Nerve block treatment for brain blood vessel spasm after bleeding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at a procedure that blocks specific nerves to help prevent or treat blood vessel spasm in the brain after a ruptured brain aneurysm. If you qualify, it may help improve blood flow to the brain during recovery in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Be currently hospitalized in an ICU
- Have cerebral vasospasm (brain blood vessel spasm) after a ruptured aneurysm bleed
- Your vasospasm developed after the aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
- You should not have known advanced-stage kidney disease

This trial tests an endovascular procedure (a minimally invasive catheter-based treatment delivered through blood vessels) combined with a heart medication called milrinone to treat cerebral vasospasm—dangerous blood vessel narrowing that can occur after a ruptured brain aneurysm. The goal is to improve neurological recovery and prevent stroke.
This study tests a new non-invasive sensor to monitor brain pressure and explores a nerve stimulation technique that might help recovery after bleeding on the brain from a ruptured aneurysm. It aims to see if these approaches are safe and could improve outcomes.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your leg) to see if it helps brain recovery after aneurysm surgery. It might reduce secondary damage and improve outcomes.
This trial is for people who have had a brain bleed from a burst aneurysm and then developed tightening of the brain's blood vessels (vasospasm). It studies how well the NeVa VS device works to open up those narrowed vessels.
This study tests whether using a blood pressure cuff on the arm to temporarily restrict blood flow (remote ischemic conditioning) can help people recover after a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm. It may reduce damage and improve outcomes.
This trial studies whether a noninvasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve can be safely given soon after a ruptured aneurysm bleed to improve outcomes. It may help calm the brain’s stress response after this type of stroke-like emergency.
