Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Older Adults Starting Exercise
This study tests a simple, non-invasive treatment called Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) in older adults who have been referred to exercise. RIC involves gently restricting blood flow to the arm for short periods, which may help improve how well your body adapts to exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years or older
- You have been referred to an exercise program because of difficulty moving, being out of shape, or risk of falling
- You currently exercise no more than 2 times per week
- Your heart disease must be stable (not getting worse)
- You must not have any bone, nerve, or metabolic condition that makes exercise unsafe
- You are able to follow directions and safely take part in exercise

This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive pressure cuff technique (called remote ischemic conditioning) can affect your spinal reflexes. It is for healthy adults to understand how the nervous system responds.
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.
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 study tests a non-invasive method called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief cycles of inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm. It may help improve health outcomes for people with spinal cord injury who are not currently able to exercise.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive arm cuff treatment (remote ischemic conditioning) can help people recover from a moderate stroke caused by a blockage in a major artery. You must start the treatment within 48 hours of your first symptoms.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a simple remote method that briefly reduces blood flow in the arm (called ischemic conditioning) can help people with brain small-vessel disease or an acute ischemic stroke. Participants are monitored by phone and, for stroke patients, through a Mobile Stroke Unit.
