About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of remote ischemic conditioning combined with intravenous thrombolysis in treating acute ischemic stroke.

Read the detailed description

In this study, cases of ischemic stroke who undergo intravenous thrombolysis within 4.5 hours from onset are included. The experimental group receive basic treatment and remote ischemic conditioning for 200mmHg, 2 times within 6 hours to 24 hours from thrombolysis. The control group receive basic treatment and remote ischemic conditioning control for 60mmHg, 2 times within 6 hours to 24 hours from thrombolysis . Two groups will be followed up for 90 days to evaluate the efficacy and safety of remote ischemic conditioning combined with intravenous thrombolysis in treating acute ischemic stroke.

Being tested
remote ischemic conditioning, sham remote ischemic conditioning
Medical subject headings
Ischemic Stroke

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • remote ischemic conditioningDevice

    Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is induced by 4 cycles of 5 min of healthy upper limb ischemia followed by 5 min re-perfusion. Limb ischemia was induced by inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 200 mm Hg.

  • sham remote ischemic conditioningDevice

    Sham remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is induced by 4 cycles of 5 min of healthy upper limb ischemia followed by 5 min re-perfusion. Limb ischemia was induced by inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 60 mm Hg.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Frequency of adverse events during hospitalization

    All adverse events until day-7 or discharge (whichever is earlier)

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Frequency of adverse events during follow-up

    Severe adverse events through day-90 after the onset of acute ischemic stroke.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) at 7 days from onset or discharge

    National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) at 7 days from onset or discharge. Ranged from 0 to 42, a low value represents a better outcome.

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score 0-2

    Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score 0-2. Ranged from 0 to 6, a low value represents a better outcome.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing remote ischemic conditioning in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Yi Yang at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Frequency of adverse events during hospitalization (time frame: 7 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jun 2022.
