Nerve block for headache after brain bleed
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a numbing injection near a nerve in your nose can relieve headache pain after a non-traumatic brain bleed. It's for patients who are awake and still in pain despite taking regular painkillers.

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 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 trial tests if a nerve block near the neck can improve brain function recovery after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (a type of stroke from a bleeding brain aneurysm). It is for people within 72 hours of onset who are having surgery to fix the aneurysm.
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 trial tests if a scalp nerve block can better manage severe headaches after a brain aneurysm rupture. It is for patients who had an aneurysm treated with coiling in the intensive care unit.
This trial compares two treatments for the severe headache that can occur after a spinal tap or epidural. One treatment is a numbing medicine sprayed into the nose (sphenopalatine block), the other is a blood patch (injecting your own blood into your back). The goal is to see which works better and faster.
