Dynamic Cerebral Autoregulation of Remote Ischemic Conditioning Combined With Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke (CARIC-IVT)
Remote Ischemic Conditioning

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Remote Ischemic Conditioning focused on measuring Remote Ischemic Conditioning, Dynamic Cerebral Autoregulation
Eligibility Criteria

- Severe organ dysfunction or failure;
- Those who have a history of atrial fibrillation;
- The patients who have the contraindication of remote ischemic conditioning treatment, such as severe soft tissue injury, fracture or vascular injury in the upper limb, acute or subacute venous thrombosis, arterial occlusive disease, subclavian steal syndrome, etc;
- Pregnant or lactating women;
- Patients with a life expectancy of less than 3 months or patients unable to complete the study for other reasons;

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 mmHg. RIC will be conducted twice within 6 to 24 hours from thrombolysis.
