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 bleeding stroke from a ruptured brain aneurysm. About 214 adults with mild to moderate bleeding will be randomly assigned to receive the drug or a placebo through the drain. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the risk of symptomatic vasospasm and delayed brain injury.
