Can a blood pressure cuff on your arm help your brain heal after a stroke?
NCT ID NCT06559241
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a noninvasive arm cuff therapy, called remote ischemic conditioning, can improve recovery in people who have had a major stroke and undergone a clot-removal procedure. The therapy involves briefly inflating and deflating a cuff on the upper arm to protect the brain from further damage. About 2105 participants will receive the therapy for either 14 or 30 days, and their functional outcomes will be measured at 90 days.

remote ischemic conditioning (arm cuff device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple, noninvasive therapy could significantly improve functional recovery and reduce disability after a major stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a large Phase 3 trial, but earlier studies were small. The therapy may not provide meaningful benefit over standard care, and results may not apply to all stroke types.
Conditions
The condition(s) this trial relates to.
