Preventing brain injury after aneurysm bleeding with blood pressure cuff treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a simple, non-invasive technique called remote ischemic preconditioning to help prevent lack of blood flow to the brain after a bleeding brain aneurysm. It works by repeatedly inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff on an arm or leg, which may help protect the brain from further damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had a bleeding brain aneurysm (subarachnoid hemorrhage) confirmed by a CT scan or lumbar puncture.
- You must have an aneurysm in your brain confirmed by imaging tests (CT angiogram or cerebral angiogram).
- You or your legal representative must sign a consent form to take part.
- You must be covered by a social security system.
- You cannot have certain arm or leg conditions, such as ulcers, fractures, or deep vein thrombosis, that would make the treatment unsafe.

This study tests whether starting blood pressure lowering treatment earlier after aneurysm repair improves recovery. If you've recently had a bleeding brain aneurysm treated, this may help reduce complications.
This trial tests if a medicine called cilostazol can reduce the risk of a delayed shortage of blood in the brain after having a bleeding aneurysm treated. It aims to improve recovery by preventing a common complication called delayed cerebral ischemia.
This study tests whether using a blood pressure cuff on the arm to temporarily restrict blood flow (remote ischemic conditioning) can help people recover after a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm. It may reduce damage and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your leg) to see if it helps brain recovery after aneurysm surgery. It might reduce secondary damage and improve outcomes.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly squeeze the arm or leg) can help improve recovery after bleeding in the brain from a burst aneurysm. The treatment is given after the aneurysm has been secured, and may help reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
This study tests a treatment for people who have had a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage) and are at risk for delayed brain damage due to narrowed blood vessels. It looks at whether a special procedure to relax the vessels (spasmolysis) combined with raising blood pressure can prevent long-term harm.
