Hemorrhagic strokes account for about 10-15% of all strokes and have a higher mortality rate than other types [1.7.1, 1.7.3]. The pressing question for clinicians is, what medication is used for hemorrhagic stroke to give patients the best chance of survival and recovery?

Studies show that up to 48% of stroke survivors experience chronic pain, making effective pain management a critical aspect of recovery [1.9.1]. The question of whether morphine is contraindicated in stroke, however, remains a topic of significant clinical debate due to its potential risks.
