Testing RIC to help children with moyamoya after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a treatment called RIC (remote ischemic conditioning) is safe and helpful for children with moyamoya disease who undergo revascularization surgery. It aims to improve outcomes after surgery and reduce risk, while carefully tracking safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 0 to 18 years old
- Have moyamoya disease that is in Suzuki stage III or IV
- Have had symptoms caused by poor blood flow, confirmed by MRI (like TIA, stroke, seizures, or bleeding/hemorrhage)
- Have already had (or are part of) the required blood-vessel imaging test called digital subtraction angiography
- Have no serious liver or kidney problems and no major bleeding/clotting problems
- Not have certain heart conditions or other major health problems that would affect participation; also able to return for follow-up for 3 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a daily aspirin regimen combined with a blood-pressure cuff treatment on the arm can slow the progression of mild moyamoya disease. It aims to reduce the risk of strokes and bleeding events.
This trial follows people with moyamoya disease who are treated with medication only, and it also looks at first-degree relatives. The goal is to understand long-term outcomes and whether careful conservative care is beneficial over time.
This study tests if statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) can help people with Moyamoya disease. The trial will follow patients who receive either surgery or standard care to see if adding a statin improves outcomes.
This study is building a tool to predict how people with moyamoya disease will do after brain surgery to improve blood flow. If you are an adult with moyamoya and are scheduled for this surgery, you may be able to help.
This study looks at how Moyamoya disease changes over time and what predicts outcomes. It uses approved brain imaging and, likely, thinking/memory tests to understand prognosis.
This study looks at why some people with moyamoya disease have trouble with thinking and memory. It may help find better ways to understand and treat these problems.
