Clinical Trial Summary

The proportion of the elderly population is increasing rapidly. Chronic subdural hematoma has become the most common cause of surgery in neurosurgery for elderly patients. The standard treatment for cSDH is mostly surgery. Clinically, we often encounter elderly patients with certain underlying diseases or organ dysfunction, especially preexisting cardiovascular disease or medication history like anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, resulting in poor surgical tolerance, high risk during anesthesia and hematoma recurrence. At present, the mechanism of cSDH is not completely clear. Our previous observational studies had shown significant correlation between cSDH and intracranial hypotension. So we would like to conduct a randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical study to explore the effectiveness and safety of low intracranial pressure treatment strategies for patients with chronic subdural hematoma.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary subdural hematoma volume difference of hematoma volume in subdura between two groups three months
Primary Markwalder scale difference of Markwalder scale between two groups;The Markwalder Scale is designed to measure the chronic subdural hematoma scale. This scale is categorized into four grade. Grade 0 denots the patient neurologically normal, whereas grade 4, the highest grade, denotes the worst neuological assessment. three months
Primary Modified Rankin Scale difference of Modified Rankin Scale between two groups; The modified Rankin Scale is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a neurological disability. The scale runs from 0-6, running from perfect health without symptoms to death. three months
Primary Extended Glasgow Outcome score difference of Extended Glasgow Outcome score between two groups; This score is used to measure the outcome after neurological disease. It defines 5 categories of possible outcomes after a brain injury, which is from good recovery(5) to death(1). three months
