Tourniquet Release Methods for People with High Blood Pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests two ways of releasing a tourniquet (a pressure cuff) after arm surgery to see which keeps blood pressure more stable in people with controlled high blood pressure. If you are having arm or hand surgery with a tourniquet, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have high blood pressure that is under control with medication for at least 3 months.
- You are having surgery on your arm, forearm, or hand that will use a tourniquet (a tight band to reduce bleeding) for at least 30 minutes.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 29.9.
- Your overall health is classified as ASA I or II by your doctor (meaning mild or no other diseases).
- You do not have any conditions that would make tourniquet use risky (such as blood vessel problems or infection).

This study tests a set of simple, guided exercises designed to release tension and stress, to see if they can help lower blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure and are overweight, this program might be a helpful addition to your current treatment.
This trial tests different tourniquet models used in emergencies to stop blood flow in arms and legs. It may help find the best way to control bleeding before reaching a hospital.
This study compares different types of tourniquets (tight cuffs) used during knee replacement surgery to see how they affect blood loss and how satisfied surgeons are with them.
This study looks at whether using a tourniquet (a tight band to stop severe bleeding) after a serious arm or leg injury is linked to developing long-term pain. If you had such an injury and a tourniquet was used, doctors want to learn more to improve future care and pain management.
This study tests a way to reduce pain from the blood-pressure cuff used during hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. If you are having this type of surgery with a numbing block, this trial may help make the procedure more comfortable.
This trial compares tourniquet use during ankle fracture surgery. It looks at outcomes for patients with a simple (closed) ankle fracture caused by a ground-level fall who are having metal plates and screws placed.
