Which blood pressure drug works best after stroke surgery?
NCT ID NCT07364201
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 30 adults who had brain surgery after a hemorrhagic stroke and needed blood pressure control in the ICU. Researchers compared two IV medicines, nicardipine and labetalol, to see which one better controlled blood pressure and heart rate during the first 24 hours. The goal is to help doctors choose the best drug to prevent complications like re-bleeding.
