Remote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial - 3

This UK study tests whether gently squeezing both arms with blood pressure cuffs can help protect the brain after a stroke. Known as remote ischaemic conditioning, it aims to reduce long-term disability. Around 1,300 patients will receive either this cuff treatment or a dummy version alongside their standard NHS care.
