Experimental: LRIC group
Participants in the experimental group receive both LRIC and standard clinical therapy. The LRIC treatment is composed of 5 cycles of bilateral upper limb ischemia for 5 minutes followed by reperfusion for another 5 minutes performed twice a day for a total of 90 consecutive days.The procedure was performed by using an electric autocontrol device with cuffs that inflated to a pressure of 200 mmHg during the ischemic period and deflated during the reperfusion (Patent No.CN200820123637.X, China).

- Change of cerebrovascular reserve [ Time Frame: 90 days ]We evaluate the compensatory capacity of cerebral blood vessels and brain tissue by the rate of changes in cerebral blood flow and brain metabolism under stress and resting conditions, respectively.
- Recurrence of stroke [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
- Safety of LRIC [Number of patients not tolerating RIC procedure and patients with erythema or skin lesions related to RIC] [ Time Frame: 90 days ]The safety of LRIC by the number of patients not tolerating RIC procedure and patients with erythema or skin lesions related to RIC.
