U.S., April 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07549893) titled 'Middle Meningeal Artery Coagulation During Burr-Hole Drainage for Chronic Subdural Haematoma (BURR-MMA)' on April 09.
Brief Summary: Chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH) is a common condition in older adults, usually treated by burr-hole surgery to drain the collection. Even with good surgery, around 1 in 10 patients develop a recurrence and need a second operation. Research shows that the outer lining of the haematoma is fed by small branches of the middle meningeal artery (MMA), and interrupting these branches may lower the risk of recurrence.
