NCT04613960

Brief Summary

A randomized clinical trial investigating magnesium sulphate ability to reduce risk of cerebral vasospasm after acute subarachnoid hemorrhage hence improving outcome particularly in haptoglobin 2-2 patients who are highly susceptible for severe complications after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical evidence and TCD measured MFV indicative of vasospasm

    Mean flow velocity measurements by TCD indicative of cerebral vasospasm. New clinical neurological deficit determined by comparing NIHSS pre and post detected vasospasm.

    14 days after onset

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Poor MRS functional score

    3 months after the onset

Study Arms (2)

Magnesium arm

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

patients randomized to magnesium therapy at a fixed daily dose of 64 mmol reconstituted in 0.9% saline via continuous intravenous infusion for 14 days after hemorrhage onset, or until discharge or death if it occurred.

Drug: Magnesium sulfate

Placebo arm

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

patients randomized to placebo therapy with 0.9% saline (without active component) via same protocol.

Drug: normal saline

Interventions

MgSO4 (at a fixed daily dose of 64 mmol reconstituted in 0.9% saline) via continuous intravenous infusion for 14 days after onset

Magnesium arm

Placebo treatment

Placebo arm

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients of both genders
  • age over 18 years old
  • diagnosis of acute aSAH (≤ 48 hours) confirmed with angiographic evidence of cerebral aneurysm and CT brain on admission.

You may not qualify if:
