Clinical Trial: Implementation of an Enhanced Recovery Pathway for Burr-hole Drainage in Patients With a Chronic Subdural Hematoma

U.S., Feb. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07421453) titled 'Implementation of an Enhanced Recovery Pathway for Burr-hole Drainage in Patients With a Chronic Subdural Hematoma' on Sept. 01, 2025.

Brief Summary: A chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a type of intracranial hematoma that primarily affects older adults. The rising incidence of this condition, coupled with the high healthcare burden of this disease, calls for an update of the medical care program.
