Understanding the Impact of Neurochecks on Brain Injury Recovery

This study is looking into how often patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) are woken up for "neurochecks" (brief neurological exams) and how this affects their recovery. Researchers want to see if less frequent neurochecks could lead to better short-term (delirium duration) and long-term cognitive function, especially for older patients who are already fragile. The study will compare patients who receive neurochecks at different frequencies. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18-100 years old) with a spontaneous acute intracerebral hemorrhage that is less than 45cc in volume and has been stable for at least 6 hours after being admitted to the ICU. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and aims to enroll 120 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study where participants will be randomly assigned to receive neurochecks at either Q1 or Q2 frequency. The study plans to enroll 120 adult patients.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your short-term cognitive function (delirium duration) will be measured for up to 6 months after ICU admission, and your long-term cognitive function will be measured at a 6-month follow-up.
