Recruiting studies
- NCT06591312RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin plus another drug after minor stroke or TIA
This trial tests whether combining aspirin with a second antiplatelet drug (ticagrelor or clopidogrel) helps prevent another stroke after a mild stroke or TIA. It might lower your risk of having another event.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–75 - NCT06591351RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin plus cilostazol or clopidogrel for minor stroke or TIA
This trial tests whether adding cilostazol or clopidogrel to aspirin is safe and effective for people who recently had a mild stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) caused by a large artery blockage. It aims to prevent another stroke during the first 90 days.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–75 - NCT06591390RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin plus another drug for minor stroke or TIA
This trial tests whether taking aspirin along with either ticagrelor or cilostazol helps prevent another stroke in people who have had a mild stroke or transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke). You must start treatment within 24 hours of your first 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 - 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+ - NCT06722677Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation plus rehab for arm strength after stroke
This trial tests whether pairing vagus nerve stimulation with rehabilitation exercises can improve arm function after a stroke. It may help if your stroke was from a clot and you still have weakness in one arm.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 22–80 - NCT06995040Recruiting
Brain resilience after minor stroke study
This study looks at how the brain heals after a minor stroke by analyzing your genes and brain MRI over time. It aims to understand why some people recover better than others.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT07307989RecruitingPhase 2
Statin plus ezetimibe vs. statin alone after stroke
This trial compares two treatments for people who recently had a stroke or TIA and have high cholesterol with artery plaque. Some participants will get a combination of two cholesterol-lowering medicines (statin and ezetimibe), while others will get only a statin.
PoziAges 20–100 - NCT02662751Recruiting
Low-dose whole-body scan after stroke or TIA
This study looks at whether a low-dose whole-body imaging scan soon after a stroke or TIA (sometimes called a “mini-stroke”) can help doctors evaluate you. It also includes long follow-up to see how patients do over time.
MontpellierAges 18–89 - NCT03160131Recruiting
Rehab program to improve vision after brain injury
This study looks at rehabilitation to improve vision after a brain injury. It may help people with significant vision problems regain everyday visual function.
Copenhagen, HellerupAges 14 years+ - NCT03291392Recruiting
CUHK stroke biobank for blood, fluid, and tissue samples
This study builds a research bank using samples from people with stroke, their family members, and some people without narrowing in their blood vessels. Your samples help researchers study stroke and related brain and vessel changes.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT07237542Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for small stroke prevention
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (using brief periods of blood pressure cuff inflation on the arm) can help prevent early neurological worsening in people who have had a small, specific type of stroke. It may offer a safe way to protect your brain while you recover.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05728333RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tirofiban or alteplase before clot removal in stroke
This trial tests whether giving either tirofiban or alteplase through a vein before a mechanical clot-removal procedure works better for an acute ischemic stroke. It may help improve how well blood flow returns and how much recovery patients can have after treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06472336Recruiting
Stenting for severe stroke caused by plaque buildup
This trial tests whether placing a stent (a tiny tube) in the blocked artery in the brain can improve blood flow and help people recover from a severe stroke, especially when standard clot removal has not worked.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07319312Recruiting
Nurse-led stroke care support after leaving the hospital in Tanzania
This trial is testing whether a nurse-led program can help stroke survivors and their caregivers after they leave the hospital. It aims to improve recovery and support for those with mild to moderate stroke symptoms.
Dar es SalaamAges 18 years+ - NCT07764172Recruiting
Sarcopenia in acute ischemic stroke
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people who have had an acute ischemic stroke. It aims to understand how muscle wasting affects recovery, which may help improve care for stroke patients.
MoscowAges 50 years+ - NCT07294274Recruiting
Predicting depression risk after a stroke
This study creates a tool to predict if someone might develop depression after an ischemic stroke. It aims to help doctors identify and support patients who are at higher risk.
ChongqingAges Any age - NCT04130503Recruiting
Breathing device study after a recent ischemic stroke
This study looks at whether using a PAP breathing machine soon after an ischemic stroke helps sleep and recovery. It focuses on people who have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea diagnosed around the time of their stroke.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04475510Recruiting
Stop blood-thinner therapy after PFO closure in younger stroke patients
This trial tests whether it’s safe to stop antithrombotic (blood-thinner) treatment after a successful hole-in-the-heart procedure (PFO closure) in people age 60 and under who had an unexplained stroke or TIA. It may help some people avoid long-term blood-thinner side effects if their risk stays low.
Québec, QuebecAges 18–60 - NCT06195501Recruiting
Swallowing after heart ultrasound in acute stroke: follow-up study
This study follows stroke patients who get a TEE (a heart ultrasound through the mouth) to see how often swallowing problems occur after the procedure. If you qualify, researchers will check your swallowing to better understand and manage any risks.
Giessen, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT06224517Recruiting
Artery health after stroke and rehabilitation
This study looks at how well your arteries are working after a stroke and how rehabilitation may help. It uses a simple, painless test (pulse wave velocity) to check artery stiffness.

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.
