About this study

Official title: Neuroinflammatory Response and Headache Control in Patients After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (HASH4-CSF) - An Observational Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the Neuroinflammatory response and headache pain after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Read the detailed description

Persistent headache is a significant medical issue that affects 20% of patients who survive an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This headache may last years, severely affecting quality of life. Laboratory evidence suggests that the persistent headache may be a result of a maladaptive neuroinflammatory response to the hemorrhage injury that is more vigorous than necessary. The goal of this study is to measure key immunomodulators in the blood and the cerebrospinal fluid of these patients in order to determine the magnitude and dynamics of their neuroinflammatory response. In addition, the investigators will collect and analyze observational data about the success of medications to treat headache, with a specific focus on the anti-inflammatory agent dexamethasone, in managing acute headache pain and preventing the development of persistent headaches in patients after SAH.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Characterization of the neuroinflammatory response in the CSF and blood of patients with non-traumatic SAH.

    Measured: 10 days

  2. Determination of correlation between the neuroinflammatory response and severity/presence of headache pain.

    Measured: 10 days

  3. Determination of correlation between the neuroinflammatory response and development of chronic headache.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison of the neuroinflammatory response in the CSF and blood in patients treated with dexamethasone versus other analgesics post SAH.

    Measured: 10 days

  2. Comparison of dexamethasone versus other analgesics in their ability to improve measures of quality of life.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Aneurysmal and Headache, run by MaineHealth at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Characterization of the neuroinflammatory response in the CSF and blood of patients with non-traumatic SAH. (time frame: 10 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jan 2024.
