Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Study Design and Location:

Investigators propose a double blinded, randomized (1:1), placebo-controlled, multicenter, clinical trial including patients with acute aSAH. Participants will be allocated either to MgSO4 or placebo. The permission to conduct the study protocol will be considered for approval by the ethics committee of General Committee of Teaching Hospitals and Institutes (GCTHI), Egypt. The study will be conducted in 3 centers; El-Materia Educational Hospital, Ain Shams University Hospitals and Nasr City Insurance Hospital. The assigned centers for this study represent large-volume referral stroke centers that provide comprehensive management protocols for aSAH.
