Remote Ischemic Conditioning for Stroke and Heart Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning—brief, gentle pressure on the arm—can help protect your heart after a stroke. The study enrolls patients who have had an acute ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blood clot) and also show signs of heart injury detected through blood tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an acute ischemic stroke (confirmed by brain imaging) within the last 72 hours
- Blood tests show signs of heart injury (elevated cardiac troponin) within 72 hours of stroke onset
- You are at least 18 years old
- You did not have severe disability before your stroke (no pre-stroke paralysis or dependency)
- You have no history of heart disease, heart surgery, or serious heart rhythm problems
- Both arms are healthy with no injury, deformity, or vascular problems that would prevent the arm-pressure treatment

This trial tests whether a simple remote “arm conditioning” treatment started soon after an acute ischemic stroke can improve outcomes and safety. It may help some patients recover better by supporting the body’s protective response to stroke.
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 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 study tests whether a remote, arm-based treatment done around the time of a heart attack can improve outcomes in people with STEMI (a serious heart-attack type). Some participants receive the real treatment and some receive a sham version, while others may be followed observationally depending on how long ago symptoms started.
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.
