Early magnesium sulfate for brain blood vessel spasms after head injury
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate early after a traumatic brain injury can prevent blood vessels in the brain from tightening (a condition called vasospasm), which can reduce blood flow and cause further damage. If you've had a head injury with bleeding around the brain, this treatment might help improve your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old.
- Have a head injury that caused bleeding around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage), diagnosed within 24 hours of the injury.
- Be scheduled for a procedure to treat the bleeding (such as endovascular or surgical treatment).
- Not have severe liver or kidney disease.
- Not be allergic to magnesium sulfate.
- Not be pregnant.

This study tests whether giving magnesium sulfate (a common mineral supplement) soon after a moderate head injury can reduce brain swelling and inflammation. It aims to see if this treatment helps protect the brain and improve recovery.
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 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 whether giving magnesium directly into the artery during mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain) improves recovery after a severe ischemic stroke. Magnesium may help protect brain cells from further damage after the clot is removed.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate before or during back surgery helps prevent 'emergence agitation' (a state of confusion or restlessness when waking up from anesthesia). It might help you recover more smoothly from your lumbar disc surgery.
This study tests whether giving a cold magnesium solution directly to the brain during clot removal improves recovery after a stroke. It aims to protect brain cells while the blocked vessel is reopened.
