Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Diagnosed with chronic subdural hematoma by CT or MRI with hematoma thickness over 1 cm
- Age 60 years or older
- Markwalder's Grading Scale and Glasgow Coma Scale score less than or equal to 2
- Presence of neurological symptoms caused by chronic subdural hematoma before surgery, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, numbness or weakness of limbs, instability while walking, unconsciousness, trouble speaking, or insensitivity
- Received burr hole drainage surgery

You will not qualify if you...
- Brain hernia or acute massive cerebral infarction requiring craniotomy
- Severe malignancies, hemorrhagic disease, cardiac dysfunction, or other serious diseases that may hinder recovery or follow-up
- Spinal deformities or psychiatric disorders preventing adherence to body posture therapy

- Chronic subdural hematoma caused by over ventriculoperitoneal shunting
- Need for craniotomy during burr hole drainage due to acute bleeding or brain hernia
- Intraoperative complications such as cerebral contusion or intraparenchymal catheter placement during burr hole drainage
- Deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity or pulmonary embolism
- Inability to complete regular reexaminations within 1 year
- Life expectancy less than 1 year
- Participation in other ongoing clinical trials
- Not qualified for other reasons as evaluated by two neurosurgeons
