About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of remote ischemic preconditioning on dynamic cerebral autoregulation and related hematology indexes in healthy adults.

Read the detailed description

Remote ischemic preconditioning(RIPC) is the phenomenon whereby brief cycles of ischemia and reperfusion, applied to a distant organ, provide protection to the target organ. Dynamic cerebral autoregulation(dCA), a mechanism to maintain the cerebral blood flow, has been proved to be critical for the occurrence,development and prognosis of ischemic neurovascular disease. In this study, we hypothesis that RIPC provides neuro-protection by means of improving dCA.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Remote ischemic conditioning equipmentDevice

    The RIPC consisted of 4 cycles of extremities ischemia (5-minute blood-pressure cuff inflation to 200 mm Hg, followed by 5-minute cuff deflation). The tourniquets were applied to one side upper arm and other side thigh. This intervention was undertaken one time in total.

  • Intravenous blood collectionProcedure or surgery

    Nurses will collect intravenous blood 6ml twice(at baseline and 1h after RIPC).The blood samples will be stored for laboratory test.The blood samples only use for the trial.

  • dCA measurementProcedure or surgery

    Serial measurements of dCA were performed at 7 time points, baseline, 1h, 3h, 6h, 9h, 12h, 24h after RIPC.The continuous ABP was measured non-invasively using a servo-controlled plethysmograph (Finometer Pro, the Netherlands) at the middle finger. Two 2 MHz transcranial Doppler probe was used to measure continuous cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) simultaneously in the bilateral middle cerebral arteries at a depth of 45-60 mm Endtidal CO2 was monitored using a capnograph (MultiDop X2, DWL, Sipplingen, Germany). The probes were placed over temporal windows and fixed with a customized head frame. CBFV and continuous arterial blood pressure were recorded simultaneously from each subject in the supine position for 10 minutes. All data were recorded for further assessment and analysis.

RIPC GroupExperimentalRIPC was induced by 4 cycles of extremities ischemia (5-minute blood-pressure cuff inflation to 200 mm Hg, followed by 5-minute cuff deflation).All subjects will take RIPC intervention, blood collection and 7 dCA measurements.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. phase difference(PD) in degree

    A dynamic cerebral auto-regulation parameter derived from transfer function analysis.Continuous cerebral blood flow velocities of bilateral middle cerebral artery will be assessed noninvasively using transcranial Doppler. Spontaneous arterial blood pressure will be simultaneously recorded using a servo-controlled plethysmograph on the left or right middle finger with an appropriate finger cuff size. Transfer function analysis will be used to derive the autoregulatory parameters.

    Measured: 2 days

  2. the rate of recovery of cerebral blood flow velocity

    Measured: 2 days

  3. gain in cm/s/mmHg

    Measured: 2 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. resistance index (RI) changes from supine to upright position

    Measured: 2 days

  2. pulsatility index (PI) changes from supine to upright position

    Measured: 2 days

  3. mean middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (mCBFV) changes from supine to upright position

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remote ischemic conditioning equipment, Intravenous blood collection and dCA measurement in people with Ischemic Preconditioning, run by Yi Yang at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

phase difference(PD) in degree (time frame: 2 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02965547, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Aug 2021.
