Blood pressure cuff treatment for memory loss from small vessel disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple blood pressure cuff treatment on your arm can improve thinking and memory problems caused by small vessel disease in the brain. You'll get a series of cuff inflations over time to see if it helps slow down cognitive decline.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 80 years old.
- You have been told by your doctor that you have cerebral small vessel disease (a condition affecting small blood vessels in the brain).
- You have mild memory or thinking problems, with a specific thinking test score between 18 and 25.
- You are able to give your permission to be in the study, or have someone who can do that for you.
- You do not have any serious health problems like recent heart attack, severe liver or kidney disease, or a bleeding disorder.
- You are able to have MRI scans (no metal implants or severe claustrophobia).

This trial tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation can improve memory and thinking in people whose cognitive problems are caused by cerebral small vessel disease (damage to the small blood vessels in the brain). You may qualify if you have mild memory or thinking issues that have lasted at least three months.
This study looks at thinking and memory problems in people with cerebral small vessel disease. It uses computer tests and may include a type of brain stimulation to understand how the brain works and find better ways to help.
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 if a simple, at-home arm cuff treatment (Remote Ischaemic Conditioning) can improve blood flow regulation in the brain of older adults. It may help understand how to protect brain health as we age.
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.
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.
