Nimodipine variability in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how nimodipine, a medicine used to prevent blood vessel spasms after a brain bleed, works in people with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. It aims to better understand how the drug behaves in your body, which could help improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You have been diagnosed with a brain bleed caused by an aneurysm
- You are being treated with the drug nimodipine
- You have a catheter (thin tube) in a blood vessel for testing
- You arrived at the hospital within 96 hours (4 days) of your symptoms starting

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at tiny particles in the blood called extracellular vesicles to see how they differ in patients with brain aneurysms. It may help doctors better understand these aneurysms and improve treatment.
This trial uses a special light-based sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) to monitor blood flow in the brain continuously after a bleeding stroke (subarachnoid hemorrhage). The goal is to improve early detection of reduced blood flow, which could help prevent complications.
This study tests a treatment for people who have had a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage) and are at risk for delayed brain damage due to narrowed blood vessels. It looks at whether a special procedure to relax the vessels (spasmolysis) combined with raising blood pressure can prevent long-term harm.
This study tests a blood-thinning medicine called tirofiban to see if it helps reduce delayed brain damage after a type of stroke from a bleeding brain aneurysm. It is for people who have already had their aneurysm fixed with coiling, and the medicine is given soon after.
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called nicardipine through a tube in the spine (intrathecal) helps prevent or treat blood vessel tightening that can happen after a brain aneurysm rupture. It is for people who have had a specific type of brain bleed and show signs of vessel spasm.
This trial tests whether giving a blood pressure medication (nicardipine) directly into the spinal fluid through a lumbar drain can improve recovery after a brain aneurysm bleed. It is for patients who have had this type of bleed and are already having a lumbar drain placed for standard care.
