Abstract

The article examines the efficacy of intrathecally (IT) nicardipine in treating cerebral vasospasm. Methodology-wise, the treatment was administered to six patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Based on the results, the researchers concluded that larger scale studies evaluating the efficacy of IT nicardipine are warranted.
