Early magnesium for brain blood vessel spasm after trauma
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving magnesium sulfate early after a traumatic brain bleed can reduce blood vessel spasms in the brain. It may help prevent further damage after a head injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old
- Have a traumatic brain bleed seen on a CT scan within 24 hours of injury
- Be scheduled for a procedure to treat the bleed
- Not have severe liver disease
- Not be allergic to magnesium sulfate
- Not have severe kidney disease (GFR below 15)
- Not be pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate (a mineral given through an IV) soon after a moderate head injury can reduce swelling and inflammation in the brain. It may help improve recovery by calming the brain's immune response.
This study tests if giving magnesium soon after a cardiac arrest can protect the brain and improve recovery. It is for adults who have been brought back to life after a heart stoppage.
This trial tests if giving magnesium into the brain's arteries after removing a clot can improve recovery from a stroke. It is meant for patients who have already had their large artery clot removed.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate through a vein in the emergency room can reduce sudden (non-injury) acute headaches compared with a placebo. It may help people whose headache comes on suddenly and is not caused by an injury.
This trial tests if injecting a cooled magnesium sulfate solution into the brain artery, along with standard clot removal, can improve outcomes for people having a major stroke. The study focuses on strokes caused by a blockage in a large artery at the front of the brain within the past 24 hours.
This trial tests adding a cooled magnesium solution directly into the brain artery during standard clot removal to see if it helps limit brain damage and improve recovery. The magnesium and cooling aim to protect brain tissue while the clot is being taken out.
