Remote conditioning for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive method called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief cycles of inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm. It may help improve health outcomes for people with spinal cord injury who are not currently able to exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have a spinal cord injury
- You live at home (not in a nursing facility)
- You are not currently active in exercise programs
- You are medically stable, with your doctor's approval to join
- You can travel to the testing site for two 2-day visits and perform 30 sessions at home

This trial tests a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) to improve blood flow to the brain after a stroke. It uses a blood pressure cuff on your arm and compression boots on your legs to help your brain recover.
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive pressure cuff technique (called remote ischemic conditioning) can affect your spinal reflexes. It is for healthy adults to understand how the nervous system responds.
This study tests a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly stop blood flow to one arm) to see how it affects heart and blood flow in critically ill patients in the ICU. If you are in the ICU, over 18, and have a special heart monitor, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using mild, temporary pressure on your arm or leg) to see if it can improve recovery after a brain aneurysm bleed. It is for people who have already had a minimally invasive procedure to fix the aneurysm.
This trial tests a treatment that uses a blood pressure cuff on your arms to try to protect your brain and organs after your heart stopped outside the hospital. You will be in the intensive care unit, and the study will check if this simple 'remote conditioning' can improve recovery.
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.
