Blood pressure treatment for ICU patients with brain bleed
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a blood pressure management strategy for patients in the ICU after a bleeding stroke caused by a brain aneurysm. It aims to see if carefully controlling blood pressure can help prevent a dangerous tightening of blood vessels in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a brain aneurysm treated with coiling or clipping.
- You have symptoms or test results suggesting blood vessels in the brain are narrowing (vasospasm).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or lower.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other reasons you cannot have an MRI scan.
- You do not have severe heart failure, a serious heart rhythm problem, or severe lung or kidney failure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a spinal fluid (CSF) treatment to help prevent dangerous blood-vessel tightening (vasospasm) after a type of brain bleed caused by an aneurysm. If you qualify, the goal is to reduce complications soon after aneurysm repair.
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 tests whether starting blood pressure treatment soon after surgery or coiling for a brain aneurysm can improve recovery. It is for people who had a bleeding stroke from a ruptured aneurysm and are in the hospital for treatment.
This study tests a treatment for people who have had a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage) and are at risk for delayed brain damage due to narrowed blood vessels. It looks at whether a special procedure to relax the vessels (spasmolysis) combined with raising blood pressure can prevent long-term harm.
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.
This study tests whether lowering blood pressure quickly inside a specialized ambulance (mobile stroke unit) can improve outcomes for people with bleeding in the brain. It aims to see if this early treatment is safe and effective.
