Brain bleed study halted: sodium Lactate's promise unproven
NCT ID NCT04141371
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if sodium lactate could improve blood flow in the brain after a severe type of stroke called subarachnoid hemorrhage. Only 3 patients were enrolled before the study was stopped early. The goal was to measure changes in brain blood flow using a special scan, but no conclusions can be drawn due to the small number of participants.
