Arm cuff treatment for brain bleeding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) that uses brief periods of blood pressure cuff inflation on your arm to protect the brain after a bleed. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps improve recovery after a brain hemorrhage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have bleeding in the upper part of the brain, confirmed by a CT scan.
- You were able to live independently before the bleeding (no major disability).
- Your stroke symptoms must be significant (NIHSS score of 4 or more) and you must be somewhat responsive (GCS score of 6 or more).
- Treatment must start within 12 hours from when your symptoms began.

This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly squeeze the arm or leg) can help improve recovery after bleeding in the brain from a burst aneurysm. The treatment is given after the aneurysm has been secured, and may help reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
This study tests whether using a blood pressure cuff on the arm to temporarily restrict blood flow (remote ischemic conditioning) can help people recover after a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm. It may reduce damage and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether a simple, non-drug treatment (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly restrict blood flow to your arm) can help people with a recent moderate stroke in the back part of the brain. It aims to improve recovery by preparing the body to better handle the stroke damage.
This trial tests a simple, non-drug treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (repeatedly inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff on an arm) to see if it can help people who have both a recent stroke and signs of heart injury. The goal is to help protect the heart and improve recovery after a stroke.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your leg) to see if it helps brain recovery after aneurysm surgery. It might reduce secondary damage and improve outcomes.
This study tests a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), which uses gentle blood pressure cuffs to briefly restrict blood flow to the arms or legs, with the goal of improving blood flow to the brain after a stroke. It is designed for people who have recently had stroke symptoms and are generally healthy before the stroke.
