研究概览
简要总结
The primary objective of the study will be to determine whether remote limb ischemic conditioning (RLIC) compared with sham RLIC (placebo) treatment reduces the 12-month risk of recurrent IS in patients with a recent TIA or IS caused by stenosis of a major intracranial artery.
After screening period, eligible patients will be randomly allocated into 2 groups. In addition, all participants receive an usual clinical therapy.
详细描述
In this study, Patients in the RLIC group will be treated with Renqiao Remote Ischemic Conditioning Device (Doctormate®) (200mmHg) once daily for 12 months; patients in the sham RLIC group will be treated with the Renqiao Remote Ischemic Conditioning Device (Doctormate®) (60mmHg) once daily for 12 months. In the study, the RLIC treatment will be comprised of 5 cycles of bilateral upper limb ischemia and reperfusion, which will be induced by 2 cuffs placed around the upper arms respectively and inflated to 200mmHg for 5 minutes followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion by cuff deflation. Sham RLIC treatment will be conducted using the same procedure but with a minimal inflation pressure of 60mmHg, which does not result in upper limb ischemia. In addition, all participants will have received their usual drug therapy according to local medical practice.
