Efficacy of Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Analog for Protracted Disturbance of Consciousness due to Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Objective: The efficacy of thyrotropin-releasing hormone tartrate (TRH-T) for treating prolonged disturbance of consciousness due to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether TRH-T was really effective, and what was the recovery factor when it was valid. This was a retrospective study of a single facility. Methods: We treated 208 patients with aneurysmal SAH at our hospital between 2011 and 2017. Among them, we investigated 97 cases in which TRH-T was administered to prolonged disturbance of consciousness.
