Pain Management After Cardiac Arrest Recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study examines how to better treat pain in patients who have survived cardiac arrest and are unconscious in the hospital. Researchers want to understand pain experiences and test pain-relief strategies during early recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You experienced cardiac arrest (your heart stopped) outside a hospital and were successfully revived
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your heart has been beating on its own for at least 20 minutes without chest compressions

This study looks at whether targeting a specific blood pressure after a cardiac arrest can improve outcomes. It is mainly for people who are in intensive care and need a breathing machine because they are in a deep coma.
This study tests a treatment approach aimed at protecting the brain and supporting better blood flow to the brain after a cardiac arrest. It may help some people who are in a coma right after the event recover more safely or with less brain injury.
This trial tests a new approach to care for people who have had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and have been revived by emergency services. The goal is to see if a structured treatment plan can prevent another arrest before reaching the hospital.
This study tests emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
This Phase 3 trial studies treatments given after a person survives an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to improve recovery and survival. It is for patients who stay unconscious for a short time after circulation returns, and who meet safety conditions.
This study looks at patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious after their heartbeat returns. The goal is to find early signs that predict when someone will wake up.
