First seen Dec 10, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether a numbing injection through the nose (sphenopalatine ganglion block) can better control severe headaches in people with a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage). About 40 adults with a secured aneurysm will receive either standard pain meds alone or standard meds plus the block. The goal is to see if the block lowers pain scores and reduces the need for opioids during hospital stay and at discharge.
