Bleeding after head injury and brain blood vessel narrowing
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether moderate to severe traumatic brain injury with bleeding around the brain can lead to a complication called cerebral vasospasm (narrowing of brain blood vessels). It's being done at Martinique University Hospital to understand how often this happens and how it affects recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a moderate or severe head injury that caused bleeding around the brain (seen on a CT scan).
- You cannot have a known brain aneurysm (a bulging blood vessel).
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You need to be covered by health insurance (social security).

This study examines whether a substance called nitric oxide in brain fluid can help doctors predict who will develop dangerous blood vessel tightening after a subarachnoid hemorrhage—a serious type of brain bleeding. The goal is to find an early warning sign so doctors can intervene faster.
This study tests a treatment for people who have had a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage) and are at risk for delayed brain damage due to narrowed blood vessels. It looks at whether a special procedure to relax the vessels (spasmolysis) combined with raising blood pressure can prevent long-term harm.
This trial studies a spinal fluid (CSF) treatment to help prevent dangerous blood-vessel tightening (vasospasm) after a type of brain bleed caused by an aneurysm. If you qualify, the goal is to reduce complications soon after aneurysm repair.
This study follows people with a moderate, non-penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI) to see how small blood-vessel damage changes over time. It uses brain scans to learn what happens after a serious accident, which may help improve future care.
This study looks at brain swelling (“cerebral edema”) after a spontaneous brain bleed and how it relates to outcomes. It mainly involves people who can have early care and MRI scans, to better understand what affects recovery.
This study looks for clues in your blood or spinal fluid that might predict brain spasms, delayed damage, or infections after a brain bleed. If you already need a drain to remove fluid, you could be a candidate.
