Remote arm cuff treatment for aneurysm stent patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple, noninvasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your arm) can help reduce the risk of small brain infarctions (tiny strokes) after stent treatment for an unruptured brain aneurysm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have an unruptured brain aneurysm that will be treated with a stent.
- You are willing to undergo a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (temporary arm blood pressure cuff inflations).
- You are not pregnant.
- You have not had a heart attack in the past month.
- You do not have arm injuries, nerve problems, or blood vessel disease in your arms, and your kidney function is normal.

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 safe, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your leg) to see if it helps brain recovery after aneurysm surgery. It might reduce secondary damage and improve outcomes.
This study tests whether using a blood pressure cuff on the arm to temporarily restrict blood flow (remote ischemic conditioning) can help people recover after a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm. It may reduce damage and improve outcomes.
This trial tests if using a blood pressure cuff on the arm (to briefly restrict blood flow) before and after carotid stent placement can help reduce the risk of stroke. It is for people who have recently had stroke symptoms from a moderate to severe carotid artery blockage.
This trial tests whether remote ischemic preconditioning (repeated brief blood flow stops to an arm or leg) can prevent brain damage after a bleeding stroke from a ruptured aneurysm. The goal is to improve recovery and prevent complications.
This trial tests whether a “remote conditioning” procedure done on the arm, along with endovascular stenting (a catheter-based treatment), can reduce problems from severely narrowed brain arteries. It is aimed at adults who have had a stroke or “mini-stroke” caused by this artery narrowing.
