About this trial

The purpose of the MIL-SAH trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of middle meningeal artery (MMA) lidocaine infusion for the treatment of headache in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The trial aims to determine whether MMA lidocaine infusion reduces headache severity during the first 72 hours following endovascular aneurysm treatment compared with placebo.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Lidocaine hydrochloride

    Drug

    Participants will receive lidocaine hydrochloride at a dose of 50 mg per side (10 mg/mL; 5 mL). The infusion is delivered into each MMA over 5 minutes by manual injection, resulting in a total injection time of approximately 10 minutes and a total lidocaine hydrochloride dose of 100 mg. The trial intervention is performed only during the endovascular treatment session. There is no repeated dosing of trial medication.

  • Isotonic saline

    Drug

    Participants will receive 5 mL of isotonic saline per side. The infusion is delivered into each MMA over 5 minutes by manual injection, resulting in a total injection time of approximately 10 minutes. The trial intervention is performed only during the endovascular treatment session. There is no repeated dosing of trial medication.
