Remote Ischemic Conditioning With Novel Optical Sensor Feedback Device in Acute Ischemic Stroke

All patients randomized to intervention arm will receive 5 cycles of ischemia/reperfusion in non-paralysed upper limb or if no upper limb paralysis non-dominant arm. They will receive it once daily for a period of 7 days or during hospital stay whichever is shorter.

In the sham group subjects will receive pressure sensation by keeping the pressure at 30 mmHg for 3 min in both arms All patients in sham and intervention group will receive standard of care management for ischemic stroke
