NCT03484936

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with remote ischemic conditioning is of sufficient promise to improve outcome before conducting a larger clinical trial to examine its effectiveness as a treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score 0-2

    The primary outcome measure of efficacy is the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, dichotomized to define good functional outcome as mRS 0-2 at 90 days.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Frequency of adverse events

    3 months

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Proportion of hematoma growth

    24 hours

  • Proportion of hematoma absorption

    14 days

  • Changes of hematological indicators

    24 hours; 7 days

Study Arms (2)

RIC+Standard medical treatment

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

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.

Procedure: Remote ischemic conditioning

Sham RIC+Standard medical treatment

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage confirmed by brain CT scan
  • Functional independence prior to ICH, defined as pre-ICH mRS ≤ 1
  • NIHSS score ≥ 4 and GCS ≥ 6 upon presentation
  • Able to commence RIC treatment within 12 hours of stroke onset
  • Signed and dated informed consent is obtained.

You may not qualify if:

  • 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
  • Severe hepatic and renal dysfunction
  • Platelet count \<100×10\^9/L
  • Coagulopathy defined as INR,APTT,and PT beyond the upper limit of normal range
  • Known pregnancy, or positive pregnancy test, or breastfeeding
  • Patients being enrolled or having been enrolled in other clinical trial within 3 months prior to this clinical trial
  • A high likelihood that the patient will not adhere to the study treatment and follow up regimen
  • Patients unsuitable for enrollment in the clinical trial according to investigators decision making.
