Back-Drain drug may stop brain artery spasms after aneurysm rupture
NCT ID NCT07246629
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a calcium channel blocker (nicardipine) through a lumbar drain can prevent dangerous artery spasms and delayed brain damage in people who have had a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm. About 214 adults with mild to moderate bleeds will receive the drug or a placebo through the drain. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the risk of vasospasm and improves recovery.
