Study Summary

This trial will compare the effects of two drugs on stroke patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've had surgery to treat a brain aneurysm that bled into the space around their brain. They must not have rebleeding, be allergic to cilostazol, pregnant, or have bleeding disorders unrelated to medication use. People with severe other illnesses or needing blood thinners after surgery can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if taking cilostazol along with nimodipine reduces complications like delayed brain damage and vessel spasms more effectively than just nimodipine alone after treatment for a ruptured brain aneurysm.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Cilostazol may cause headaches, diarrhea, abnormal stools, palpitations (feeling your heart beat), dizziness, and rash. Nimodipine has similar side effects including low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and gastrointestinal upset.
