Treating insomnia after stroke with a pressure arm band
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a simple, non-invasive pressure arm band (applied in short bursts, like a blood pressure cuff) can improve insomnia after an ischemic stroke. It's for people whose sleep problems started after their stroke and have lasted for at least 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 if a simple, non-invasive arm cuff treatment can improve sleep and other non-motor symptoms in people with early Parkinson's disease. It involves using a blood pressure-like cuff on your arm to briefly restrict blood flow, then release it, hoping to train your body's protective systems.
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 a sleep-improvement program (Sleepio) to see if better sleep can help people learn and recover after a stroke that affects the arm. You may be able to join if you’re recently out of hospital and can use the internet reliably.
This study tests a personalized sleep and circadian rhythm program designed for people recovering from a stroke who have ongoing sleep problems. It aims to help improve sleep quality and daily recovery.
This study tests whether a morning exercise program can help improve sleep quality in people who had a stroke at least a year ago. If you're 55 or older and have trouble sleeping, this trial may be a good fit.
