Limited value: Was a product used in hospitals to control vasospasm in subarachnoid hemorrhages secondary to aneurysmal rupture, a few years ago. Did not work well, and have not seen it employed for many years. Doubtful it would be best choice in migraine or stroke therapy, but many older meds are being bio-engineered and return in a new form.

SAH: The only indication for nimodipine is subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It has been shown to improve outcomes after SAH.

Subarachnoid bleed: Nimodipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps open narrow blood vessels in the brain due to spasm from bleeding in the space around the brain vessels: a condition called subarachnoid hemorrhage.
