New brain procedure aims to zap headache pain, cut opioid use

NCT ID NCT07294118

Summary

This study is testing if a medication infusion directly into a brain artery can relieve the severe headaches that follow a type of brain bleed called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Researchers will give 15 patients either lidocaine, lidocaine with a steroid, or no infusion during a standard brain scan procedure. The main goals are to see if the treatment reduces pain and lowers the need for opioid painkillers.
