Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the present study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of two surgery evacuation methods (endoscopic surgery and suboccipital craniotomy) in the treatment of acute spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage (SCH). A multi-center randomized control trial will be conducted. Patients with an initial GCS score of 5-14 will be screened and enrolled in the first 24 hours after SCH.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage (SCH) accounts for about 9-10% of all ICH cases, with a mortality rate of 20-50%. Suboccipital craniotomy was the traditional surgery method in the treatment of SCH. Minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic evacuation and minimally invasive catheter (MIC) evacuation, have been used for the treatment of SCH) in recent years. However, credible evidence is still needed to validate the effects of these techniques. The treatment effect of endoscopic evacuation and MIC evacuation was compared in our previous study, results showed that the endoscopic evacuation significantly decreased the 6-month mortality of SCH patients. Thus endoscopic evacuation might be a safer and more effective option in the treatment of SCH. Therefore, in the current study, a multi-center randomized control trial will be conducted to compare the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic surgery and suboccipital craniotomy in the treatment of acute SCH. A multi-center randomized control trial will be conducted. Patients with an initial GCS score of 5-14 will be screened according to the selecting criteria. The enrolled patients will undertake the surgery within the first 24 hours after SCH. The primary outcome is the 30-day mortality rate. And the secondary outcomes including the 6-month mRS, the incidence of adverse events within 30-day, the hematoma clearance rate, the residual hematoma volume on postoperative day 1/3/7, and the perihematoma edema volume on postoperative day 1/3/7.
