Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on the arm) can help prevent or treat memory and thinking problems in people with cerebral small vessel disease. Forty adults aged 30-80 with mild cognitive impairment will receive either the real treatment or a sham procedure twice daily for 90 days. The main goal is to see if the treatment improves scores on a thinking test and reduces brain changes seen on MRI.
