Personalized brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - 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.

Clot-busting drug through artery for medium-vessel stroke
This trial tests a clot-busting drug given directly into the arteries of the brain for people who have had a stroke due to a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve recovery when started up to 72 hours after symptoms begin.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07135310Recruiting
Stroke 120 action for faster treatment
This trial tests a program called STROKE 120 that teaches communities in China how to recognize stroke symptoms and call an ambulance quickly. The goal is to see if it helps people get to the hospital within 4.5 hours, which can lead to better recovery.
ShanghaiAges Any age - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07125157Recruiting
Balance training with biofeedback for chronic stroke patients
This study tests if adding biofeedback (visual or sound cues) to task-specific training helps improve balance and reduce fall risk in people who had a stroke more than 3 months ago. It is for patients in Central Lahore, Pakistan.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40 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+ - NCT07746947Recruiting
Stroke treatment study for medium-sized vessel blockages
This study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from medium-sized brain arteries works for people who have had a severe stroke. It may help improve recovery by treating blockages that are not in the largest arteries.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–85 - NCT04847752Recruiting
Predicting outcomes after stroke from artery plaque
This study looks at factors that can help predict recovery and risk after an ischemic stroke caused by plaque buildup in a major artery. It may help doctors better forecast prognosis and tailor follow-up care for people like you.
WuhanAges Up to 80 years - NCT06759753RecruitingPhase 2
Aleeto for acute ischemic stroke: a randomized trial
This trial tests a drug called Aleeto in people who have had an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) within the last 72 hours. It aims to see if Aleeto can improve recovery and reduce disability.
BeijingAges 30–80 - NCT07581210RecruitingPhase 2
QD202 Study for Recent Stroke Treated With Clot-Busting Medicine
This study tests whether a new drug called QD202 can help protect the brain and improve recovery when given alongside standard clot-busting therapy (thrombolysis) for acute ischemic stroke. You would be in the trial if you had a stroke in the last 24 hours and are receiving or planning to receive thrombolytic treatment.
Meizhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT07135089RecruitingPhase 3
Tirofiban before clot removal for large artery stroke
This trial tests whether adding a clot-preventing medication called tirofiban before a mechanical clot removal procedure can improve recovery in people with a certain type of stroke. It's for those with a large artery blockage in the front part of the brain who are able to start the procedure within 12 hours.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT06940128Recruiting
Ischemic conditioning after stroke clot removal
This trial tests a method called direct ischemic conditioning, which is a gentle way to prepare your brain to better handle the return of blood flow after a stroke. It is for people who have had a large artery blockage in the front part of the brain and have already had a successful procedure to reopen the artery.
Shengyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT05113043Recruiting
Study links gut changes with stroke in younger adults
This study looks at whether differences in gut bacteria (microecology) are linked to stroke in adults ages 18–45. You may be asked to provide stool (fecal) samples soon after admission to help researchers understand possible connections.
ShanghaiAges 18–45 - NCT05268861Recruiting
Understanding brain learning after stroke during arm training
This study looks at how thinking and brain processes affect learning to move your arm after a stroke. You may be asked to do arm tasks in a way that helps the researchers understand what helps or limits motor learning.
Laval, QuebecAges 40–75 - NCT06511089RecruitingPhase 3
Carotid artery stenting during stroke clot removal
This trial tests whether placing a stent in a narrowed carotid artery during a procedure to remove a stroke clot improves outcomes. If you have a stroke with a blocked large artery and significant carotid narrowing, this study may be relevant to you.
GroningenAges 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+ - NCT06437600Recruiting
Immediate balloon angioplasty for severe stroke with brain artery narrowing
This trial tests whether doing an angioplasty (a procedure to open a narrowed artery with a small balloon) as soon as possible after a severe stroke caused by a blockage in a brain artery can improve recovery. It is for people who arrive within 24 hours of their stroke and have a specific type of narrowing inside the skull.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05263804Recruiting
Study uses MRI and blood clues after ischemic stroke
This study looks for biological and imaging markers that may predict heart/vascular outcomes after an ischemic stroke. You may join if you are eligible for standard stroke treatment and can complete planned follow-up and MRI scans.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ischemic stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 577 recruiting 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 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 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.
