    Chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) is prevalent among the elderly, with rising incidence due to an aging population.

  • 2

    Surgical intervention, particularly burr hole evacuation, is the most common treatment for symptomatic CSDH, though techniques vary.

  • 3

    Recent clinical practice guidelines aim to standardize CSDH care, acknowledging the need for further high-quality research.

  • 4

    Completed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have influenced clinical practice, notably reducing steroid use in CSDH treatment.

  • 5

    The systematic review identified 95 trials, including 41 published and 54 ongoing, to inform future research and clinical decisions.
