• Conditions: Remote Ischemic Conditioning

• Registration Number: NCT05970653
• Lead Sponsor: Yi Yang

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of remote ischemic conditioning on cerebral autoregulation in patients undergoing cerebrovascular stent implantation.

Detailed Description

In this study, 104 cases of patients with cerebrovascular stent implantation will be enrolled in the First Hospital of Jilin University, and they will be divided into the RIC group and the sham-RIC group. The RIC group received remote ischemic conditioning for 200mmHg, 2 times per day for 7 consecutive days or from enrollment to discharge. The sham-RIC group received remote ischemic conditioning for 60mmHg, 2 times per day for 7 consecutive days or from enrollment to discharge. Two groups will be followed up to evaluate the effect of remote ischemic conditioning on cerebral autoregulation in patients undergoing cerebrovascular stent implantation.

• Unwillingness to be followed up or poor adherence to treatment;
• Other circumstances that the investigator considers unsuitable for enrolment.

Study & Design

• Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Design: PARALLEL

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cerebral autoregulation parameter	0-7 days	Cerebral autoregulation parameters derived from transfer function analysis. Continuous cerebral blood flow velocities of bilateral middle cerebral artery will be assessed noninvasively using transcranial Doppler. Spontaneous arterial blood pressure will be simultaneously recorded using a servo-controlled plethysmograph on the left or right middle finger with an appropriate finger cuff size. Transfer function analysis will be used to derive the autoregulatory parameter.
