Study Details

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate intravenous lidocaine efficacy and safety in treating headache following non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Through this prospective analysis, the investigators hope to: 1. show that intravenous lidocaine infusion causes a clinically significant reduction in pain scores in patients with moderate/severe headache pain following non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage; 2. show that intravenous lidocaine infusion is safe in treating headache following non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage; 3. and report vasospasm prevalence in the cohort. Participants will receive lidocaine infusion as treatment for non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage headache and provide pain scores (on a numeric pain scale) every two hours the patients are awake for a maximum of seven days. Monitoring for vasospasm will occur as part of the patients regular medical care.

Arms

  • Arm: Lidocaine infusion
    Patients will receive a 100 mg intravenous lidocaine bolus followed by an initial infusion at a rate of 2 mg∙kg -1∙h-1 based on ideal body weight. Lidocaine infusions will continue for a minimum of 1 h post-bolus. If headache numeric pain score decreases at all after initiation of infusion, then the rate will drop to 1 mg∙kg -1∙h-1. If headache numeric pain score starts increasing again, then the rate will return to 2 mg∙kg -1∙h-1, otherwise it will remain at 1 mg∙kg -1∙h-1 for up to 48 h.

Primary Outcome Measure

Reduction of pain [ Time Frame: Benefit should be seen within first 24 h of infusion ]
