal CSF leaks in patients with chronic subdural hematoma

  Recruiting University of Freiburg · Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Wurttemberg · NCT06323434

• Evaluating outcomes of middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma

  This study tests if a new, less invasive treatment called middle meningeal artery embolization can safely help adults with chronic subdural hematoma and reduce the chances of it coming back.

  Recruiting at 13 sites Montefiore Medical Center · Coral Gables, Florida and 21 other locations · NCT06181994

• Minimally invasive treatment for chronic subdural hematoma using cyanoacrylate embolization

  This study is testing if adding a new, less invasive treatment using glue to standard surgery can help people with chronic subdural hematoma have better outcomes and lower chances of the condition coming back.
