A haemorrhagic stroke is due to bleeding in or around the brain. While less common than strokes that are caused by a blockage, they can be much more serious.

Dr Adrian Parry-Jones is a stroke doctor and researcher. He is testing a promising new emergency treatment for haemorrhagic stroke.

Susan, from the Scottish Borders, had a haemorrhagic stroke caused by a bleed on the brain in May 2016. Following her stroke, Susan had problems with her speech, sight, hearing and mobility. Over time her speech and vision have improved, but Susan still struggles with walking. Susan has found lockdown really difficult.

As part of our five-year research strategy, we have made a commitment to working with others to achieve a clear vision about the future priorities for stroke research.

We want to help as many people as possible live the best lives they can. One of the key ways we do this is by funding research into more effective treatments, rehabilitation and after-stroke care.

Find out about the different treatments available to combat a stroke, including thrombolysis and thrombectomy.

This research aims to improve outcomes for Intracerebral Haemorrhage (ICH) patients by developing new emergency treatments to reduce swelling in the brain after ICH, and improving the care that patients receive.
