Tests treatment safety and results for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (aSAH)
Official title Efficacy of Scalp Block in Managing Post Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Headache in Critically Ill Patients. A Single Centre Randomized Controlled Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07307508
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating neurological disorder associated with significant mortality and morbidity rates, arising not just from the hemorrhage itself but also because of the catastrophic multisystem sequelae that can accompany the condition. Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm accounts for up to 85% of instances of SAH, occurring in approximately 3 to 25 people per 100,000 annually in most populations.
