Numbing a nerve bundle for headache after brain bleeding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether numbing a specific nerve bundle inside the nose can relieve headaches in people who have had bleeding around the brain. It is for those still in pain after standard painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had bleeding around the brain not caused by an injury
- You are awake, breathing on your own, and able to describe your pain level
- Your headache is still significant even after taking paracetamol and another painkiller
- You can tolerate a small procedure inside your nose

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 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.
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 study tests whether numbing a nerve inside the nose (called a sphenopalatine ganglion block) on both sides can reduce pain after septoplasty, a surgery to straighten the cartilage and bone inside the nose. If you're having this surgery, the treatment might help you feel less pain afterward.
