Beta-sitosterol for recovery after a brain aneurysm bleed
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a natural compound called beta-sitosterol (from Gastrodia elata) to see if it can help people recover better after a brain aneurysm bleed. You must have had your aneurysm treated within 48 hours and be in relatively stable condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You had a specific type of stroke called a ruptured brain aneurysm (spontaneous aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage).
- The aneurysm was treated with surgery or a catheter procedure within 48 hours of your first symptoms.
- At the time of the stroke, you were awake or drowsy but not in a coma (WFNS grade I–III).
- You do not have severe heart, liver, kidney, or blood problems, or allergies to the study drug (Gastrodia elata).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests an investigational drug called Huperzine A, given as an injection after treatment for a bleeding brain aneurysm, to see if it can help prevent or reduce thinking and memory problems that sometimes occur after surgery or procedures.
This trial tests if a medicine called cilostazol can reduce the risk of a delayed shortage of blood in the brain after having a bleeding aneurysm treated. It aims to improve recovery by preventing a common complication called delayed cerebral ischemia.
This trial tests whether giving aspirin early after a ruptured brain aneurysm is treated can help prevent complications like vasospasm (a narrowing of brain blood vessels) and improve recovery. It is for people who have already had the aneurysm secured within 48 hours.
This study tests whether giving the protein albumin can improve recovery after a brain aneurysm has burst. It is for people who have had their aneurysm treated quickly after symptoms started.
This trial tests whether adding anisodine, a medicine that may protect brain cells, helps people recover better after a stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. It is given after a procedure to remove the clot.
This study tests whether starting blood pressure lowering treatment earlier after aneurysm repair improves recovery. If you've recently had a bleeding brain aneurysm treated, this may help reduce complications.
