Thinking and memory after brain aneurysm surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how surgery for a ruptured brain aneurysm (a bulging blood vessel that has burst) affects thinking and memory. By participating, you may help doctors better understand which patients are at risk for cognitive problems after surgery, and why some recover better than others. If you join, you will have an MRI scan and complete some tests of your thinking and memory — this may happen during your regular follow-up visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You had a type of stroke called subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the space around the brain) caused by a ruptured cerebral aneurysm.
- Your aneurysm was treated with surgical clipping (a small metal clip placed at the base of the aneurysm to stop blood flow into it).
- You must be able to undergo an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan without any contraindications (like certain metal implants).
- You must not have been diagnosed with dementia before the hemorrhage, and you must be able to complete an in-person assessment.

This study tests whether combining thinking exercises with physical movements can help people recover better after a brain aneurysm ruptures and bleeds. You'd start the training early in your recovery (2-7 days after treatment) to see if it helps your memory, attention, and ability to move.
This study looks at how severe narrowing of brain arteries may affect memory and thinking over time. It involves people who have had a mini-stroke or mild stroke and aims to understand the changes in cognitive function.
This study looks at patients who had surgery to remove part of the skull after bleeding from a brain aneurysm. It aims to understand who might benefit from this procedure and how it affects recovery.
This trial uses brain MRI scans and memory/brain-function tests in people who are recovering from a specific type of brain bleed (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage). It aims to understand how the brain’s memory area changes after the event and how that may relate to memory function during rehabilitation.
This study looks at a comprehensive treatment approach for people who have a confirmed brain (intracranial) subarachnoid aneurysm. It may help by comparing or improving how aneurysms are managed to reduce future bleeding risk.
This study follows people with a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm in real-world hospital settings. It aims to better understand delayed brain damage after the bleed, which could help improve care.
