Treating delayed brain damage after a brain bleed
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation 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 helps doctors better diagnose and treat a serious delayed complication called cerebral vasospasm that can happen days after a ruptured brain aneurysm. The goal is to improve recovery in patients recovering in the ICU.
This trial studies a spinal fluid (CSF) treatment to help prevent dangerous blood-vessel tightening (vasospasm) after a type of brain bleed caused by an aneurysm. If you qualify, the goal is to reduce complications soon after aneurysm repair.
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 whether starting blood pressure treatment soon after surgery or coiling for a brain aneurysm can improve recovery. It is for people who had a bleeding stroke from a ruptured aneurysm and are in the hospital for treatment.
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.
