Nasal spray could replace opioids for Post-Aneurysm headaches
NCT ID NCT07116408
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a numbing nasal spray can safely reduce severe headaches after a brain aneurysm bleed. About 20 adults in the ICU will receive the spray along with standard pain meds. Researchers will compare pain levels and opioid use before and after treatment to see if the spray helps without causing side effects.
