Huperzine A for thinking and memory after brain aneurysm
This study tests a drug called Huperzine A, given as an injection, to see if it helps prevent or improve memory and thinking problems after a brain aneurysm is treated. It is for people who had a brain aneurysm bleed and are having surgery or a procedure to fix it soon.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You had a brain aneurysm that caused bleeding, and it was confirmed by imaging tests like a CT scan or angiogram.
- Your condition at the hospital was graded as Hunt-Hess I to III (meaning you are awake and have no major neurological problems).
- You are going to have one of these treatments: a minimally invasive procedure (endovascular) or open surgery (clipping) to fix the aneurysm.
- You arrive at the hospital within 72 hours of the bleeding starting.
- You or your guardian can sign a form agreeing to take part in the study.

This trial tests whether huperzine A can improve hearing-related symptoms along with tinnitus (ringing) and mild cognitive (memory/thinking) problems. If you have mild-to-moderate hearing loss plus bothersome constant tinnitus and some cognitive decline, this study may help researchers see if the treatment makes a difference.
This trial tests whether a surgery called lymphatic-venous anastomosis, when added to the Alzheimer's medication donepezil, is more effective than donepezil alone. It may help improve memory and thinking by clearing waste from the brain.
This study tests a natural compound called beta-sitosterol (from Gastrodia elata) to see if it can help people recover better after a brain aneurysm bleed. You must have had your aneurysm treated within 48 hours and be in relatively stable condition.
This study looks at how surgery for a ruptured brain aneurysm may affect thinking skills like memory and concentration. It aims to find early clues that could help predict recovery.
This study tests whether Huperzine A controlled-release tablets can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. You'll take the tablets or a placebo to see if it slows down dementia symptoms.
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.
