Remote arm treatment to lower blood pressure in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple “remote conditioning” method done on the arm can help lower blood pressure in older adults with hypertension. It may help people whose blood pressure is high but not dangerously high at the time of screening.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 65 and 85 years old
- You have a history of high blood pressure (essential hypertension) and your systolic BP is at least 140
- Your blood pressure is not in the very high range at screening (must be below 180/110, and 24-hour average below 170/100)
- You can sign informed consent and are willing to join the study
- Your high blood pressure is not caused by another medical problem (secondary hypertension)
- You do not have certain heart rhythm/heart attack risks, major bleeding/clotting problems, or severe organ problems

This trial tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (briefly restricting blood flow to an arm) can safely lower blood pressure in people with essential hypertension. It is for adults aged 30-75 whose blood pressure is consistently high despite standard care.
This trial tests if a simple, at-home arm cuff treatment (Remote Ischaemic Conditioning) can improve blood flow regulation in the brain of older adults. It may help understand how to protect brain health as we age.
This trial studies whether doing “remote ischemic preconditioning” (repeated brief conditioning of a limb) and mindfulness helps people with mild high blood pressure over the long term. It may help lower blood pressure and improve heart-related health, if you can safely do the required activities.
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.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive procedure on your arm can change certain substances in your blood. It may help researchers understand how to protect the body from injury.
This study is testing a way to manage high blood pressure in older adults (65+) using remote monitoring at home. It aims to see if a personalized treatment plan helped by regular home blood pressure checks can get your numbers under control safely.
