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: RIC group
Device: Remote ischemic conditioning RIC is a non-invasive therapy that performed by an electric autocontrol device with cuff placed on arm. RIC procedures consist of five cycles of 5-min inflation (200 mmHg) and 5-min deflation of cuff on one arm. The procedure will be performed twice daily for consecutive 1 year after enrollment.

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
Changes of volume of WMHs
Time Frame: From baseline to 1 year treatment
The volume of WMHs was measured on Flairs and DTI. By calculating the mean diffusivity (MD) and FA of water diffusion, DTI can assess the integrity and connectivity of WM tissue from a network perspective, and reconstruct the distribution of WM pathways in the brain three-dimensionally.
From baseline to 1 year treatment

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in hemodynamic parameters on TCD.
Time Frame: From baseline to 1 year treatment
The peak systolic, mean, and end diastolic blood flow velocities (BFV) at the most proximal segment of bilateral MCAs, BA were measured by TCD
From baseline to 1 year treatment
Changes of cognition evaluation on MoCA.
Time Frame: From baseline to 1 year treatment
The Beijing version of MoCA were used to evaluate to evaluate the cognitive functions of patients, referring to the degree of an individual's capacity with respect to orientation, memory, calculation, language, execution and visuospatial function and so on
From baseline to 1 year treatment

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

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.
