Remote blood pressure cuff treatment for diabetic kidney disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if a device that briefly squeezes your arm (like a blood pressure cuff) can help protect your kidneys from further damage caused by diabetes. You will use the device at home by yourself.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes and take at least one diabetes medicine.
- Your kidney function (eGFR) is between 15 and 60, which means moderate to severe kidney disease.
- You have high levels of protein in your urine (over 300 mg per day).
- You are able to use the device at home and can handle having your arm squeezed for up to 5 minutes during a test run.
- You do not have severe heart failure, a life expectancy under 6 months, or serious blood vessel problems in your arms or legs.

This study tests a personalized medication approach to lower kidney and heart risks in people with type 2 diabetes and early-to-moderate kidney disease. It may help you if you have a high chance of heart problems and can start new medications.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
This study tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a special cuff) can help slow down early-stage diabetic eye disease in people with type 2 diabetes. You join the study to potentially prevent your retinopathy from getting worse.
This trial tests whether a simple “arm cuff” treatment done before a heart artery procedure can help protect the kidneys and the heart in people with congestive heart failure. If it works, it may lower the chance of kidney injury around the time of the scan/stent procedure.
This trial tests whether a simple “arm conditioning” technique done remotely before a procedure can help prevent kidney injury caused by contrast dye used during certain heart catheter tests. You might benefit if you’re having a coronary angiogram and your kidney function is reduced, but you’re not on dialysis.
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.
