Ischemic Stroke clinical trials in Minnesota
We’re tracking 11 recruiting ischemic stroke studies with a site in Minnesota — including Phase 2 and Phase 2/Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- NCT05065216RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study drug for acute ischemic stroke started within 24 hours
This trial tests whether an investigational study drug can improve outcomes after an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by blocked blood flow). You may be eligible if you are able to start treatment quickly after symptom onset and have a moderate stroke severity on a standard stroke exam.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–90 - NCT07649135Recruiting
Remote Step-Counting Program for Stroke Recovery
This study tests whether a remote (at-home) program that tracks your daily steps and includes support from someone you know can help you become more physically active after a stroke. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical and if it helps people who had a stroke 6+ months ago move more.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07291024Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation and walking therapy for stroke recovery
This trial tests if pairing vagus nerve stimulation with walking exercises can help people who had a stroke more than six months ago improve their walking speed and mobility.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06679803Enrolling by invitation
Physical activity help for stroke survivors
This study tests whether a physical activity program can help stroke survivors become more active after leaving the hospital. It may help you recover and feel better.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07491952Recruiting
Continuous Dual Aspiration for Stroke With Zoom System
This trial tests a new way to remove blood clots from the brain using the Zoom System with a continuous double-suction technique (CDAT). It aims to see how well this approach works for people having a stroke caused by a large vessel blockage.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05338697Recruiting
Early testing after stroke to predict recovery outcomes
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Burnsville, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04916210Recruiting
Study how stroke type affects thinking and recovery
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05963698Recruiting
Closing off a heart pouch to prevent stroke
This study tests a procedure that seals off the left atrial appendage (a small heart pouch) to help prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. You may be considered if your stroke risk is high and you are already on blood-thinner medicine.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06027788Recruiting
Embolic protection during heart valve surgery
This trial tests a device that may help protect your brain from small particles during heart valve surgery. It is for people 60 and older having certain types of valve replacement or repair.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 60 years+ - NCT06289985Recruiting
Expanding clot removal for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new approach to see if removing clots from medium-sized brain blood vessels can help more patients recover from stroke. It aims to expand the use of a standard clot-removal procedure to people with less severe symptoms or blockages in smaller vessels.

What taking part in a ischemic stroke study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there ischemic stroke clinical trials in Minnesota?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 11 recruiting ischemic stroke studies with a site in Minnesota, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a ischemic stroke study in Minnesota?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Minnesota to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Minnesota, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a ischemic stroke trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New ischemic stroke studies open in Minnesota regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
