Summary

This randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) on cognitive function in patients with cerebral small vessel disease-related mild cognitive impairment. Forty eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either RIC or sham RIC twice daily for 90 days in addition to standard medical therapy. The primary outcome is the change in Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score from baseline to 90 days. Secondary outcomes include changes in white matter hyperintensity burden and diffusion tensor imaging metrics on MRI, EEG functional connectivity, and activities of daily living.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Remote ischemic conditioning using IPC-906 device

A pneumatic cuff is placed on one upper limb and inflated to 200 mmHg for 5 minutes followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion, repeated for 5 cycles (total 45 minutes) per session, twice daily for 90 days, in addition to standard medical therapy.

DEVICE

Sham remote ischemic conditioning using IPC-906 device

The same cuff procedure is applied, but cuff pressure is set at 60 mmHg, which does not induce ischemia. The schedule is identical: 5 minutes inflation and 5 minutes reperfusion, 5 cycles (45 minutes) per session, twice daily for 90 days, in addition to standard medical therapy.
