Improving blood flow after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) to improve blood flow to the brain after a stroke. It uses a blood pressure cuff on your arm and compression boots on your legs to help your brain recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had symptoms of a stroke.
- You are able to walk on your own before the stroke (with little or no help).
- You do not have serious injuries or skin problems on your arms or legs.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using mild, temporary pressure on your arm or leg) to see if it can improve recovery after a brain aneurysm bleed. It is for people who have already had a minimally invasive procedure to fix the aneurysm.
This study looks at how blood flow affects muscle function after a stroke. It may help researchers understand recovery better and find new ways to improve movement.
This trial tests if a limb therapy called RIC can help people recover from a stroke caused by small vessel disease. It is designed for people aged 50-65 who have had a recent stroke and have few other health issues.
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 a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning. It uses a blood pressure cuff on your arm to temporarily restrict blood flow, which may help improve blood flow to the brain after a stroke. The goal is to see if this can strengthen the brain's backup blood vessels and aid recovery.
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.
