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+ - NCT07367100Recruiting
Testing a new clot-removal catheter for stroke
This study tests a special catheter (a thin tube) designed to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain during a stroke. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow.
EdegemAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT02900521Recruiting
Brest stroke and clot registry for local adults
This study is a population registry that records information from people in a specific area of Brest who had certain types of brain blood vessel events. It helps researchers understand how these conditions happen in the real world and may improve future care planning.
BrestAges 15 years+ - NCT07406971RecruitingPhase 2
Capsaicin nose spray for acute stroke
This trial tests a capsaicin spray applied inside the nose to stimulate a nerve cluster behind the nose, which may help improve blood flow in people having a moderate to severe stroke within the last 24 hours.
Aguascalientes, AguascalientesAges 18 years+ - NCT07456956Recruiting
Exercise comparison for muscle loss after stroke
This trial compares two types of leg exercise programs (high-intensity vs. moderate-intensity interval training) to see which better helps rebuild muscle strength and function in people who have had a stroke within the past 1 to 6 months.
Istanbul, AtaşehirAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT07575984RecruitingPhase 4
Mexidol Safety and Efficacy for Acute Ischemic Stroke
This trial tests whether Mexidol, a medication that may protect brain tissue, can help people recover better after an acute ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot). The study includes stroke patients and healthy volunteers to understand how the drug works and if it's safe.
ArkhangelskAges 18–90 - NCT06755944Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of XY03-EA tablets for recent stroke recovery
This trial tests whether XY03-EA tablets can help people recover after an acute ischemic stroke. Participants must have had a stroke within the last 48 hours and have moderate to severe symptoms but not be in a coma.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–80 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07392450RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TAK-755 for adults with acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests if TAK-755 can help people who have had a moderate to severe stroke within the last 24 hours. It aims to see if the drug can improve recovery by protecting brain tissue that is still salvageable.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07371624RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of B2065 for recent ischemic stroke
This trial tests an investigational drug called B2065 for people who have had a recent ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blockage in a blood vessel in the brain). The goal is to see if it is safe and if it might help improve recovery when given within 36 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07163299Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Cooling artery treatment with magnesium for stroke clot removal
This trial tests adding a cooled magnesium solution directly into the brain artery during standard clot removal to see if it helps limit brain damage and improve recovery. The magnesium and cooling aim to protect brain tissue while the clot is being taken out.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07756775Recruiting
Comparing two imaging tests for stroke diagnosis
This study compares two imaging methods, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without contrast dye and a carotid ultrasound (Doppler), to see which one is better at finding blocked arteries in the neck that can cause strokes. The results may help doctors choose the best test for people who have had a stroke or a mini-stroke.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07749170Recruiting
Stroke treatment for blockages in smaller brain arteries
This study looks at how well a special catheter system works to remove blood clots from smaller arteries in the brain after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment helps people recover better.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07001267Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for stroke procedure recovery
This trial tests whether a sedative given through an IV or a gas you breathe affects recovery after surgery to remove a blood clot in the brain. It may help find the best way to keep you comfortable during the procedure to improve how well you do after three months.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03571763Recruiting
Anti-clotting treatment study in stroke patients with small brain bleeds
This trial looks at how anti-clotting medicines affect small blood vessel bleeds in the brain (cerebral microbleeds) and larger bleeding in the skull after an ischemic stroke. It may help doctors choose safer prevention medicines for people who already have these small bleeds seen on brain MRI.
ShenyangAges 18 years+ - NCT03601702Recruiting
EmboTrap device for large stroke blockages
This trial studies whether a specific clot-removal device (EmboTrap II) works well for acute stroke caused by a large artery blockage. It may help restore blood flow faster in people who have certain scan patterns and can be treated within 12 hours.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07047326Recruiting
Urokinase for acute ischemic stroke within 6 hours
This trial tests whether the clot-busting drug urokinase can help people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot). The goal is to dissolve the clot and improve recovery, as long as treatment starts within 6 hours of the first symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04230785Recruiting
Blood RNA test during clot-busting treatment for stroke
This trial studies special molecules in the blood (non-coding RNA) in people having an acute ischemic stroke treated with a procedure to remove clots. It may help doctors better understand how the body responds and potentially improve future stroke care.

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.
