Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of Remote Ischemic Adaptation ( Intermittent Pressure Stimulation ) in the Treatment of Insomnia After Stroke

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 10 Feb 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The incidence of post-stroke depression is high, which will affect the rehabilitation of neurological function, damage cognitive function, and increase the risk of subsequent stroke recurrence. The guidelines recommend that in addition to antiplatelet, blood pressure control, lipid-lowering and other treatments, secondary prevention of post-stroke depression should also be strengthened. Moreover, after the occurrence of post-stroke depression, methods such as medication and psychotherapy have their own limitations, such as potential adverse drug reactions and limited psychotherapy. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention of post-stroke depression. The remote ischemic adaptation therapy applied in our study is a safe, non-invasive and convenient physical therapy. By transiently and repeatedly applying ischemia-reperfusion stimulation to both upper arms, it induces a systemic protective response, improves the brain 's tolerance to ischemia and hypoxia, and exerts a protective effect on multiple organs such as the brain and heart. The RIC therapeutic instrument has been national patented and has been maturely applied to the prevention and treatment of acute cerebral infarction, which can promote the rehabilitation of neurological function. In addition, it also has certain curative effect in the treatment of cerebrovascular stenosis, refractory hypertension, depression, insomnia, anxiety and so on.
