- Conditions

- Registration Number
- NCT03821181
- Lead Sponsor
- Capital Medical University
- Brief Summary
Moyamoya disease is a common reason of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke in children. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has been shown to prevent recurrent stroke in intracranial arterial stenosis, but it is unclear whether RIC can prevent TIA or stroke in children with moyamoya disease. This study aims to evaluate the effect of RIC on TIA/stroke in children with moyamoya disease.
- Detailed Description
This study will provide insights into the preliminary proof of principle, safety, and efficacy of RIC in pediatric MMD patients, and this data will provide parameters for future larger scale clinical trials if efficacious

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The incidence rate of transient ischemic attack(TIA) during baseline to 12months after therapy TIA means transient ischemic attack, two neurologists will evaluate patients with ischemic symptoms and make diagnosis.magnetic reasoning imaging (MRI) scan will be performed to confirm intracerebral hemorrhage, and the imaging will be evaluated by two independent neuroradiologists who are blinded to the study assignment.
The incidence rate of ischemic stroke during baseline to 12months after therapy Two neurologists will evaluate patients with ischemic symptoms and make diagnosis.magnetic reasoning imaging (MRI) scan will be performed to confirm intracerebral hemorrhage, and the imaging will be evaluated by two independent neuroradiologists who are blinded to the study assignment.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Palpation for tenderness changes from baseline to 6, 12months after therapy Professional doctors will definite whether there's a palpation for tenderness
The number of patients not tolerating RIC procedure,and refuse to continue the RIC procedure during baseline to 12months after therapy The investigator will record the number.
The score of National Institute of Health stroke scale score during baseline to 12months after therapy National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is considered as a standardized assessment of neurological functions in the acute phase of stroke, and it is generally used to quantify patient's neurological impairments on 15 items in 11 fields of different neurological status.The score of the scale ranges from 0 to 42.And higher score indicates worse neurological function.The NHISS will be assessed by certified study investigator, who is blinded to the treatment assignment.
Cerebral perfusion change from baseline to 12months after therapy cerebral perfusion status in the operation side at 12 months posttreatment as assessed by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
The mean blood flow velocity of cerebral vascular detected by TCCD changes form baseline to 6months，12months after therapy TCCD means tran-scranial color-coded duplex sonography.
Incidence rate of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage during baseline to 12months after therapy Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, including any subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with clinical symptoms and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Head computed tomography or magnetic reasoning imaging (MRI) scan will be performed to confirm intracerebral hemorrhage, and the imaging will be evaluated by two independent neuroradiologists who are blinded to the study assignment.
The rate of death and adverse event during baseline to 12months after therapy All causes of death will be included to compute mortality at 12 months after therapy
The number of patients with erythema,and/or skin lesions related to RIC changes from baseline to 6, 12months after therapy Professional doctors will check it and the investigator will record the number.
The number of patients with any other adverse events related to RIC intervention during baseline to 12months after therapy The investigator will record the number.
The level of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) change from baseline (pre-RIC treatment) to 6 months ,12 months after therapy Blood samples will be drawn from cubital vein to test these biomarkersThese samples will be centrifuged immediately after collection and stored at - 80 until batch evaluation
The score of Modified Rankin scale score during baseline to 12months after therapy The Modified Rankin Scale Score (mRS) is the most comprehensive and most widely used primary outcome measurement to assess the neurological functional disability in contemporary acute stroke trials. The mRS is an ordinal, graded interval scale that assigns patients among 7 global disability levels, which ranges from 0 (no symptom) to 5 (severe disability) and 6 (death). The investigators will use mRS to evaluate the degree of disability or dependence during daily activities. The mRS will be assessed by certified study investigator, who is blinded to the treatment assignment.
The number of cerebral lacunar infarction changes from baseline to 12months after therapy magnetic reasoning imaging (MRI) scan will be performed to confirm intracerebral hemorrhage, and the imaging will be evaluated by two independent neuroradiologists who are blinded to the study assignment.
Number of distal radial pulses changes from baseline to 6, 12months after therapy professional doctors will check the distal radial pulses
The score of ABCD2 during baseline to 12months after therapy When subjects are diagnosed as TIA within 12 months after therapy ,The investigators use this scale to evaluate the patients' risk of stroke who with TIA .The score of the scale ranges from 0 to 7, and the higher score indicates higher risk of stroke in the patients who with TIA.The scale will be assessed by qualified investigator who are blinded to the treatment assignment.
variant of the RNF-213 gene from baseline（pre-RIC treatment) to 12 months after therapy The investigators will save the blood sample in -20℃，and detect the variant RNF-213 gene
The volume of cerebral lacunar infarction changes from baseline to 12 months after therapy magnetic reasoning imaging (MRI) scan will be performed to confirm intracerebral hemorrhage, and the imaging will be evaluated by two independent neuroradiologists who are blinded to the study assignment.
