Blood pressure medicines for bleeding in the brain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a blood pressure medicine called urapidil, alone or with another medicine called esmolol, can safely lower blood pressure in people who have had a bleeding stroke. It aims to see if this treatment can improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a bleeding stroke (intracerebral hemorrhage) within the last 6 hours.
- The bleed is in a specific part of the brain (basal ganglia) and is less than 50 ml in volume.
- Your systolic blood pressure (the top number) is above 140 mmHg when you arrive at the hospital.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study procedures.

This trial tests if quickly lowering blood pressure in an ambulance (mobile stroke unit) can improve outcomes for people with a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. It aims to see if this early treatment is safe and helps recovery.
This trial tests a blood pressure management strategy for patients in the ICU after a bleeding stroke caused by a brain aneurysm. It aims to see if carefully controlling blood pressure can help prevent a dangerous tightening of blood vessels in the brain.
This study tests two sedative medications, remifentanil and dexmedetomidine, to lower blood pressure quickly after a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). High blood pressure right after a bleed can cause more damage, so this trial aims to see if these drugs help improve recovery.
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.
This study checks how well a blood pressure treatment works in an ambulance for people having a stroke within the first few hours. If you qualify, you might receive this treatment early, potentially reducing brain damage.
This trial tests a blood pressure medicine called clevidipine given through an IV to people with a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). The goal is to see if quickly lowering blood pressure helps prevent more bleeding and improve recovery.
