The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of remote ischemic conditioning combined with intravenous thrombolysis in treating acute ischemic stroke.
In this study, cases of ischemic stroke who undergo intravenous thrombolysis within 4.5 hours from onset are included. The experimental group receive basic treatment and remote ischemic conditioning for 200mmHg, 2 times within 6 hours to 24 hours from thrombolysis. The control group receive basic treatment and remote ischemic conditioning control for 60mmHg, 2 times within 6 hours to 24 hours from thrombolysis . Two groups will be followed up for 90 days to evaluate the efficacy and safety of remote ischemic conditioning combined with intravenous thrombolysis in treating acute ischemic stroke.

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.
Sham 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 60 mm Hg.

Frequency of adverse events during hospitalization
All adverse events until day-7 or discharge (whichever is earlier)
Time frame: 7 days
Frequency of adverse events during follow-up
Severe adverse events through day-90 after the onset of acute ischemic stroke.
Time frame: 3 months
National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) at 7 days from onset or discharge
National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) at 7 days from onset or discharge. Ranged from 0 to 42, a low value represents a better outcome.
Time frame: 7 days
Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score 0-2
Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score 0-2. Ranged from 0 to 6, a low value represents a better outcome.
Time frame: 3 months
