Safety and Efficacy of Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Patients With Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage (SERIC-sICH)
Intracranial Hemorrhages
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Intracranial Hemorrhages focused on measuring Intracranial Hemorrhages, remote ischemic conditioning
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥ 18 years

- Able to commence RIC treatment within 12 hours of stroke onset
- Signed and dated informed consent is obtained.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Definite evidence of secondary ICH, such as structural abnormality, brain tumor, thrombolytic drug, and other causes
- A very high likelihood that the patient will die within the next 24 hours on the basis of clinical and/or radiological criteria
- Already booked for surgical treatment
- Life expectancy of less than 90 days due to comorbid conditions
- Severe hematologic disease
- Concurrent use of anticoagulation drugs including Warfarin, dabigatran, rivaroxaban.
- Concurrent use of glibenclamide or nicorandil
- Any soft tissue, orthopedic, or vascular injury, wounds or fractures in healthy upper limb which may pose a contraindication for application of RIC

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is induced by 4 cycles of 5 min of healthy upper limb ischemia followed by 5 min reperfusion. Limb ischemia was induced by inflations of a blood pressure cuff to 200 mm Hg. RIC will be conducted twice daily for 7 days. Additionally,the patients will be treated with standard medical treatment according to 2014 chinese guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage.
Sham remote ischemic conditioning (Sham RIC) is simulated by the measurement of blood pressure twice daily for 7 days.Additionally,the patients will be treated with standard medical treatment according to 2014 chinese guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage.
