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 trial studies whether starting gentle movement and exercise early after a brain bleed (from a burst aneurysm) helps improve recovery. You might benefit if you have had your aneurysm treated and are awake enough to begin physical therapy soon after the event.
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 study combines a high-protein diet, mobility exercises, and mild electrical stimulation to help older patients regain strength and independence after a long ICU stay. If you qualify, it could improve your recovery.
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.
This study tests whether giving different amounts of protein to patients in the neurosurgical ICU affects their recovery and outcomes. It aims to find the best protein dose for people with severe brain injuries or strokes.
