Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes of mean systolic blood pressure

    The mean systolic blood pressure in the last 3 days of treatment minus baseline mean systolic blood pressure

    12-14 days

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Mean systolic blood pressure level

    12-14 days

  • Changes of mean diastolic blood pressure

    12-14 days

  • Mean diastolic blood pressure level

    12-14 days

  • Blood pressure compliance rate

    15-28 days

Study Arms (2)

RIC group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients are treated with previous antihypertensive treatment plus remote ischemic conditioning.

Device: Patients are treated with previous antihypertensive treatment plus remote ischemic conditioning.

Control group

OTHER

Patients are only treated with previous antihypertensive treatment.

Other: Previous antihypertensive treatment

Interventions

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is induced by 4 cycles of 5 min of upper limb ischemia followed by 5 min reperfusion. Limb ischemia was induced by inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 200 mmHg.

RIC group

Patients are only treated with previous antihypertensive treatment.

Control group

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age≥40 years, ≤ 75 years, regardless of sex;
  • Having the history of essential hypertension and the systolic blood pressure of at least 140 mm Hg on two consective days;
  • Signed and dated informed consent is obtained

You may not qualify if:

  • Blood pressure ≥ 180/110mmHg;
  • Planned adjustment of antihypertensive drugs in the next month;
  • Severe hematologic disorders or significant coagulation abnormalities;
  • Individuals who had contraindication of remote ischemic conditioning, 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;
  • Severe hepatic and renal dysfunction, or ALT/AST \>3 times upper limit of normal, or serum creatinine \>265umol/l (\>3mg/dl);
  • Patients being enrolled or having been enrolled in another clinical trial within the 3 months prior to this clinical trial;
  • Patients unsuitable for enrollment in the clinical trial according to the investigator's discretion.
