Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is frequently seen among elderly population. With increased number of the advanced-aged, the incidence of CSDH is expected to rise. In general, simple surgical procedure such as one burr hole opening and irrigation of hematoma has been accepted as an effective method to treat symptomatic CSDH. However, the recurrence rate is not sufficiently low. Previous series have reported approximately 10% of cases recurred after surgical treatment. Recently, however, some pilot studies have shown the effectiveness of Goreisan, one of Chinese herbal medicines, to lower the incidence of postoperative recurrence of CSDH. Goreisan is thought to be involved in the alteration of osmotic pressure in the hematoma membrane.
The aim of this study is to confirm the effectiveness of Goreisan to prevent the CSDH recurrence.

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.

Patients who underwent initial surgery for symptomatic CSDH confirmed on computed tomography (CT) images were recruited in this study.
Written informed consent was obtained from all enrolled patients. Patients were instructed to continue Goreisan for at least 3 months unless they developed any side effect of Goreisan.
The occurrence of wound infection was not significant between the two groups (P = 0.57). No seizure was observed in Group G. Among three patients complaining of severe headache, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort, one patient with headache was not able to tolerate and discontinued Goreisan treatment.
The primary endpoint was the symptomatic recurrence of CSDH, and the secondary endpoint was the complications, including the adverse side effects of Goreisan.
