NCT06346015

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to Explore and verify whether 40Hz audio and binaural beat 40Hz audio can improve the postoperative cognitive dysfunction seen in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage were selected and randomized into intervention group (audio adjuvant group) and control group (conventional treatment group). Patients in the intervention group will receive audio therapy after surgery, and patients in the control group will receive usual care. EEG, fMRI and mRS scores were evaluated after 3 months of follow-up.
