Remote ischemic preconditioning for small stroke prevention
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke from a blocked blood vessel).
- Your stroke symptoms started within the last 48 hours.
- You have a small, single stroke in a specific area (perforating artery territory) seen on an MRI scan.
- You have not already received clot-busting medication or a procedure to remove the clot for this stroke.
- You do not have uncontrolled high blood pressure or other serious medical conditions that would make the study unsafe.

This Phase 2 study tests whether a simple remote method that briefly reduces blood flow in the arm (called ischemic conditioning) can help people with brain small-vessel disease or an acute ischemic stroke. Participants are monitored by phone and, for stroke patients, through a Mobile Stroke Unit.
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 study tests whether a simple, non-drug treatment (like using a blood pressure cuff to briefly restrict blood flow in the arm) can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment caused by small vessel disease. It may help by improving blood flow to the brain.
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 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 study tests whether a simple, non-invasive procedure on your arm can change certain substances in your blood. It may help researchers understand how to protect the body from injury.
