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.

This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly squeeze the arm or leg) can help improve recovery after bleeding in the brain from a burst aneurysm. The treatment is given after the aneurysm has been secured, and may help reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
This study tests whether starting blood pressure lowering treatment earlier after aneurysm repair improves recovery. If you've recently had a bleeding brain aneurysm treated, this may help reduce complications.
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 study tests a simple, non-invasive technique called remote ischemic preconditioning to help prevent lack of blood flow to the brain after a bleeding brain aneurysm. It works by repeatedly inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff on an arm or leg, which may help protect the brain from further damage.
This study tests whether giving a blood pressure medicine called urapidil, alone or with another medicine called esmolol, can safely lower blood pressure in people who have had a bleeding stroke. It aims to see if this treatment can improve recovery.
This trial tests if quickly lowering blood pressure in an ambulance (mobile stroke unit) can improve outcomes for people with a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. It aims to see if this early treatment is safe and helps recovery.
