Study on Prevention and Treatment of Atherosclerotic Cerebral Occlusive Disease With Remote Ischemic Conditioning
700 participantsStarted 2020-09
Plain-language summary
The primary objective of the study will be to determine whether remote limb ischemic conditioning (RLIC) together with conventional medication therapy compared with only medication therapy reduces the 3-month risk of composite cardio-cerebral vascular event in patients with a recent TIA or IS caused by occlusion of a cerebral artery.
After screening period, eligible patients will be randomly allocated into 2 groups.In addition, all participants receive an usual clinical therapy.

Inclusion criteria
. Male or female with age from 40 to 80 years old.
. Patients with cerebral arterial occlusion which have been confirmed by CTA, MRA, or other evidence (including intracranial and extracranial arterial occlusion), and there is no indication of intervention and surgery, and at the same time the patients combined more than two risk factors for atherosclerosis.
. The entry event is acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease (TIA or cerebral infarction), of which the condition was relatively stable within 30 days of onset, and mRS≤4.
. Informed consent obtained.
Exclusion criteria
. Thrombolytic therapy within 24 hours prior to enrollment.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
