Intermittent pressure therapy for insomnia after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a device that applies gentle, intermittent pressure to your arm (called remote ischemic adaptation) can improve sleep in people who developed insomnia after a stroke. It may help you fall asleep and stay asleep, reducing the impact of insomnia on your daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old.

This study tests a treatment that may help reduce brain inflammation and improve sleep in people who have had a first stroke and now have trouble sleeping. It uses a non-invasive technique called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief, repeated cycles of a blood pressure cuff on the arm.
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 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 personalised sleep and body-clock program for people who have had a stroke. The program aims to improve sleep patterns and daily rhythms, which may help with recovery and overall well-being.
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 trial tests whether treating sleep apnea with a CPAP machine soon after a stroke can improve recovery. It is for people who had their first moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke and have not used CPAP before.
