Official Title: Remote Ischemic Conditioning for Avoiding Recurrence of Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis

Brief Summary:

The primary objective of the study will be to determine whether remote limb ischemic conditioning (RLIC) compared with sham RLIC (placebo) treatment reduces the 12-month risk of recurrent IS in patients with a recent TIA or IS caused by stenosis of a major intracranial artery.

After screening period, eligible patients will be randomly allocated into 2 groups. In addition, all participants receive an usual clinical therapy.
