About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Adult Moyamoya Disease Patients Undergoing Revascularization Surgery

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a non-invasive therapeutic approach for protecting organs or tissue against the detrimental effects of acute ischemia-reperfusion injury. Many protective factors produced by the stimulus of RIC could protect remote target organs and tissues through inhibiting oxidation and inflammation. The phenomenon of this protect effect was first found in myocardium ischemia-reperfusion injury and then RIC was used in children cardiac surgery to provide myocardial protection during operation. Then RIC was gradually applied to brain protection and a series of clinical researches have confirmed that it could improve the cerebral perfusion status, increase cerebral tolerance to ischemic injury, reduce perihematomal edema and promote clearance. Recently, a randomized controlled study reported that daily RIC could improve cerebral perfusion and slow arterial progression of adult MMD. Meanwhile, a single-arm open-label study also indicated that RIC was a promising noninvasive method for ischemic MMD control by relieving symptoms and reducing stroke recurrence. In addition, the effects of RIC on reducing neurological complications in MMD patients treated with revascularization surgery has also been reported. However, the mechanism of RIC in reducing peri-operative complications for MMD patients is still unknown. Thus, we conducted a randomized controlled study to explore the safety and efficacy of RIC in adult MMD patients undergoing revascularization therapy

What participants receive

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

  • Remote ischemic conditioningDevice

    The RIC intervention included five cycles of 5 min inflating tourniquets with the pressure of 200 mmHg and 5 min deflating with pressure of 0 mmHg alternately

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remote ischemic conditioning in people with Moyamoya Disease and Remote Ischemic Conditioning, run by Huashan Hospital.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

the incidence of major neurologic complications during perioperative period (time frame: 2 weeks after operation). 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 NCT05860946, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 May 2023.
