Aneurysm radiosurgery for small brain aneurysms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive radiation treatment (called stereotactic radiosurgery) to prevent small, unruptured brain aneurysms from bleeding. If you and your doctor have decided to just watch your aneurysm, this study offers a way to potentially seal it off without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your aneurysm is located in the front part of your brain, not the back
- Your aneurysm is small (under 7 millimeters) and has never bled
- You have not had symptoms like severe headaches or eye problems caused by the aneurysm
- Your doctor recommended simply watching the aneurysm instead of surgery or coiling
- You have not had any prior treatment (like coils or clips) on any aneurysm

This study looks at a comprehensive treatment approach for people who have a confirmed brain (intracranial) subarachnoid aneurysm. It may help by comparing or improving how aneurysms are managed to reduce future bleeding risk.
This study compares two approaches for people with a small, unruptured brain aneurysm: careful monitoring over time versus treating it right away with a procedure. The goal is to learn which option is safer and helps prevent future bleeding.
This study uses brain scans (MRI/MRA) from people with an unruptured brain aneurysm to better predict which aneurysms might grow or rupture. If you have an unruptured aneurysm and want to help improve future care, this trial may be an option.
This trial is testing a new stent (a small mesh tube) designed to treat wide-necked brain aneurysms. If you have this type of aneurysm, the stent helps hold coils in place to block blood flow and prevent rupture.
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy for brain tumors that aims to protect your memory and thinking skills. It may be an option if you have certain brain tumors or a small number of brain metastases.
This Phase 2 trial tests a type of focused radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery, or SRS) for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It looks at whether this approach can treat brain metastases when the cancer has limited to a certain number of spots.
