The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of serial remote ischemic conditioning on dynamic cerebral autoregulation in patients with intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase.
In this study, cases of ischemic stroke who undergo intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase within 4.5 hours from the onset are included according to the principle of random, and parallel control. The experimental group receive basic treatment and remote ischemic conditioning for 200mmHg, 2 times per day for 7 consecutive days. The control group receive basic treatment and remote ischemic conditioning control for 60mmHg, 2 times per day for 7 consecutive days. Both groups underwent dynamic cerebral autoregulation measurements at days 1,3,and 7 of onset and recorded the relevant indexes. We aimed to determine the effect of serial remote ischemic conditioning on dynamic cerebral autoregulation in patients with intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase.

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.

RECRUITINGDynamic cerebral autoregulation parameter
Dynamic cerebral auto-regulation parameters derived from transfer function analysis. Continuous cerebral blood flow velocities of bilateral middle cerebral artery will be assessed noninvasively using transcranial Doppler. Spontaneous arterial blood pressure will be simultaneously recorded using a servo-controlled plethysmograph on the left or right middle finger with an appropriate finger cuff size. Transfer function analysis will be used to derive the autoregulatory parameters.
Time frame: 0-7 days
National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS)
National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) ranged from 0 to 42, a low value represents a better outcome.
Time frame: 0-7 days
modified Rankin Scale (mRS)
modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ranged from 0 to 6, a low value represents a better outcome.
Time frame: 0-90 days
