Pilot Study of Pre-Ischemic Conditioning for Intracranial Atherosclerosis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Doctormate and Usual Care for Intracranial Atherosclerosis. Completed, enrolled 2 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the Doctormate device, a specialized blood pressure cuff used to perform remote limb ischemic conditioning, on cerebral blood flow in subjects with intracranial atherosclerosis. Previous studies in patients with narrowing of the brain arteries have shown that this device is safe to use and suggested that if this device is inflated in both arms for 5 minutes, followed by deflation for 5 minutes and repeated 4 times in a row every day for 6-9 months, the risk of another stroke is lowered and the device may increase the blood flow to the brain.
