RIC group
control group
RIC+Standard medical treatment Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is induced by 4 cycles of 5 min of healthy upper limb ischemia followed by 5 min re-perfusion. Limb ischemia was induced by inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 200 mm Hg. RIC will be conducted twice within 6 to 24 hours from thrombolysis. Additionally,the patients will be treated with standard medical treatment according to Guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke in China 2014.
