Conditions
Summary
Revascularization surgery has been the standard treatment to prevent ischemic stroke in pediatric Moyamoya disease (MMD) patients with ischemic symptoms. However, perioperative complications, such as hyperperfusion syndrome, new infarct on imaging, or ischemic stroke, are inevitable. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a noninvasive and easy-to-use neuroprotective strategy, and it has potential effects on preventing hyperperfusion syndrome and ischemic infarction.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5
- Age: ≥0 and ≤18
- All of the patients underwent digital subtraction angiography and met the current diagnostic criteria recommended by the Research Committee on MMD (Spontaneous Occlusion of the Circle of Willis) of the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Japan in 2012
- Suzuki stages concentrated in Stage III and IV
- Presentation with ischemic symptoms, such as transient ischemic attack (TIA), headache, seizure, hemorrhagic stroke, and ischemic stroke confirmed by MRI
- Informed consent obtained from patient or acceptable patient's surrogate
Exclusion Criteria9
- Severe hepatic or renal dysfunction
- Severe hemostatic disorder or severe coagulation dysfunction
- Patients with unilateral MMD or the presence of secondary moyamoya phenomenon caused by autoimmune disease, Down syndrome, neurofibromatosis, leptospiral infection, or previous skull-base radiation therapy
- Any of the following cardiac disease - rheumatic mitral and or aortic stenosis, prosthetic heart valves, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, sick sinus syndrome, left atrial myxoma, patent foramen ovale, left ventricular mural thrombus or valvular vegetation, congestive heart failure, bacterial endocarditis, or any other cardiovascular condition interfering with participation
- Serious, advanced, or terminal illnesses with anticipated life expectancy of less than one year
- Patient participating in a study involving other drug or device trial study
- Patients with existing neurological or psychiatric disease that would confound the neurological or functional evaluations
- Unlikely to be available for follow-up for 3 months
- Contraindication for RIC - severe soft-tissue injury, fracture, or peripheral vascular disease in the upper limbs.

Interventions
Patients allocated to the RIC group will undergo RIC procedure during which bilateral arm cuffs are inflated to a pressure of 50 mmHg over systolic blood pressure for five cycles of 5 min followed by 5 min of relaxation of the cuffs.
Patients allocated to Medication group will accept medication treatment by professional neurologists
