Treating delayed brain damage after a brain bleed
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in critical care after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding around the brain).
- Your aneurysm has been treated with either surgical clipping or a catheter procedure.
- Doctors suspect or have confirmed you have severe narrowing of the brain's blood vessels (cerebral vasospasm).
- You are not pregnant and your treating doctor believes you will likely survive longer than five days.

This trial tests an endovascular procedure (a minimally invasive catheter-based treatment delivered through blood vessels) combined with a heart medication called milrinone to treat cerebral vasospasm—dangerous blood vessel narrowing that can occur after a ruptured brain aneurysm. The goal is to improve neurological recovery and prevent stroke.
This study looks at ways to find and treat delayed brain damage (reduced blood flow) that can happen days after a brain bleed from a burst aneurysm. The goal is to improve recovery by catching and treating this complication earlier.
This trial is for people who had a brain bleed from a burst aneurysm and need intensive care. It tests better ways to diagnose and treat delayed brain injury that can happen days or weeks later.
This study tests a simple, non-invasive technique called remote ischemic preconditioning to help prevent lack of blood flow to the brain after a bleeding brain aneurysm. It works by repeatedly inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff on an arm or leg, which may help protect the brain from further damage.
This trial tests a blood pressure management strategy for patients in the ICU after a bleeding stroke caused by a brain aneurysm. It aims to see if carefully controlling blood pressure can help prevent a dangerous tightening of blood vessels in the brain.
This study follows people with a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm in real-world hospital settings. It aims to better understand delayed brain damage after the bleed, which could help improve care.
