Background: Stroke is a prominent cause of mortality as well disability globally. More than 40% stroke survivors experience complications that last lifetime. Following an ischemic (IS), abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) may influence probability another and healing process. Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) safe, effective, non-invasive treatment method enhances blood circulation to brain manages cardiovascular cerebrovascular diseases. There limited amount literature exploring effects EECP on HRV specifically patients. Hence, study aims determine impact IS Methods: This single arm pre post intervention recruits 35 out 45 subjects. The will be given 5 days/week/45 minutes session for sessions. Pre-and post-intervention outcome measures measured. After collecting data, statistical analysis done. Conclusion: application unlikely any adverse patients, indicating safe effective improve hand grip strength QOL Trial registration: Clinical trials (CTRI): CTRI/2023/11/060112.
