Official Title: Use of Subperiosteal Drainage Versus Subdural Drainage in Chronic Subdural Hematomas Treated With Burr-Hole Trepanation: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief Summary:

The aim of our study is to investigate in randomized controlled fashion whether the recurrence and complication rate, after insertion of subperiosteal drainage in the treatment of chronic subdural haematoma, is higher compared to insertion of subdural drainage.

We hypothesize that patients treated with a subperiosteal drainage do not show higher recurrence rates than those treated with a subdural drainage, and suffer less complications.
