Arm cuffs may boost brain blood flow in seniors – study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT07179887
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 08, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study explores whether a simple, non-invasive technique called Remote Ischaemic Conditioning (RIC) can improve how the brain regulates its own blood flow in healthy older adults. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a cuff, then releasing it. The trial will compare different RIC schedules (daily, three times a week, or a sham procedure) over six weeks in 45 volunteers aged 65-85. The goal is to understand the best "dose" of RIC for vascular health, not to treat any disease.
