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.
Who can take part
- 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 study tests a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), which uses gentle blood pressure cuffs to briefly restrict blood flow to the arms or legs, with the goal of improving blood flow to the brain after a stroke. It is designed for people who have recently had stroke symptoms and are generally healthy before the stroke.
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 whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly squeeze the arm or leg) can help improve recovery after bleeding in the brain from a burst aneurysm. The treatment is given after the aneurysm has been secured, and may help reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
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.
This trial tests a simple, non-drug treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (repeatedly inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff on an arm) to see if it can help people who have both a recent stroke and signs of heart injury. The goal is to help protect the heart and improve recovery after a stroke.
