Blood pressure lowering after brain bleed with remifentanil and dexmedetomidine
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether two medicines (remifentanil and dexmedetomidine) can safely and quickly lower blood pressure in people who have just had a brain bleed. It may help reduce damage from the bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a blood pressure medicine called clevidipine given through an IV to people with a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). The goal is to see if quickly lowering blood pressure helps prevent more bleeding and improve recovery.
This study tests whether a blood pressure medication called nicardipine can quickly and safely lower blood pressure in people who have a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) and are seen at the hospital within 6 hours of symptoms starting. The goal is to improve outcomes by bringing blood pressure down fast.
This Phase 4 study tests whether using a specific calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) for a longer period after a successful clot-removal procedure helps people do better in the long term. It may help improve outcomes after ischemic stroke where the clot is successfully treated.
This trial tests three common sedatives (propofol, midazolam, and dexmedetomidine) to see which works best for controlling pressure inside the skull after a traumatic brain injury. The goal is to find the safest and most effective option for patients in the intensive care unit.
This study tests whether lowering blood pressure quickly inside a specialized ambulance (mobile stroke unit) can improve outcomes for people with bleeding in the brain. It aims to see if this early treatment is safe and effective.
This study compares two types of light sedation (medication to help you relax) during a procedure to remove a blood clot in the brain after a stroke. The goal is to find which sedation method helps patients recover better.
