Arm or leg cuff treatment for large clot stroke recovery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment (repeated inflation of a blood pressure cuff on your arm or leg) can help people recover better after a stroke caused by a large clot. You must be having a mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) within 24 hours of your stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a stroke caused by a blockage (clot) in a large blood vessel in the front part of your brain, and you are scheduled for a procedure to remove the clot within 24 hours of when you were last seen well.
- You have moderate to severe stroke symptoms (score of 6 or more on a standard stroke scale).
- You did not have a severe disability before this stroke (able to live independently).
- You are not pregnant, do not have uncontrolled high blood pressure, a bleeding disorder, or a serious kidney problem.

This trial tests a simple procedure that may help your brain recover after a stroke. The procedure involves briefly stopping and restarting blood flow in your arm, which may reduce brain damage and improve recovery after the clot removal.
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 trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
This trial compares two ways of removing a blood clot from a large artery in the brain during an ischemic stroke. It might help you by finding out which method restores blood flow more safely and effectively.
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.
