Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) may slightly reduce stroke recurrence and improve functional outcomes, but increases adverse events. Further research is needed to confirm benefits and optimize RIC protocols for stroke prevention and treatment.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) is explored as a neuroprotective strategy for stroke prevention and treatment.
- RIC involves transient limb blood flow restriction and restoration.
- Existing evidence suggests potential benefits but requires further investigation due to study variations.
Conclusions:
- RIC shows potential in reducing stroke recurrence and improving functional outcomes, though evidence certainty varies.
- High risk of bias, incomplete data, and imprecision limit current evidence.
- Further high-quality RCTs with diverse populations and standardized protocols are needed to confirm findings and guide clinical practice.
