First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests whether delivering lidocaine (with or without steroids) directly into an artery in the brain can relieve the severe headaches that often follow a type of stroke called subarachnoid hemorrhage. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for strong opioid drugs. About 15 adults with mild to moderate bleeding will receive this infusion, and researchers will monitor their pain levels and safety.
