The study aims to assess if adjunctive remote ischaemic conditioning can improve functional outcomes in patients with acute ischaemic stroke receiving mechanical thrombectomy.
Multicentre, randomised, controlled, open-label trial
786 patients randomized to 14-day RIC, 30-day RIC, or standard treatment
Blinded endpoint assessment with functional independence defined as mRS score of 0–2 at 90 days
Interim analysis includes 786 patients, with 262 in each group
Mean age is 68.0 years; 88.7% had NIHSS score of 6–20
Trial recruitment and follow-up ongoing, with analysis follow-up completing by March 2026
