NCT ID NCT07401784
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a safe, non-invasive therapy that uses gentle pressure on the arms to improve sleep and mood in people who have had a stroke and suffer from insomnia. The treatment, called remote ischemic adaptation, aims to help the brain recover by briefly restricting and restoring blood flow to the arms. Researchers will enroll 40 adults aged 18-80 who have had an ischemic stroke and struggle with chronic insomnia.
