Trial summary

Nowadays, the incidence of stroke in China has reached 1.6‰, and this disease has become a primary cause of death in China. One of its major risk factors is hypertension. As shown in the researches, the risk of stroke grows remarkably when the blood pressure increases and there exists a log-linear relationship between… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Feasibility of Remote Ischemic Conditioning on Prehypertension and Early-Stage Hypertension

Nowadays, the incidence of stroke in China has reached 1.6‰, and this disease has become a primary cause of death in China. One of its major risk factors is hypertension. As shown in the researches, the risk of stroke grows remarkably when the blood pressure increases and there exists a log-linear relationship between them. Systolic pressure and diastolic pressure relate to the risk of stroke independently. Systolic pressure decreasing 10mmHg will reduce the stroke risk by 31% and a decrease of 1~3mmHg will reduce the stroke risk by20~30%. As to diastolic pressure, a 5mmHg decrease will reduce the stroke risk by 34% and a 10mmHg decrease will reduce the stroke risk by 56%.In addition, patients with isolated systolic hypertension (SPB≥160mmHg, DPB≤90mmHg) or critical isolated systolic hypertension (SPB=140~159mmHg, DPB< 90mmHg) will suffer a higher risk of stroke than people with normal blood pressure. The ACC has already revised its Hypertension ManagementGuidelines of the standard of diagnosis for hypertension and the timing of starting medical treatment in hypertensive patients. Because more and more researches shown that people with blood pressure between 120-139/80-89mmHg have higher risk of ASCVSD compared to those with blood pressure lower than120/80mmHg; However, in China, the diagnostic criteria for hypertension has not been revised yet. Therefore, we still have a blind spot in treating such patients who suffer from borderline systolic hypertension at 130~140 mmHg of blood-pressure with or without ASCVD or those with the first stage hypertension but refusing to take anti-hypertension drugs. What is more, most of them are middle-aged adults, once they have a stroke, it would lead to terrible and costly consequences to both their family and society. Thus, it is necessary to explore new non-pharmacological methods to control blood pressure for reducing the risk of stroke

What participants receive

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

  • remote ischemic conditioningDevice

    RIC is a physical strategy performed by an electric auto-control device with cuffs placed on unilateral arms and inflated to 200 mmHg for 5-min followed by deflation for 5-min, the procedures are performed repeatedly for 5 times# two times per day. The duration of the treatment is 4 weeks.

The duration of the treatment is 30+/-2days. Other Names:• RICDevice: ambulatory blood pressure monitoring diagnostic technique for measuring blood pressure in daily life by means of automatic intermittent timing. Because ABPM has overcome the limitations of clinic blood pressure measurement, observation error and white coat effect, it can objectively reflect the actual level and fluctuation of blood pressure. Each patient of the two arms will use ABPM measure blood pressure before and after RIC or sham RIC treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. tolerability and feasibility of remote ischemic conditioning on hypertension

    there are 56 treatments in totall during 4weeks, the percentage of the completement of each treatment would be used to mearure the tolerance.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. safety of remote ischemic conditioning on hypertension

    all the adverse effect would be recorded and the percetage of adverse effect happened in the group would be used to measure the safety.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing remote ischemic conditioning in people with Prehypertension and Remote Ischemic Conditioning, run by Capital Medical University 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 4 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2020. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact yu gao (8613051119757, yingmudao1990@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

tolerability and feasibility of remote ischemic conditioning on hypertension (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 5 Feb 2020.
