Nerve block may boost brain recovery after hemorrhagic stroke

NCT ID NCT07652749

First seen Jun 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a stellate ganglion block (a nerve block injection) can improve neurological outcomes in people who have had a bleeding stroke from a ruptured aneurysm. The procedure is done before surgery to reduce brain artery spasms and improve blood flow. Researchers will follow 560 patients for 90 days to see if it leads to better function and fewer complications.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

stellate ganglion block (nerve block with ropivacaine)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple procedure to improve recovery and reduce complications after a bleeding stroke.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage trial with no phase, so results are uncertain. The procedure carries risks like infection or nerve damage, and the benefit for long-term recovery is not yet proven.

Conditions
