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 trial tests a device called a flow modulation device to treat certain brain aneurysms. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well for people with aneurysms that have not burst.
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 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 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 looks at how being diagnosed with an unruptured brain aneurysm (a weak spot on a blood vessel that hasn't bled) affects your mood, anxiety, and quality of life. It also compares outcomes for people who get treatment (like surgery or a catheter procedure) versus those who are watched with scans.
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.
