Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug cilostazol to standard care helps people recover better after a brain bleed caused by a ruptured aneurysm. About 630 adults will receive either cilostazol or a placebo for 14 days, and their recovery will be checked at 6 months. The goal is to see if this combination reduces disability and improves daily function.
