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

Remote ischemic preconditioning(RIPC) is the phenomenon whereby brief cycles of ischemia and reperfusion, applied to a distant organ, provide protection to the target organ. Dynamic cerebral autoregulation(dCA), a mechanism to maintain the cerebral blood flow, has been proved to be critical for the occurrence,development and prognosis of ischemic neurovascular disease. In this study, we hypothesis that RIPC provides neuro-protection by means of improving dCA.

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.

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: RIPC Group
RIPC was induced by 4 cycles of extremities ischemia (5-minute blood-pressure cuff inflation to 200 mm Hg, followed by 5-minute cuff deflation).All subjects will take RIPC intervention, blood collection and 7 dCA measurements.
Device: Remote ischemic conditioning equipment
The RIPC consisted of 4 cycles of extremities ischemia (5-minute blood-pressure cuff inflation to 200 mm Hg, followed by 5-minute cuff deflation). The tourniquets were applied to one side upper arm and other side thigh. This intervention was undertaken one time in total.
Procedure: Intravenous blood collection
Nurses will collect intravenous blood 6ml twice(at baseline and 1h after RIPC).The blood samples will be stored for laboratory test.The blood samples only use for the trial.
Procedure: dCA measurement
Serial measurements of dCA were performed at 7 time points, baseline, 1h, 3h, 6h, 9h, 12h, 24h after RIPC.The continuous ABP was measured non-invasively using a servo-controlled plethysmograph (Finometer Pro, the Netherlands) at the middle finger. Two 2 MHz transcranial Doppler probe was used to measure continuous cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) simultaneously in the bilateral middle cerebral arteries at a depth of 45-60 mm Endtidal CO2 was monitored using a capnograph (MultiDop X2, DWL, Sipplingen, Germany). The probes were placed over temporal windows and fixed with a customized head frame. CBFV and continuous arterial blood pressure were recorded simultaneously from each subject in the supine position for 10 minutes. All data were recorded for further assessment and analysis.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
phase difference(PD) in degree
Time Frame: 2 days
A dynamic cerebral auto-regulation parameter 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 parameters.
2 days
the rate of recovery of cerebral blood flow velocity
Time Frame: 2 days
2 days
gain in cm/s/mmHg
Time Frame: 2 days
2 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
resistance index (RI) changes from supine to upright position
Time Frame: 2 days
2 days
pulsatility index (PI) changes from supine to upright position
Time Frame: 2 days
2 days
mean middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (mCBFV) changes from supine to upright position
Time Frame: 2 days

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
