A method for treating vasospasm may include measuring cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to obtain a baseline biomarker value. The method may include administering a first dose of a trehalose solution. The method may include draining the CSF to maintain a current intracranial pressure (ICP). The method may include measuring a trehalose concentration in the CSF. The method may include measuring a biomarker value in the CSF. The method may end based on a determination that the measured biomarker value indicates a predetermined biomarker concentration.
