Beta-blockers for unruptured brain aneurysm
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a beta-blocker medicine can help people with a recently diagnosed brain aneurysm that cannot be treated with surgery or a catheter procedure. It aims to see if the drug reduces the risk of the aneurysm growing or rupturing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain aneurysm that has not burst and was found in the last year.
- Doctors have decided the aneurysm cannot be treated with surgery or a catheter procedure.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not currently taking a beta-blocker and have never taken one before.
- You have not had a previous bleeding stroke from an aneurysm.
- You do not have other brain conditions, and you can have an MRI with contrast dye.

This trial compares general anesthesia (being fully asleep) to local anesthesia (only the area is numbed) during a procedure to treat an unruptured brain aneurysm with a flow diverter. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better.
This trial tests a new device called the World Diverter Embolization Device to treat brain aneurysms (a weak spot in a blood vessel that can bulge or burst). The device is placed inside the artery to block blood flow into the aneurysm. This study checks if the device is safe and works well.
This trial tests whether a precise form of radiation (radiosurgery) can safely prevent small, unruptured brain aneurysms from growing or bleeding. It is for people whose doctors have said to just watch their aneurysm, and who might want a more active treatment option.
This trial tests whether a common beta-blocker (metoprolol) can protect the heart from injury and reduce inflammation after a bleed in the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage). It may help patients recover better after this type of stroke.
This trial tests a new device that blocks blood flow into brain aneurysms (balloon-like bulges in blood vessels). It is for patients with a specific type of unruptured or recently ruptured aneurysm, located in three common places in the brain, that has a wide neck.
This study tests if a medicine called tirofiban (which helps prevent blood clots) can improve recovery after a brain aneurysm rupture. It is for people who have had their aneurysm treated with a coil and are at risk of a delayed stroke.
