Stroke recovery: Testing blood flow boost therapy
This study tests a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning. It uses a blood pressure cuff on your arm to temporarily restrict blood flow, which may help improve blood flow to the brain after a stroke. The goal is to see if this can strengthen the brain's backup blood vessels and aid recovery.
ShenyangAges 40 years+ - NCT05957523Recruiting

Remote arm treatment to protect heart and kidneys in heart failure
This trial tests whether a simple “arm cuff” treatment done before a heart artery procedure can help protect the kidneys and the heart in people with congestive heart failure. If it works, it may lower the chance of kidney injury around the time of the scan/stent procedure.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07420153Recruiting
Arm cuff treatment before surgery to prevent confusion

Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT07383909Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for type A aortic dissection surgery
This trial tests a technique called remote ischemic preconditioning, which involves temporarily reducing blood flow to a limb to protect the heart and brain during emergency surgery for a severe aortic tear (type A aortic dissection). The goal is to see if this can improve recovery and reduce complications.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT04779008Recruiting
Remote arm treatment to help blood flow after heart bypass
This trial studies whether a simple, at-home type of treatment using brief arm blood-flow changes can improve blood flow to the heart and outcomes after CABG (heart bypass surgery). It may help some people recover better by protecting the heart around the time of surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT06977230Recruiting
Arm-cuff protection before heart bypass in diabetes
This study tests whether a simple arm-cuff procedure done before heart bypass surgery can help protect the heart in people with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if this technique reduces complications during and after the operation.
MuğlaAges 45–85 - NCT06236633Recruiting
Blocking an artery before rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests a technique called ischemic preconditioning, where doctors temporarily block a main artery in your gut before rectal cancer surgery to see if it helps reduce complications. If you are scheduled for this type of surgery and meet the health criteria, the study may offer more information about safer recovery.
MontpellierAges 18–90 - NCT07365501Enrolling by invitation
Blood pressure cuff therapy for heart failure patients
This trial tests if a simple, non-invasive blood pressure cuff procedure can improve blood vessel health in people with possible heart failure. It is an early, single-session study to see how the body responds.
Cuenca, CuencaAges 18 years+ - NCT05147831Recruiting
Remote arm treatment to prevent kidney injury from contrast dye
This trial tests whether a simple “arm conditioning” technique done remotely before a procedure can help prevent kidney injury caused by contrast dye used during certain heart catheter tests. You might benefit if you’re having a coronary angiogram and your kidney function is reduced, but you’re not on dialysis.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07746102Recruiting
Preconditioning therapy for chronic kidney disease patients
This study tests whether repeated brief periods of reduced blood flow (like a gentle squeeze on your arm) can improve how your body handles energy and blood flow. It is designed for people with any stage of chronic kidney disease (G1–G5).
LodzAges 18 years+ - NCT06501222Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for kidney protection in CKD
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06323018Recruiting
Remote preconditioning for cemented hip replacement recovery
This trial tests whether a simple, safe treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your arm just before surgery) can help people recover better after cemented hip replacement. It is for patients aged 66 and older who are scheduled for this surgery.
Tartu, TartuAges 65–90 - NCT07181356Recruiting
Remote Ischemic Preconditioning for Heart Attack Recovery
This study tests whether a simple, noninvasive procedure called Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) — where a blood pressure cuff is briefly tightened on an arm or leg — can improve long-term recovery for people who have had a heart attack. The treatment is done many times over a long period to see if it helps the heart heal and reduces future problems.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07208500Recruiting
Arm cuff treatment before surgery to protect lungs in older adults
This study tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment (briefly inflating a blood pressure cuff on your arm) before surgery can reduce lung complications in older adults having non-heart, non-lung surgery. It may help protect your lungs during and after the operation.
ShanghaiAges 65 years+ - NCT05929508Recruiting
Rebuilding leg strength after above-knee amputation
This study tests a new approach to improve walking ability and leg function after an above-knee (transfemoral) amputation. It may help by targeting muscle loss and supporting safer, stronger mobility over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04630535Recruiting
Using brief arm treatment before bypass surgery
This trial studies whether a simple, remote “arm treatment” given before scheduled aorto-bifemoral bypass surgery can help protect blood flow during surgery. If you fit the surgery plan and don’t have certain excluded conditions, the study may offer an added protective approach.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ischemic preconditioning?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 24 recruiting ischemic preconditioning studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a ischemic preconditioning trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a ischemic preconditioning trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
