Active clinical trials for "Cerebral Hemorrhage"

The main purpose of this study is to determine whether deferoxamine and xingnaojing injection is effective and safe as a treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage.

In order to determine the effectiveness and safety of early vitamin K1 use in reducing the risk of bleeding and improving prognosis in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (excluding rupture of aneurysm and vascular malformation) will be randomly divided into experimental group and control group. All the patients in the two groups were treated according to the guideline of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients in the experimental group was treated with intravenous injection of vitamin K1 20mg once a day for 2 days after admission, and the patients in control group was treated with normal saline as a control. The hematoma volume, coagulation function, platelet levels and GCS scales of the two groups will be recorded in 0d, 1d, 3d, 7d post bleeding stroke, furthermore, length of ICU stay and total hospitalization, incidence of complications during hospitalization are to be recorded. During the follow-up, mRS score will be recorded at 1m and 6m post bleeding stroke.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Deproteinised Calf Blood Serum Injection in alleviating perihematomal edema (PHE) and secondary brain injury, as well as neurologic deficits in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related intracerebral (CAAH) hemorrhage is second factor of primary intracerebral hemorrhage. However, no effective prevention and treatment strategies have been established. Remote ischemic conditioning is a neuroprotective strategy. In animal studies，RIC is efficiency in accelerating the absorption of hematoma. Therefore, the investigators plan to carry out this research to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RIC in patients with CAA related ICH.

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of tranexamic acid (also known as trans amine or TXA) in reducing hematoma expansion in patients with hemorrhagic stroke when given in the acute phase. METHODOLOGY This will be a Phase III, parallel-group double-blind randomised placebo control trial. Patients allocated to the control group will receive standard care for hemorrhagic stroke according to the 2015 American Heart Association guidelines. Patients allocated to the intervention group will receive, in addition to standard care, a loading dose of intravenous TXA 1gm within 3 hours of symptom onset followed by a 1gm maintenance dose over 8 hours. Timing and dosing are in accordance to previous established study protocols. Patients in the intervention group will only receive a single treatment course of TXA. Study subjects will be identified by either the on-duty clinicians from the Department of Neurosurgery of this institution or by the study investigators. Should the patient meet study eligibility criteria consent will be obtained either from the patient or from his/her next of kin. 1:1 block randomization will be performed by a remote internet randomization service by accessing a website. Patients allocated to the intervention arm will have 1gm of TXA added to 100ml of normal saline (0.9%) infused over 10 minutes as a loading dose. This is then followed by a maintenance dose of 1gm of TXA in 500ml of intravenous isotonic solution infused at 120mg/hour (60ml/hour) for 8 hours. Patient's allocated to the control arm will have an equal volume of normal saline (0.9%) infused as a placebo. The patient and the outcome assessor will be blinded to study group allocation. The primary endpoint of this study will be to assess the percentage change in brain blood clot volume by computed tomography brain scans on admission, 6 hours later, at 24 hours and at 1 week.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the superiority of effect of the modified micro-invasive aspiration and drainage and conservative medical therapy in the treatment of ICH spontaneously hypertensive scientifically.

Background: One third of all ICH patients require intubation and mechanical ventilation and 1/3 of all ventilated patients require tracheostomy (i.e.≈10% of all ICH patients require tracheostomy). As shown previously, predisposing factors for tracheostomy are hematoma volume, hemorrhage location, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and occlusive hydrocephalus as well as presence of COPD (Huttner HB et al 2006 CVD). Sustained restricted vigilance and impaired consciousness after ICH is likely to result in failure of extubation, raise in incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, increased amount of sedative drugs and prolonged duration of neurocritical care. Hence an early tracheostomy may be beneficial in terms of reduced duration of mechanical ventilation. Basic hypothesis: Compared to patients with conventional ("late") tracheostomy between day 12 - 14, patients with "early" tracheostomy within 72h after admission will have: shorter cumulative time of mechanical ventilation less incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia less consumption of sedative drugs shorter duration of stay in neurocritical care unit Randomization: Consecutive eligible patients are randomly assigned to Either "early" tracheostomy within 72h after hospital admission Or "late" tracheostomy (= control group; undergoing conventional tracheostomy between day 12 - 14 if extubation fails) Both groups receive plastic tracheostomy

The purpose of this study is to determine if computed tomography angiography can predict which individuals with intracerebral hemorrhage will experience significant growth in the size of the hemorrhage. For individuals who are at high risk for hemorrhage growth, the study will compare the drug Tranexamic acid to placebo to determine the effect and safety of on intracerebral hemorrhage growth

Early hematoma growth (HG) after spontaneous intra-cerebral/intra-parenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) is common and associated with neurological deterioration and poor clinical outcome. Temperature modulation to hypothermia (Temperature, 32-34°C) has been associated with reduction or improvement of physiopathologic processes associated with inflammatory activation and degradation of blood-brain barrier after all types of brain injury. In this sense, we believe that the initiation of an ultra-early protocol of active temperature modulation or Targeted Temperature Management (TTM) to mild induced hypothermia (MIH, 32-34°C) may be associated with good safety and tolerability profile, less HG and cerebral edema after IPH by modulation of systemic and local inflammatory responses, so we hypothesize that TTM to MIH will be a safe/tolerable and effective therapy to limit HG and cerebral edema after IPH.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial that will be carried out in Mexico. The purpose of this study is to test whether a 3-month treatment with fluoxetine enhances motor recovery in non-depressed patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage.
