Remote Ischemic Conditioning to Reduce Perihematoma Edema in Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage (RICOCHET): A Randomized Control Trial.

Early perihematomal edema (PHE) growth is associated with worse functional outcomes at 90 days. Remote Ischemic conditioning (RIC) may reduce perihematomal inflammation if applied early to patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We hypothesize that early RIC, delivered for seven days in patients with spontaneous ICH, may reduce PHE growth.
