Remote ischemic conditioning for mild cognitive impairment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 30 and 80 years old.
- You must have mild cognitive impairment (memory or thinking problems that are not severe) due to small vessel disease in the brain.
- Your memory and thinking score must be within a certain range (18-25 on a standard test).
- You must be medically stable enough, without serious heart, liver, kidney, or bleeding problems.
- You must be able to have an MRI scan (no pacemaker or metal implants).

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 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 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 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 study tests whether a simple treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff briefly on your arm) can help prevent depression after a stroke. It is for people who had a moderate stroke within the last two days.
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.
