Recruiting studies
- NCT07693816Recruiting
Finding stroke caused by small artery disease
This study looks at whether your stroke was caused by branch atheromatous disease (BAD), a type of small artery blockage. Knowing this may help choose the best treatment and prevention plan.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT03356392Recruiting
Registry for stroke patients getting clot-busting treatment
This study records information from adults with an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked artery) who receive clot-busting medicine within 4.5 hours. It may help doctors better understand which patients benefit from treatment and how care decisions are made for certain blocked brain arteries.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06727006Recruiting
Rescue stenting and clot-dissolving medicine for severe stroke
This trial tests whether using a stent plus a clot-dissolving drug can improve outcomes for people with a large-vessel stroke who are having a procedure to remove the clot. It is designed for patients who can receive treatment within 24 hours of their first symptoms.
Bergamo, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06601127RecruitingPhase 2
Tiprogrel for recent minor stroke or high-risk TIA
This trial tests a new anti-platelet drug called Tiprogrel to prevent another stroke in people who recently had a minor stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) with certain artery narrowing or plaques. It aims to see if this medicine is safe and works better than current treatments.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 40 years+ - NCT07098572Recruiting
Comparing two types of electrical stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a four-channel electrical stimulation device works better than a standard one-channel device for improving arm and hand movement in people who recently had a stroke. The goal is to help with recovery of daily activities.
Hermagor, CarinthiaAges 18–99 - NCT06530927Recruiting
Blood clots and stroke risk study
This study looks at tiny blood clots and immune cell activity in people with or without a recent stroke. It aims to find markers that could predict stroke risk or help improve treatment.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06315231RecruitingPhase 2
Stroke Recovery Thinking Trial for Recent Stroke Patients
This study tests an under-the-tongue tablet (edaravone dexborneol) to help thinking and memory problems that can happen after an ischemic stroke. It may help people who recently had a stroke and now have trouble with attention, memory, or planning.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 40–80 - NCT06143488Recruiting
Clot removal versus medication for mild stroke with large vessel blockage
This trial compares a procedure to remove the blockage (endovascular therapy) with the best medications alone for people who have a mild stroke caused by a large blocked artery in the brain. The goal is to see if the procedure can improve recovery better than medicine alone.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT04321512Recruiting
Blood test study for people with heart or stroke problems
This study looks at a type of white blood cell (monocytes) in blood to understand differences in people with certain heart attacks, stable heart disease, or ischemic stroke. It may help researchers learn why these conditions happen and how the immune system may be involved.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07491744Enrolling by invitation
Stroke and TIA study on heart and blood vessel health
This study looks at the causes of stroke and TIA by doing extra tests on patients admitted to the hospital. It aims to better understand and prevent future heart and blood vessel problems.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 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+ - NCT04620642Recruiting
Registry for adults treated with clot-busting or clot removal
This trial is a registry that collects information from adults who were hospitalized for an ischemic stroke and received either clot-busting medicine or a procedure to remove the clot. It may help doctors better understand stroke treatments and outcomes.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06131385Recruiting
Tracking IV clot-busting treatment for stroke in China
This study is tracking patients in southwestern China who have had an acute ischemic stroke and received a clot-busting medicine through an IV. It aims to learn more about how well this treatment works and how it is used in real-world settings.
LuzhouAges Any age - NCT06009315Recruiting
Stroke treatment outcome prediction study
This study looks at patients having a stroke procedure to remove a clot. It aims to predict how well people recover. If you are having this treatment, the study might help doctors understand your likely outcome.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT06457217Recruiting
MRSI for minor stroke with large artery blockage
This study uses a special MRI technique (called MRSI) to look at brain chemistry in people who have had a minor stroke due to a blocked large artery. The goal is to see if the scan can help doctors better understand the stroke and guide treatment decisions.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT06737549RecruitingPhase 4
Electroacupuncture and NGF for swallowing problems after stroke
This study tests whether a specific type of electroacupuncture (a gentle needle therapy with mild electrical pulses) plus a nerve growth factor injection can help people who have trouble swallowing after a recent stroke. The goal is to see if this combination improves swallowing function better than standard care.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07475949RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke treatment for unknown wake-up time
This trial tests a clot-busting drug for people who had a stroke but don't know when it started, like waking up with symptoms. It may help reduce disability if given soon after noticing symptoms.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07263308RecruitingPhase 3
Albumin for large artery stroke after clot removal
This trial tests whether giving albumin, a protein naturally found in blood, can improve recovery after a large artery stroke when given along with a procedure to remove the clot. It's for people aged 18-80 who have a stroke from a blockage in the front part of the brain and can get treatment within 24 hours.
Anqing, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07220538RecruitingPhase 4
Ginkgo biloba for memory problems after a mild stroke
This trial tests whether adding ginkgo biloba extract tablets to standard stroke care helps improve memory and thinking in people who had a mild stroke. You may join if you are 55 or older, had a mild stroke in the last 1 to 2 weeks, and now have some cognitive difficulties.
AnyangAges 55 years+ - NCT05694663Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation to aid stroke recovery
This registry looks at people with a prior ischemic stroke to see how a device that stimulates the vagus nerve may support arm recovery. If you are planning to get the implant and can follow the program steps, your information may be followed to track progress and safety.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05653141Recruiting
Study for thinking problems after a first stroke

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ischemic stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 557 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.
