The Safety and Efficacy of RIC on Adult Moyamoya Disease
- Registration Number
- NCT04012268
- Lead Sponsor
- Capital Medical University
- Brief Summary
There are a series of symptoms such as ischemic stroke、transient ischemic attack 、hemorrhagic stroke、headache 、seizure and so on in moyamoya disease( MMD) patients .Nowadays, revascularization is the only effective way for ischemic MMD and there is no effective conservative treatment for MMD. This study was to explore the safety and efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning(RIC ) on adult MMD patients.
- Detailed Description
There are a series of symptoms such as ischemic stroke、transient ischemic attack 、hemorrhagic stroke、headache 、seizure and so on in moyamoya disease. Nowadays, revascularization is the only effective way for ischemic MMD while controversial for hemorrhagic MMD patients. Surgical complications including hyperperfusion syndrome, cerebral infarction or bleeding often occurred postoperatively. There is no effective conservative treatment for MMD up to now.
Remote ischemic conditioning is Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a noninvasive and easy-to-use neuroprotective strategy, and it has potential effects on preventing ischemia reperfusion injury and ischemic infarction.This study was to explore the safety and efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning on adult MMD patients.

Study & Design
- Study Type
- INTERVENTIONAL
- Study Design
- PARALLEL
- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description RIC group RIC Patients allocated to the RIC group will undergo RIC procedure during which bilateral arm cuffs are inflated to a pressure of 50 mmHg over systolic blood pressure for five cycles of 5 min followed by 5 min of relaxation of the cuffs. They will also accept medication treatment by professional neurologists. Medication group Aspirin Patients allocated to Medication group will accept medication treatment by professional neurologists.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method improvement ratio of mean cerebral blood flow change from the baseline to12 months after treatment Cerebral blood flow refers to the flow of blood through a certain cross-sectional area of cerebrovascular in a unit time. Patients' CBF will be detected by arterial spin labeling. In each hemisphere, middle cerebral artery territory was divided into ten regions according to Albert Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS), regions of interest (ROI) were drawn manually in each of territory of MCA to determine the absolute CBF values. improvement ratio of mean CBF= mCBF atter treatment-mCBF baseline/mCBF baseline.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method incidence of ischemic stroke from the baseline to 12 months after treatment ischemic stroke is diagnosed by symptoms of neurologic deficit or head CT and MRI.
The number of patients with erythema,and/or skin lesions related to RIC change from the baseline to 12 months after treatment Professional doctors will check it and the investigator will record the number.
The number of patients not tolerating RIC procedure,and refuse to continue the RIC procedure change from the baseline to 12 months after treatment the investigator will record the number.
incidence of transient ischemic attack from the baseline to 12 months after treatment TIA is diagnosed by patients' transient neurologic deficit
The level of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) change from the baseline to 3, 6, 12 months after treatment 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 level of vascular endothelial growth factor change from the baseline to 3, 6, 12 months after treatment 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 level of basic fibroblast growth factor change from the baseline to 3, 6 ,12 months after treatment 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 rate of progression of stenosis or occlusion at Willis circle 12 months after therapy Progression of stenosis or occlusion at Willis circle was evaluated by TOF-MRA, which was defined as the the stenosis or occlusion was progressed to another part of Willis circle, like stenosis progressed from M1 to M2-M4 et al, or in the same part, stenosis progressed to occlusion.
incidence of hemorrhagic stroke from the baseline to 12 months after treatment hemorrhagic stroke is diagnosed by head CT
The rate of death and adverse event change from the baseline to 12 months after treatment All causes of death will be included to compute mortality at 12 months after therapy
