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
DrugParticipants 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
DrugParticipants 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.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Headache Severity
Daily maximum headache severity over the first 72 hours following the trial intervention
Secondary outcomes
Headache relief
Proportion of participants with headache relief (none to mild headache, NRS≤3) at 2 hours following the trial intervention
Opioid consumption
Total opioid consumption (oral morphine equivalents) during the first 72 hours following the trial intervention
Patient global assessment
Patient global assessment (PGA) score at 72 hours following the trial intervention. Participants will be asked to respond to the question, "Overall, how do you feel about your level of headache control since the treatment?" using a 5-point scale (poor, fair, good, very good, or excellent).
Adverse Events Related to Intraarterial Lidocaine Injection
Proportion of participants with new onset of facial paresis, facial numbness, diplopia, blurry vision, or dizziness during the first 24 hours following the trial intervention
