Protective Effects of Remote Limb Ischemic Preconditioning on Acute Cerebral Infarction

August 22, 2012 updated by: Ji Xunming, Capital Medical University

Phase 2 Study of Remote Limb Ischemic Preconditioning on Acute Cerebral Infarction

Stroke is one of the three leading causes of human death, and a major cause of adult disability. Our pre-clinical studies confirmed that ischemic preconditioning can prevent cerebral infarction. Animal studies confirmed that ischemic postconditioning can reduce infarct size of cerebral infarction. Investigators hypothesized that postconditioning would reduce infarct volume of ischemic stroke patients.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study explored the neuroprotective effects of post-positioning on ischemic stroke patients with randomized, double-blinded and controlled method. Patients are divided into experimental and placebo groups to receive remote ischemic post-conditioning for 30 days. Remote ischemic post-conditioning is performed by the inflating tourniquets to certain extents on bilateral arms with 5 cycles of 5min inflation and 5min relax alternation for the total of 30 consecutive days. It is 200mmHg for RIPC group and 60mmHg for control group. Evaluation parameters include CRP, TNF-α, ICAM-1 and GFAP in blood at 0, 3, 7, 15 and 30 days after treatment; and MRI at 0 and 30 days after treatment.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

  • Phase 1

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures
