Fludrocortisone for brain aneurysm bleeding recovery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a medicine called fludrocortisone to see if it helps people recover after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (a type of brain bleed from an aneurysm). The study is for adults who are already being cared for in an intensive care unit shortly after their aneurysm is treated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding around the brain) caused by a brain aneurysm that has been treated.
- You were admitted to the hospital within the last 4 days for this condition.
- You are currently in an intensive care unit or similar critical care setting.
- You are not already taking steroid medications like prednisone, and you have never had an allergic reaction to fludrocortisone.
- You do not have severe heart, liver, or kidney failure, your sodium levels in recent blood tests are not too high or too low, and you are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a medicine called cilostazol can reduce the risk of a delayed shortage of blood in the brain after having a bleeding aneurysm treated. It aims to improve recovery by preventing a common complication called delayed cerebral ischemia.
This trial tests whether placing a small drain in the lower back and giving a clot-dissolving medicine (urokinase) into the fluid around the brain can help people recover from a severe bleeding stroke caused by a brain aneurysm. It is for patients who are treated quickly after the bleed.
This trial studies deferoxamine, a medicine that targets iron-related injury, in people with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (a brain bleed caused by a burst aneurysm). It aims to improve neurologic recovery after the aneurysm is treated.
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 blood-thinning medicine called tirofiban to see if it helps reduce delayed brain damage after a type of stroke from a bleeding brain aneurysm. It is for people who have already had their aneurysm fixed with coiling, and the medicine is given soon after.
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.
