Recruiting studies
- NCT06828679Recruiting

This trial tests whether an AI-powered system can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago. It uses electrical stimulation to activate muscles and may lead to better recovery.
Hong Kong, Sha TinAges 65–80 - NCT06848894Recruiting
Study of a drug for stroke patients after blood clot treatment
This trial tests if adding a drug called human urinary kallidinogenase (HUK) can improve recovery for people who have had a stroke and already received clot-busting medicine or a procedure to remove the clot. The goal is to see if it helps reduce disability after a stroke.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06853535RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized antiplatelet therapy after stroke or TIA
This study tests whether guiding antiplatelet medication with a blood test can help prevent another stroke or TIA. It looks at people who have had a mild stroke or high-risk TIA within the last 48 hours.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06857487RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an herb formula to prevent early stroke worsening
This study tests a traditional Chinese herb formula called Qingre Huatan to see if it can stop stroke symptoms from getting worse in the first few days. It is for people who have had an ischemic stroke within the last 48 hours and are at high risk for early decline.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06863571RecruitingPhase 3
Early medication combo to reduce swelling after stroke
This trial tests a combination of medicines given early after a large ischemic stroke to reduce brain swelling. It may help people who have had a stroke in the middle cerebral artery within the last 3 days and have a large area of brain damage.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06878066RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting treatment after stroke while on Factor Xa inhibitor
This trial tests a clot-busting drug (thrombolysis) for people who had a stroke while on a Factor Xa inhibitor blood thinner. It aims to see if the drug can still safely break up the clot and reduce disability.
Bærum, GjettumAges 18 years+ - NCT06881420Recruiting
New stroke treatment study for blocked arteries
This study tests a special technique called BASIS to treat strokes caused by a buildup of plaque in the brain's large arteries. It may help people who have had a stroke from this condition and are treated within 72 hours.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06882577Recruiting
Heart evaluation after stroke treatment
This study checks how the heart is doing in people who had a stroke caused by a clot and received treatment. It aims to learn how the heart recovers after the stroke is treated.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06931535Recruiting
Arm cuff treatment for recent moderate back-of-brain stroke
This trial tests whether a simple, non-drug treatment (using a blood pressure cuff to briefly restrict blood flow to your arm) can help people with a recent moderate stroke in the back part of the brain. It aims to improve recovery by preparing the body to better handle the stroke damage.
ShenyangAges 18 years+ - NCT06941961Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy after stroke clot removal
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can help people recover motor function after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for patients who had the clot removed successfully with a procedure within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–85 - NCT06943885Recruiting
Mobile Stroke Unit vs Standard Ambulance for Stroke
This study compares a special ambulance equipped with a CT scanner and video link to stroke doctors (mobile stroke unit) versus standard emergency services for people having a stroke. It tests whether getting faster, specialized care on the way to the hospital improves recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06959199Recruiting
Treating stroke beyond 24 hours with artery-opening procedure
This study tests whether opening a blocked large artery in the brain up to 5 days (or even 7 days if symptoms are worsening) after a stroke can improve outcomes. It uses a catheter-based treatment (endovascular therapy) for people who have not responded to standard care and have limited brain damage so far.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06975696Recruiting
Fusion imaging for stroke clot removal
This trial tests a new imaging technique to help doctors see blood clots more clearly during a procedure to remove them from the brain. It may help patients having a stroke who are already eligible for clot removal.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT06984965Recruiting
Using EEG to Distinguish Types of Stroke
This study uses an EEG (a cap that records brain waves) to help tell the difference between two types of stroke: ischemic (caused by a clot) and hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding). It may help doctors choose the right treatment faster for patients who have a stroke.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18–80 - NCT06994975RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke drug test for patients who missed the 4.5 hour window
This trial tests a clot-busting drug for people who had a stroke more than 4.5 hours ago. It uses a special CT scan to see if the treatment can still help them.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07026318Recruiting
Combining clot removal and tirofiban for stroke
This trial tests adding the anti-clotting drug tirofiban to standard clot removal for people who have a stroke due to a narrowed artery in the brain. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes without raising bleeding risk.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07043686Recruiting
Cerebrolysin for early stroke recovery
This trial tests if adding Cerebrolysin to standard rehabilitation helps people recover arm and hand function better after a first-time, moderate stroke. You may be eligible if you had a stroke and can follow simple instructions.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07047014RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for medium vessel occlusion stroke (ARTS trial)
This trial tests the clot-busting drug tenecteplase in people who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours ago due to a medium-sized artery blockage. It aims to see if this medication can improve outcomes without needing a procedure to remove the clot.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07052045Recruiting
One-stop emergency care for fast stroke treatment
This trial tests a streamlined approach to quickly start endovascular therapy for people having a severe ischemic stroke caused by a blocked large or medium brain artery. It aims to reduce delays and improve recovery by coordinating the care team as soon as you arrive at the hospital.
NurembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07053917RecruitingPhase 1
Psilocybin therapy for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether a medicine called psilocybin (a psychedelic compound) can help people who had a stroke more than a year ago. It aims to see if the therapy can improve healing and flexibility in the brain.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07069452Recruiting
Predicting recovery after stroke with brain scan scores
This study looks at how well different scores from brain scans can predict recovery after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke and were treated with both clot-dissolving medicine and a clot removal procedure.
GonesseAges 18 years+ - NCT07080567RecruitingPhase 2
Testing maraviroc for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether the drug maraviroc can help people who recently had a stroke recover arm movement faster. You may be eligible if your stroke was within the last 7 days and your arm is weak but you can still wiggle your fingers.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07094763Recruiting
Tenecteplase for posterior stroke 4.5-24 hours after onset
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase for people who had a stroke affecting the back part of the brain (posterior circulation). It may be an option if you can get treatment between 4.5 and 24 hours after symptoms started.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute ischemic stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 458 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.
