Stroke is the leading cause of disability in adults in the United States. Despite advances in hyperacute stroke care, advancements in stroke rehabilitation are lagging. We have previously shown that a non-invasive, cost-effective, easy to perform intervention, called ischemic conditioning (IC), can improve paretic leg strength, reduce muscle fatigue, and increase walking speed in chronic stroke survivors (>1 year post-stroke). The IC procedure makes the paretic leg transiently ischemic (5 minutes) using a cuff inflated to 225 mmHg, and repeats the occlusion 5 times with 5 minute periods of rest between cycles (45 total minutes). It is well accepted that the response to IC is complex and involves local, humoral and neural factors. The mechanism by which IC can confer motor benefit in stroke survivors is unknown. The aim of this study is to examine if IC can increase sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity, which would promote an increased cardiovascular response to exercise and increased muscle strength. We hypothesize that plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine levels will increase more during a cold pressor test (a well-tolerated test to induce a sympathetic response) in chronic stroke survivors who undergo a single session of IC vs. IC-Sham. To accomplish the goals of this study, 15 chronic stroke survivors will each make two visits to the adult translational research unit at Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) to have either IC or IC-Sham performed on their paretic leg in a counterbalanced order. Venous blood will be drawn before and after the IC or IC-Sham procedure and after a two-minute cold pressor test where the study participants submerge their hand into a bucket of ice water. This will cause an increased sympathetic response, which will be assessed by measuring blood pressure and the relative increase in the levels of circulating catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine, assessed by high performance liquid chromatography).

| Experimental: Ischemic Conditioning Study participants will receive one session of ischemic conditioning on their affected leg with cuff inflation to 225 mmHg. | Procedure: Ischemic Conditioning Ischemic conditioning is a well-defined, non-invasive procedure which consists of inflating a blood pressure cuff around a limb (in our study, the paretic leg), inflating the cuff to 225 mmHg to occlude blood flow to the limb for 5 minutes, releasing the cuff for 5 minutes, and repeating 5 times. In our study, participants will receive one session of the intervention (45 minutes total). |
| Sham Comparator: Sham Ischemic Conditioning Study participants will receive one session of sham ischemic conditioning on their affected leg with cuff inflation to 10 mmHg. | Procedure: Sham Ischemic Conditioning There will also be an IC Sham group which is identical to the IC intervention, except the cuff is only inflated to 10 mmHg, which is a high enough pressure to perceive cuff tightness but not high enough to have any physiological effects. |

Wynik
Podstawowe miary wyników
1. Change in Plasma Norepinephrine Concentration [Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
We will compare the absolute change in plasma norepinephrine from immediately after IC or IC Sham to immediately after the cold pressor test (i.e. the change in concentration from rest to immediately after the cold pressor test; comparison is deltaIC vs. deltaIC Sham).

We will compare the absolute change in plasma epinephrine from immediately after IC or IC Sham to immediately after the cold pressor test (i.e. the change in concentration from rest to immediately after the cold pressor test; comparison is deltaIC vs. deltaIC Sham).
2. Change in Systolic Blood Pressure [Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
We will compare the absolute change in systolic blood pressure from immediately after IC or IC Sham to immediately after the cold pressor test (i.e. the change in systolic blood pressure from rest to immediately after the cold pressor test; comparison is deltaIC vs. deltaIC Sham).
