Nerve block to improve brain recovery after bleeding stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve block, called a stellate ganglion block, to see if it can improve brain recovery after a bleeding stroke. The block is given near the neck to support blood flow to the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You had a bleeding stroke (subarachnoid hemorrhage) within the last 72 hours.
- You are planning to have surgery (either coiling or clipping) to fix the aneurysm.
- You are in a moderate state of consciousness (Hunt-Hess grade 2 or 3).
- You do not have severe bleeding disorders, infections or injuries near the neck, known allergies to local anesthetics, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests a procedure called a stellate ganglion block, which is an injection near a nerve in the neck, to see if it can improve sleep quality in people with prolonged disorders of consciousness after brain injury, following a surgery to implant a spinal cord stimulator.
This trial tests a nerve block injection (stellate ganglion block) to treat complex regional pain syndrome, a chronic pain condition. It may help if your pain is severe and other treatments haven't worked.
This study tests whether a numbing injection around a nerve in the neck (called a stellate ganglion block) can reduce inflammation and help the heart recover during bypass surgery. It is for older adults having elective open-heart surgery.
This study tests whether a nerve-blocking injection (stellate ganglion block) can reduce confusion and help restore normal sleep-wake cycles in older adults staying in the intensive care unit. Researchers hope this treatment may help patients recover faster and feel more alert.
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.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) can reduce complications from placing an artery catheter during heart surgery. It is for people with weak heart function (EF below 35%) or severe lung hypertension who are expected to have a long surgery.
