Numbing shot for headache after brain bleed
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a numbing injection inside the nose to quickly relieve severe headaches caused by a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage). It may help reduce pain without strong medicines.

This study tests if a numbing spray applied inside the nose can help reduce headaches in people who have had a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm. The treatment targets a nerve cluster linked to headache pain.
This study tests a pain-block injection (called a PPF-block) for severe headaches after a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage). It compares the injection to standard pain medicine to see if it reduces headache and the need for opioids.
This study tests whether a lidocaine infusion (given through an IV) can safely reduce severe headaches after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (a type of brain bleed). You may qualify if you had a spontaneous bleed and can communicate your pain level.
This trial tests whether giving a numbing medicine (lidocaine) and steroids into the artery that covers the brain can help reduce pain after a brain bleed. It may be an option for people with a specific type of bleeding who have not had certain brain surgeries or procedures.
This study tests whether giving two medicines (lidocaine and methylprednisolone) directly into the artery during a routine brain vessel procedure can help relieve headaches caused by a bleeding stroke. It may help find a new treatment for this type of headache.
This trial tests whether an injection of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) guided by an endoscope can reduce craniofacial pain. It may help people with certain headache or facial pain conditions by targeting the pain area more precisely.
