Arm cuff treatment for stroke patients with heart injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot) confirmed within the last 72 hours.
- You must also have signs of heart injury (based on a troponin blood test) within 72 hours of the stroke.
- You must NOT have had treatments like clot-busting medication or a procedure to remove a clot for this stroke.
- You must NOT have a history of heart disease or heart problems, and no recent chest pain or palpitations before the stroke.

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 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 study tests a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning. It uses a blood pressure cuff on your arm to temporarily restrict blood flow, which may help improve blood flow to the brain after a stroke. The goal is to see if this can strengthen the brain's backup blood vessels and aid recovery.
This trial tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment (repeated inflation of a blood pressure cuff on your arm or leg) can help people recover better after a stroke caused by a large clot. You must be having a mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) within 24 hours of your stroke.
This trial tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (briefly inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff on your arm) can improve the safety and effectiveness of surgery for a chronically blocked carotid artery. It may help protect your brain during and after the procedure.
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.
