About this study

The purpose of this study is to learn about effects of remote ischemic conditioning on blood pressure in older patients with essential hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Current studies have shown that remote ischemic conditioning can improve vascular endothelial function and inhibit sympathetic nervous system activity. Thus it may provide some organ protection as well as anti-hypertensive effects. The purpose of this study is to learn about effects of remote ischemic conditioning on blood pressure in older patients with essential hypertension.

What participants receive

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

  • Remote ischemic conditioningProcedure or surgery

    Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is induced by 4 cycles of 5 min of upper limb ischemia followed by 5 min reperfusion. Limb ischemia was induced by the inflation of an automated cuff to the pressure rising by 20 mmHg from baseline systolic pressure. RIC will be conducted twice daily for 7 days.

  • Sham remote ischemic conditioningProcedure or surgery

    Sham-RIC is performed in the same way as the treatment group except that the blood pressure cuff is inflated to 60 mmHg, which produces mild pressure sensations but has no blocking impact on blood flow.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean systolic blood pressure

    Difference in mean value of systolic blood pressure during RIC/sham-RIC between two groups.

    Measured: 0-7 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mean diastolic blood pressure

    Difference in mean value of diastolic blood pressure during RIC/sham-RIC between two groups.

    Measured: 0-7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remote ischemic conditioning in people with Essential Hypertension, 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 3 inclusion and 9 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 2 Oct 2024. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yi Yang, MD, PhD (13756661217 ext. 0086, doctor_yangyi@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean systolic blood pressure (time frame: 0-7 days). 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 2 Oct 2024.
