Spinal fluid test may predict brain damage after aneurysm rupture

NCT ID NCT04998370

First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looked at 366 adults who had a type of bleeding stroke called aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Researchers measured hemoglobin levels in the patients' spinal fluid to see if it could help detect secondary brain injury, such as narrowed blood vessels or delayed brain damage, within the first 14 days. The goal was to find a better way to monitor complications, not to test a new treatment.
