๐ฌIn plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of limb occlusion therapy (remote ischemic conditioning, RIC) in subjects with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
The main question it aims to answer is whether RIC can improve long-term recovery in participants with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Researchers will compare levels of functional independence in participants in the RIC-group to participants in the sham-group.
