Brief Summary:

Cerebral infarction is the most common form of stroke (80% of strokes). Stroke is the first cause of acquired disability, and the 2nd cause of dementia and death. The only approved treatment in the first 4.5 hour is intravenous rt-PA thrombolysis (Actilyse ®) whose objective is recanalization of occluded artery and reperfusion of the brain parenchyma. Few patients are treated (1-5%) and they keep disability in 50-60% of cases. This handicap is mainly correlated to the final infarct size. The objective of neuroprotective treatments is to reduce the final size of the cerebral infarction.

The per-conditioning remote ischemic (Per-CID) showed a neuroprotective effect in cerebral ischemia by reducing the final size of cerebral infarction animal models. The per-CID corresponds, in cases of cerebral ischemia, to iterative ischemia realization of a member with a cuff. In humans, the per-CID has shown a cardioprotective effect in a randomized control trial involving 250 patients within 6 first hours of myocardial infarction and candidate for primary angioplasty.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: With per-CID protocol
Usual care patients (thrombolysis or not ) with remote ischemic per-conditioning using an electronic tourniquet .
 Device: Lower limb tourniquet

Lower limb tourniquet will be put on half thigh. The protocol will include 4 cycles of inflation cuff 110 mm Hg above systolic blood pressure followed by 4 cycles of deflation in between.

The total duration of per-CID protocol will be 40 minutes (4 phases of 5 minutes inflations' of and 4 phases of 5 minutes deflations').
Without per-CID protocol
Usual care patients (thrombolysis or not).
 Other: Usual care


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Brain MRI changes of DWI ( Diffusion-Weighted Imaging) brain infarction volume (cc) between baseline (<H6) and day 1 in the 2 groups of patients ( Remote Ischemic Perconditioning and control) [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    Central lecture of brain MRI, blinded to clinical data, randomisation group and day of MRI realization ( day 0 or day 1) Endpoint criteria: DWI volume d1-d0 (cc) measured by a dedicated software (Neurinfarct) Comparison of DWI volume d1-d0 between the 2 groups ( Per-CID group and control)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) <2 at 3 months in the 2 groups (PerCID and control) [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
    Percentage of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) <2 ( i.e. favorable outcome with no disability) at 3 months in the 2 groups (PerCID and control)


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. safety of remote perconditioning ischemic process [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
    - Rate of lower limb ischemia and deep venous thrombosis in Per CID group

  2. safety of remote perconditioning ischemic process [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
    Rate of early neurological worsening (NIHSS score (d1- d0) > 4 points) in Per-CID and control group

  3. safety of remote perconditioning ischemic process [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
    Percentage of hemorrhagic transformation in case of IV thrombolysis in the 2 groups
