Clinical Trial Summary

A Randomized Clinical Trial with security and dose testing of Sildenafil Citrate in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a rupture of a cerebral aneurism for prevention of cerebral vasospasm. The cerebral vasospasm is a decrease in blood flow that occurs when the intracranial vessels lose their capability of self-control of dilations and contractions. Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage without neurological deficits who underwent endovascular or surgical correction of the aneurysm can participate in this trial. They will be randomized to a daily doses of 75 mg of Sildenafil, 150 mg of Sildenafil or Placebo from the third to the 14th day post bleeding. Today there is no proven clinical treatment for prevention of cerebral vasospasm.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary New neurological Deficit Development of clinical symptoms suggestive of vasospasm, which are: afasia, hemiparesis, disorientation, or worsening of consciousness without hydrocephalus or expanding cloth. To access level of consciousness we will use the Glasgow Coma Scale. From third to 14th day post subarachnoid hemorrhage Yes
Secondary Transcranial Ecodoppler Signs of vasospasm in in transcranial ecodoppler. From the third to the 14th day after subarachnoid hemorrhage Yes
Secondary Mortality General mortality (for any causes). From the third to the 14th day before subarachnoid hemorrhage. Yes
Secondary Side effects Drug side effect: hypotension, visual blurring, nasal congestion, angina pectoris, asthma crisis, AV block, digestive bleeding, and priapism. From the third to the 14th day after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Yes
Secondary Time to discharge Time to discharge (period of hospital stay). From the third day after subarachnoid hemorrhage to discharge. No
Secondary Rankin Scale Modified Rankin scale at discharge. At discharge from the hospital. Yes
