In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Chronic subdural hematomas (CSH) are collections of blood in the subdural space. CSH are becoming the most common cranial neurosurgical condition among adults, and a significant public health problem, due to an increasing use of anticoagulant and antiplatelet medication in an ageing population. Symptomatic CSH, or CSH with a significant mass effect, are treated surgically. However, recurrences are common (10 to 20%). Conservative management (medical) is used in patients who are asymptomatic or have minor symptoms. However, therapeutic failures, requiring surgical treatment, are common. The pathophysiology of CSH involves inflammation, angiogenesis, and clotting dysfunction. Self-perpetuation and rebleeding is thought to be caused by neo-membranes from the inflammatory remodeling of the dura-mater mainly fed by the distal branches of the middle meningeal artery (MMA).
