Chronic Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Vascular Cognitive Impairment: A Dose Escalation Study

Study on improving memory with new technique for blood flow issues.

Recruiting
56 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study is about how a treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) affects certain blood markers. RIC is when we use a device to briefly stop blood flow in one arm, which may help the brain. We want to see if doing this more often changes these markers. The study is for people 55 years or older with specific brain changes seen on an MRI scan. These changes, called white matter hyperintensities, are areas in the brain that appear brighter on the scan and are related to aging. We hope to learn how much RIC helps, and how well people stick to the treatment. You must be able to walk and do daily activities without help to join.

  • Study involves daily use of a device on your arm.
  • No recent major strokes are allowed.
  • Study is looking at 40 people.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
