Preventing Post-Stroke Depression with Arm Cuff Treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called 'remote ischemic conditioning' (using a blood pressure cuff on your arm) can help prevent depression after a stroke. It is for people who have had a moderate stroke within the last two days.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had an ischemic stroke (clot) within the last 48 hours.

- You are 18 or older.
- You have no history of depression or bipolar disorder.
- You do not have metal implants or claustrophobia preventing an MRI.
- You have no serious arm injury or blood vessel problem in your upper arm.

This trial tests whether a simple remote “arm conditioning” treatment started soon after an acute ischemic stroke can improve outcomes and safety. It may help some patients recover better by supporting the body’s protective response to stroke.
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 whether a non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning—brief, gentle pressure on the arm—can help protect your heart after a stroke. The study enrolls patients who have had an acute ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blood clot) and also show signs of heart injury detected through blood tests.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (using brief periods of blood pressure cuff inflation on the arm) can help prevent early neurological worsening in people who have had a small, specific type of stroke. It may offer a safe way to protect your brain while you recover.
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 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.
