Boosting brain blood flow after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), which uses gentle blood pressure cuffs to briefly restrict blood flow to the arms or legs, with the goal of improving blood flow to the brain after a stroke. It is designed for people who have recently had stroke symptoms and are generally healthy before the stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years.
- You have had stroke symptoms.
- You were able to do your usual activities before the stroke (score of less than 2 on the modified Rankin scale).
- You or someone who can decide for you can give permission for the study.
- You do not have injuries or skin problems that would make the cuffs or compression boots uncomfortable or unsafe.

This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly squeeze the arm or leg) can help improve recovery after bleeding in the brain from a burst aneurysm. The treatment is given after the aneurysm has been secured, and may help reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
This study tests whether combining blood flow restriction training (using a cuff to lightly restrict blood flow during exercise) with transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help improve arm and leg function after a stroke. The goal is to see if this combination helps you regain more movement and independence.
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 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 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.
