Summary

This study tests if delivering lidocaine (a numbing medicine) and steroids directly into an artery in the scalp can safely relieve the intense headaches that follow a type of brain bleed called subarachnoid hemorrhage. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for strong opioid painkillers. The trial will enroll 15 adults with mild to moderate bleeds.
