What are the future studies for ICH treatment?
Future years will focus on determining whether minimally invasive surgery can provide the advantages of hematoma removal with less surgical trauma and therefore greater net benefit to patients. Another rational but still unproven approach to acute ICH treatment is neuroprotection of surrounding brain tissue from the toxic effects of the hematoma. Emerging methods such as prehospital administration of candidate neuroprotectants should increase the range of feasible treatment approaches and time windows for acute ICH.
