New research suggests that a drug used to treat bleeding could benefit some stroke patients
Type: News
Led by the University of Nottingham, a new international study investigated whether patients with a spontaneous bleed in the brain (intracerebral haemorrhage) could benefit from this drug, if delivered as an emergency treatment. An intracerebral haemorrhage is a type of stroke.
Understanding and treating biological changes after a bleed in the brain
Type:
This research on Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) will use zebrafish models so that we can gain a better understanding of how cells of the brain respond to the bleeding.
Turning research findings into benefit for patients after intracerebral haemorrhage
Type:
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.
Searching for medicines that can reduce damage after a bleed in the brain
Type:
This research will investigate 2000 drugs that are already known to be safe for use in humans to see if they could help reduce the amount of damage to the brain which an intracerebral haemorrhage (a type of stroke caused by a bleed in the brain) causes.
Haemorrhagic stroke
Type: Stroke information
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.

Highlights from day one of the European Stroke Organisation Conference 2018
Type: Research
The European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) 2018 is currently on from 16-18 May in Gothenburg, Sweden. The first day of ESOC included some truly inspiring scientific sessions, including the WAKE-UP trial, RIGHT-2 trial and CROMIS-2 trials.
PROHIBIT-ICH: Protecting the brain after a bleed with home monitored blood pressure control
Type:
Professor David Werring and the team are using home blood pressure measuring kits to investigate whether quickly lowering blood pressure after a bleeding stroke can help stroke survivors keep an eye on their blood pressure and prevent future damage to the brain.
