What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Stellate Ganglion BlockProcedure or surgery

    Stellate ganglion block under ultra-guide will be administered using 0.25% ropivacaine 10mL

  • PlaceboProcedure or surgery

    Stellate ganglion block under ultra-guide will be administered using 0.9% saline 10mL

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stellate Ganglion Block in people with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Aneurysmal and Cerebral Vasospasm, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital.

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

The incidence of cerebral vasospasm (time frame: Change from baseline at 5day,after subarachnoid hemorrhage). 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 Sep 2020.
