The effect of Goreisan to prevent the recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma - The effect of Goreisan to prevent the recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma

The present prospective randomized study did not prove the beneficial effect of adjuvant Goreisan treatment, although it approached significance to lower the recurrence rate in overall patients. However, it suggested the importance of selecting patients with high risk of recurrence. Based on our data, a subset of patients whose hematoma showed homogeneous and separated patterns on CT image might benefit from Goreisan treatment.
