BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT06551727Enrolling by invitation
Stroke progression treatment: blood pressure and antiplatelet therapy
This trial tests a combination of blood pressure control and antiplatelet therapy for people whose stroke symptoms are getting worse. It is looking for those without a large brain artery clot or heart-related cause.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06479174Recruiting
Cognitive strategies after stroke with family support
This study tests if combining cognitive exercises with a safe, mild brain stimulation can help improve memory and thinking after a stroke. It also looks at how shared family health history might affect recovery.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT05714618Recruiting
Heart inflammation after stroke
This study uses a special heart MRI to look for inflammation after a stroke. It aims to understand if the brain injury affects the heart, which could lead to better care.
London, OntarioAges 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 - NCT07614074Recruiting
Understanding Recovery from Coma and Unconsciousness
This study follows patients who have been in a coma (deep unconsciousness) for at least 24 hours due to a brain injury. Researchers will track how patients recover over time to better understand which factors help predict who will wake up and how well they'll recover.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07604181Recruiting
Telerehabilitation vs clinic therapy for stroke arm recovery
This trial compares two ways of helping stroke survivors regain arm and hand function: therapy done remotely online versus in-person at a clinic. Both use a specialized approach called constraint-induced movement therapy, which encourages use of the weaker arm. The study aims to see which method works better for people in the first 6 months after stroke.
Faisalabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–70 - NCT07447804Recruiting
Diaphragm and Breathing Strength in Hemiplegia Patients
This study looks at how hemiplegia affects the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and your breathing strength. It aims to help guide rehabilitation after a stroke.
Istanbul, AtaşehirAges 18–80 - NCT06657235Recruiting
Stroke recovery program to improve health after a stroke
This study tests a transitional care program for people who have had an ischemic stroke. It aims to help you manage risk factors and improve your health after leaving the hospital, using telemedicine visits.
Winchester, VirginiaAges 30 years+ - NCT06605014Recruiting
Body alignment after stroke or mini-stroke
This study looks at how a stroke or mini-stroke affects the body's natural movement and alignment (called somatic dysfunction). Researchers want to see if there are common patterns of tightness or imbalance after a stroke, which could help guide future treatments.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06591338RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin plus ticagrelor or clopidogrel for minor stroke
This trial tests whether adding aspirin to either ticagrelor or clopidogrel (two antiplatelet medicines) can help prevent another stroke in people who recently had a minor stroke or TIA affecting a large brain artery. It is for people who started antiplatelet treatment within 24 hours of their symptoms.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–75 - NCT06591377RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin plus a second drug for minor stroke or TIA
This trial tests whether adding ticagrelor or cilostazol to aspirin is better than aspirin alone for preventing another stroke. It is for patients who recently had a minor stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) caused by a blockage in a large artery.
CairoAges 18–75 - NCT06404268RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Helping stroke survivors regain ankle movement with exercise
This study tests whether gentle leg exercises can help people recovering from a recent stroke. The focus is on improving ankle movement and strength on the weak side.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–85 - NCT06040255Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Steroid treatment for focal brain artery inflammation in children
This trial tests whether short-term steroids improve recovery for children who recently had a stroke or mini-stroke caused by inflammation of a brain artery. If you qualify, you would receive steroids and follow-up imaging to see if it helps prevent further damage.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 1–18 - NCT05948566RecruitingPhase 2
Improving response to stroke treatment with an antibody drug
This Phase 2 trial tests an antibody treatment (TS23) given to people with a suspected acute ischemic stroke to improve how well they respond to stroke care. You may qualify if your stroke scan shows the right pattern of injured brain tissue and if the study drug can be given within a short time window after symptoms start.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05556395Recruiting
Study after stroke to help thinking and memory recovery
This trial looks at stroke patients who can show specific scan findings on an MRI, then uses thinking tests by phone to track cognitive (thinking and memory) changes. It may help researchers understand whether targeting brain blood-flow disruption can improve post-stroke cognition.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04701684Recruiting
Fast-stroke treatment workflow study to save minutes to clot removal
This study tests whether a streamlined hospital workflow can reduce the time it takes to reopen blocked blood vessels during very fast stroke treatment. Faster treatment may help more brain tissue be saved by getting endovascular (clot-removal) therapy started sooner.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06383182Recruiting
Study of blood markers after stroke artery treatment
This study looks at how certain proteins in the blood change after a procedure to remove a large blockage in a brain artery. The goal is to better understand recovery after stroke treatment.
ShenyangAges 18–80 - NCT06534645Recruiting
STOP-stroke: Predicting recovery after a stroke
This study collects health data from people with a suspected stroke to improve predictions of recovery. Your participation helps researchers better understand how to treat strokes in the future.
ZurichAges Any age - NCT07616622Enrolling by invitation
Recovery Methods for Upper Arm Weakness After Stroke
This study compares two physical therapy approaches—Roods (a sensory-based technique) and PNF (a stretching and strengthening method)—to help improve arm function in people recovering from their first stroke. Both methods aim to help you regain strength and control in your upper arm and hand.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT06242366Recruiting
Transitional care program for stroke recovery
This trial tests a transitional care program for people recovering from a first-time stroke that caused weakness on one side of the body. The program is designed to help you manage your recovery at home after leaving the hospital.

Breathing and Balance Training After Stroke
This study tests whether combining rhythmic breathing exercises with balance training can improve balance and trunk control in people recovering from stroke. You'll participate in structured exercises designed to help you regain stability and core strength.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute ischemic stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 447 recruiting acute ischemic stroke studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acute ischemic stroke trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute ischemic stroke trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
