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 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 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 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 injecting lidocaine into a specific artery to treat severe migraines. It aims to see if this can stop headache pain that hasn't responded to other treatments.
