Evaluating the effectiveness of nicardipine prolonged-release implants in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage: a meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis
Nicardipine prolonged-release implants are effective in reducing the incidence of cerebral vasospasm and DCI in SAH patients, with potential benefits in preventing these complications. However, they do not significantly impact functional outcomes, indicating the need for complementary rehabilitation strategies. Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm these findings.
