Abstract:
1. A method for treatment of a chronic disease by administering personalized chronic ischemic conditioning treatments causing repeated ischemia by interrupting blood flow to a tissue using a non-invasive occluding device adapted to occlude a blood vessel and cause ischemia comprising: a) measuring baseline vascular function; programming the duration of the ischemia; c) interrupting blood flow to a tissue using a non-invasive blood flow occluding device adapted to cause ischemia according to the program; d) restoring blood flow to the tissue according to the program; e) Repeating steps (c) and (d) at least 3 times per treatment session; f) Repeating steps (c) to (e) at least 2 times per week; g) Measuring vascular function to monitor the effect of treatment at least once every 4 weeks.
