Nerve block for brain bleeding recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a nerve block near the neck can improve brain function recovery after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (a type of stroke from a bleeding brain aneurysm). It is for people within 72 hours of onset who are having surgery to fix the aneurysm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You had a subarachnoid hemorrhage (brain aneurysm bleed) within the last 3 days
- You are scheduled for surgery to clip or coil the aneurysm
- Your condition is rated Hunt-Hess grade 2 or 3 (moderate severity)
- You do not have severe bleeding disorders, neck infections, or neck structure changes from past treatments
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

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 study tests whether a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) can help improve sleep in patients who have been unconscious for a long time after a brain injury. If you are scheduled for a spinal cord stimulator implant, this treatment might help you sleep better.
This study tests whether a nerve block in the neck (called a stellate ganglion block) can reduce inflammation and improve recovery in elderly patients undergoing heart surgery. If you qualify, you will receive this block along with standard anesthesia, and the researchers will measure markers of inflammation in your blood.
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 tests if a nerve stimulation device can prevent a dangerous blood vessel spasm after a brain aneurysm bleed. It may help reduce damage and improve recovery.
This trial looks at a procedure that blocks specific nerves to help prevent or treat blood vessel spasm in the brain after a ruptured brain aneurysm. If you qualify, it may help improve blood flow to the brain during recovery in the ICU.
