Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cerebrovascular reserve (CVR), defined as the increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF)in response to a vasodilatory stimulus, is known to reflect the compensative capacity of the brain to maintain adequate blood flow in the face of decreased perfusion due to arterial stenosis. CVR dysfunction has been identified as an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke. Limb remote ischemic preconditioning (LRIC) has been suggested as a protective therapeutic modality against brain ischemia. So it is worth to detect whether LRIC can improve the CVR ability in ischemic cerebrovascular disease patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

LRIC group

Participants in the experimental group receive both LRIC and standard clinical therapy. The LRIC treatment is composed of 5 cycles of bilateral upper limb ischemia for 5 minutes followed by reperfusion for another 5 minutes performed twice a day for a total of 90 consecutive days.The procedure was performed by using an electric autocontrol device with cuffs that inflated to a pressure of 200 mmHg during the ischemic period and deflated during the reperfusion (Patent No.CN200820123637.X, China).
