Stereotactic Operation Integrating With Thrombolysis in Basal Ganglion Hemorrhage Evacuation II

Plain-language summary
Spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage is one of the main causes of death and disability all over the world, accounting for 20%-30% of all cerebrovascular diseases. Minimally invasive surgery of cerebral hemorrhage, especially puncture aspiration, can improve early and long-term neurological recovery in patients with cerebral hemorrhage. Until now, no standardized practice for minimally invasive surgery of spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage has been established. Hematoma puncture and drainage based on CT scans without precise localization and personalized approach design, which may lead to poor efficacy and high risk of complications. The investigators' hospital has much experience in treating cerebral hemorrhage with stereotactic puncture and aspiration. So the investigators conduct a prospective multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial across the country to determine the therapeutic effects of puncture aspiration plus thrombolysis treatment for the perioperative and long-term recovery of patients with small hematoma in deep basal ganglia via computerized precision coordinates and personalized approach design.

Inclusion criteria
. Diagnosis of spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage by imaging (CT, CTA, etc.) with a volume of 15-30 mL calculated by ABC/2 formula and Glasgow Coma Scale score of at least 9.
. With dysfunctions such as hematoma-related motor aphasia, sensory aphasia, hemiplegic limb muscle strength ≤ grade 3 or NIHSS score ≥ 15.
. Hematoma volume increase \<5 ml by ABC/2 formula shown by an additional CT scan after at least 6 hours of the diagnostic CT.
. Diagnostic CT scans should be obtained within 24 hours after the onset of symptoms. Cases with unclear onset time should be excluded.
. Randomization within 72 hours after diagnostic CT.
. Surgery performed within 72 hours after onset.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
