Remote ischemic conditioning: 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. RIC will be conducted twice daily for 7 days.
Sham remote ischemic conditioning: 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 60 mm Hg. RIC will be conducted twice daily for 7 days.
Study summary
he purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of remote ischemic conditioning for acute ischemic stroke.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score 0-2 — 3 months The primary outcome measure of efficacy is the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) dichotomized to define good functional outcome as mRS 0-2 at 90 days.score, dichotomized to define good functional outcome as mRS 0-2 at 90 days.
