Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07045987Enrolling by invitation
Early warning for futile clot removal in stroke
This study looks at how to predict when a clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) might not work well for acute ischemic stroke. The goal is to build an early warning system so doctors can better decide on treatment.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT05378035Recruiting
DOAC interruption study for Chinese people with atrial fibrillation
This trial studies how safely and effectively to pause a blood thinner (a DOAC) for about 48 hours before an elective procedure in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help confirm the best way to reduce bleeding risk without raising stroke risk.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT03753555RecruitingPhase 4
High-intensity statin treatment for certain stroke artery plaque cases
This trial tests whether a higher-dose statin can help after an ischemic stroke in people who have specific plaque patterns in brain blood vessels. It may help lower the risk of another stroke by targeting the artery plaque process.
ShenyangAges 18–80 - NCT04261478Recruiting
Treatment for stroke caused by blocked brain and neck arteries
This trial studies a procedure that opens blocked blood vessels in and behind the brain during a stroke, sometimes after standard clot-thinning medicine. It may help people who have brain tissue that can still be saved and a major blockage in both the neck and brain arteries.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06927206Recruiting
Vibration and muscle stimulation for leg function after stroke
This trial tests if adding a gentle vibrator to standard muscle-stimulation therapy can improve leg movement in people recovering from a stroke. It's for those who had a stroke 2 weeks to 3 months ago and have mild to moderate thinking and movement issues.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–60 - NCT06864741Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab for stroke patients
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) exercises can help people who have had a stroke recover arm movement. You will play specially designed VR games while in the hospital or at home to see if it improves your arm function.
Kentville, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05853796Recruiting
Studying stroke warning signs in young adults
This observational study follows people ages 18–50 who had a first TIA (“mini-stroke”) or an acute ischemic stroke to better understand what happens after the event. It may help improve future care by tracking symptoms, imaging findings, and recovery over time.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18–50 - NCT05140148RecruitingPhase 2
Amantadine to help recovery after stroke
This Phase 2 study tests whether the medicine amantadine can improve recovery after a recent stroke. It may help some people regain function during early rehabilitation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT05708807Recruiting
Follow-up study of recovery after first-time stroke in Gothenburg
This study tracks how people recover after their first-ever stroke (either blocked artery stroke or bleeding in the brain). It may help doctors better understand recovery patterns and what support could work best over time.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06633809Recruiting
Treating minor stroke with large artery blockage
This study tests whether a specific treatment (likely endovascular therapy) helps people who have a minor stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment within 24 hours of your stroke to try to improve your recovery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06940635Recruiting
Hand therapy for stroke: may help speech and swallowing
This study tests whether a special hand therapy using brain-computer interface and electrical stimulation can also help improve speech and swallowing problems after a stroke. You may be eligible if you're at least 3 months past your stroke, have some arm weakness, and have aphasia or dysphagia.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT06464731Recruiting
Clot removal for mild stroke due to large artery blockage
