General vs local anesthesia for brain aneurysm treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a brain aneurysm that hasn't burst and is smaller than 15 mm.
- Your aneurysm has not been treated before.
- You are able to walk and care for yourself (mRS score 0-2).
- You are planning to have a specific flow diverter device placed.
- You do not have metal implants like pacemakers or stents that prevent MRI scans.

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 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 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 study tests a new device that helps block blood flow into a brain aneurysm to prevent it from bursting. It's for people with an unruptured, wide-necked aneurysm in a specific part of the carotid artery that hasn't been treated before.
This study compares two ways to treat a type of brain aneurysm (a weak spot in a blood vessel) that has not burst. It looks at early problems after using a flow diverter or stent-assisted coiling, to see which might be safer or more effective.
This trial tests whether practicing on a 3D-printed model of your aneurysm helps doctors plan and perform the procedure to place a stent or coils. It may lead to safer and more effective treatment.
