Beta-blocker to reduce heart damage after brain bleed
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a confirmed, non-traumatic brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage).
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are not currently pregnant.
- Your vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate) are stable enough to safely take a beta-blocker.
- You do not have severe heart failure.

This trial tests whether a common antiplatelet medicine can reduce the risk of future heart attacks, strokes, or blood clots in people who have had a brain bleed. It's for adults who had their first brain bleed and can start treatment within 3 months of the stroke.
This trial tests whether a heart medication called a beta-blocker can help people who have had a severe traumatic brain injury. By reducing stress on the body, it may support recovery.
This trial tests whether giving a beta blocker drug after a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury can improve recovery. It is for patients who have a brain injury but only minor or no other injuries.
This trial is testing whether giving a beta-blocker medication (metoprolol) early after a heart attack can help people who have a fast heart rate or low blood pressure but no signs of organ failure. The goal is to see if this treatment improves recovery.
This trial tests whether a beta-blocker medication (a type of drug often used for heart conditions) can help prevent unruptured brain aneurysms from growing or bleeding. It is for people whose aneurysm could not be treated with surgery or catheter-based procedures, offering a potential medical alternative.
This trial tests whether giving a drug called tranexamic acid (helps stop bleeding) along with very careful blood pressure lowering can reduce bleeding growth and improve recovery after a brain bleed. It is for people who arrive at the hospital very quickly (within 2 hours) after symptoms start.
