NMES and whey protein for recovery after aneurysmal brain bleed
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This pilot study tests whether a therapy that gently stimulates nerves (NMES) and a whey-protein supplement (HPRO) can improve recovery after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a type of bleeding around the brain. Participants are usually treated soon after the bleed and stay in the ICU long enough for the study measures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with aneurysmal SAH (bleeding from an aneurysm).
- Your aneurysm was repaired within 48 hours after the bleed started.
- You are between 25 and 80 years old.
- You are expected to need ICU care (NCCU) for more than 72 hours.
- Your initial severity scores are above the study minimums (Hunt Hess Grade 2 or higher, modified Fisher score above 1).

This study tests if starting gentle movement and physical therapy early can help people who have had a brain bleed from an aneurysm. It focuses on patients who are stable enough to get out of bed with assistance.
This trial tests whether electrical muscle stimulation plus extra protein (protein substitute) can improve muscle health and metabolism in critically ill adults in the ICU. If you’re newly admitted and expected to stay on a breathing machine for several days, it may help you keep more muscle strength during recovery.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using mild, temporary pressure on your arm or leg) to see if it can improve recovery after a brain aneurysm bleed. It is for people who have already had a minimally invasive procedure to fix the aneurysm.
This study looks at whether adding protein, physical movement therapy, and electrical muscle stimulation can improve recovery in older people after a long ICU stay. If you qualify, you would be asked to participate in rehab activities soon after a move to a long-term care hospital.
This study tests whether giving the protein albumin can improve recovery after a brain aneurysm has burst. It is for people who have had their aneurysm treated quickly after symptoms started.
This trial uses brain MRI scans and memory/brain-function tests in people who are recovering from a specific type of brain bleed (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage). It aims to understand how the brain’s memory area changes after the event and how that may relate to memory function during rehabilitation.
