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 inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 200 mm Hg. RIC will be conducted twice daily for 7 consecutive days. Additionally, the patients will be treated with standard medical treatment according to the Guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke in China 2014.

Procedure: Remote ischemic conditioning

Sham RIC+Standard medical treatment

PLACEBO 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 inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 60 mm Hg. RIC will be conducted twice daily for 7 consecutive days. Additionally, the patients will be treated with standard medical treatment according to the Guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke in China 2014.

Procedure: Sham remote ischemic conditioning

Interventions

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 inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 200 mm Hg.

RIC+Standard medical treatment

Sham 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 inflation of a blood pressure cuff to 60 mm Hg.
