Recruiting studies
- NCT03318432Recruiting
Stroke recovery research registry for people with ongoing symptoms
This study is a registry that enrolls adults who have had a stroke and still have symptoms. It helps researchers learn about stroke recovery over time and may connect you to future stroke research studies.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05691244RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours
This Phase 3 trial studies sovateltide (and a placebo) in adults with an ischemic stroke, aiming to improve safety and outcomes. It focuses on people who can start treatment quickly after stroke symptoms begin and who do not have bleeding in the brain on imaging.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT05300997Recruiting
Test blood and antibody markers for suspected acute stroke
This study looks at blood tests to find signs of immune activity after a suspected stroke. It may help doctors diagnose stroke faster and better understand what is happening in the body soon after symptoms start.
Hong KongAges 18–100 - NCT02795052Recruiting
Stem cell treatment trial for nerve injury
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06947343Recruiting
Action observation vs motor relearning for stroke balance
This study compares two types of therapy—watching actions and a standard motor relearning program—to see which helps stroke survivors improve their balance and walking. If you are able to stand briefly, you may benefit from this extra rehab.
IslamabadAges 45 years+ - NCT06530537RecruitingPhase 3
Cilostazol vs. Aspirin for recent stroke with brain microbleeds
This trial compares two medications—cilostazol and aspirin—to see which is better at preventing another stroke in people who have had a recent clot-caused stroke and also have tiny spots of bleeding in the brain (microbleeds). It aims to find a safer and more effective treatment for this specific group.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 35 years+ - NCT07747701Recruiting
Monitoring brain blood flow after stroke treatment to predict recovery
This study looks at whether monitoring brain blood flow after a blocked artery is opened can help predict if the treatment will be successful. It may help doctors identify who might need additional help after stroke treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07556068Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow Recovery After Stroke Clot Removal
This study enrolls people who had an acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blood clot) and received emergency treatment to remove the clot. Researchers want to understand why some patients recover well while others don't, by measuring how the brain regulates its own blood flow after treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07611136Recruiting
Brain Vessel Disease Progression After Different Stroke Types
This study examines how small blood vessel disease in the brain progresses differently depending on whether you've had a recent stroke. Researchers will use MRI scans to track changes over time and better understand this condition.
Ulm, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06070233Recruiting
Radiosurgery for spasticity after stroke or injury
This trial tests a non-invasive radiation treatment (radiosurgery) to reduce severe muscle stiffness (spasticity) that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help people with spasticity caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy.
Winter Park, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT05967728Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing remote arm conditioning to protect the brain in stroke
This Phase 2 study tests whether a simple remote method that briefly reduces blood flow in the arm (called ischemic conditioning) can help people with brain small-vessel disease or an acute ischemic stroke. Participants are monitored by phone and, for stroke patients, through a Mobile Stroke Unit.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 55 years+ - NCT06712004RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new stroke drug: different doses for people who cannot get standard care
This trial tests a new medication (bevifibatide) to see which dose works best for people having an ischemic stroke who cannot get standard treatments like clot-busting drugs or a procedure to remove the clot. It aims to improve recovery by stopping clots from getting worse.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06486792RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke prevention in patients with hidden atrial fibrillation
This trial tests if starting blood thinners can prevent another stroke in people who had a stroke but were found to have a hidden heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. It is for older adults who have had a recent stroke without a known cause.
Paris, ParisAges 65 years+ - NCT05625438Recruiting
Home video therapy for early arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a home-based (telerehabilitation) program to help people practice arm movement after a recent stroke (or certain brain injuries). It may help improve arm function when started soon after symptoms begin.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07379190RecruitingPhase 3
Tirofiban for late window stroke due to artery plaque
This trial tests whether a drug called tirofiban can help people who had a stroke more than 24 hours ago but within 7 days. It is for strokes caused by a buildup of plaque in a large brain artery, and uses a special MRI to confirm the cause.
Weifang, China/Shandong ProvinceAges 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+ - NCT07556887Recruiting
Using IMPROVE to Choose Carotid Artery Treatment After Stroke
This study tests whether a new tool called IMPROVE helps doctors decide if you need surgery or a stent to clear a narrowed carotid artery (a major neck blood vessel) after a recent stroke or mini-stroke. The goal is to better predict which patients will benefit most from this treatment.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06954610Recruiting
Heart Check for Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation
This trial uses heart imaging to better understand stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help doctors decide on the best treatment to prevent another stroke.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06655636Recruiting
Testing a new robotic brace to help stroke survivors open their hand
This trial tests a wearable robotic device (ExoNET) that helps stroke survivors with hand weakness. It aims to see if the device is safe and helpful for people who had a stroke at least 8 months ago and still have trouble using their arm and hand.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40–70 - 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.
