Ankang, ShaanxiAges 40 years+ - NCT07420374Recruiting
Outpatient stroke care for older patients
This study tests whether older people with minor strokes or warning signs can be safely treated at home or in an outpatient clinic instead of staying in the hospital. It may be a good fit if you recently had a mild stroke and do not need complex medical care.
HeidelbergAges 60 years+ - NCT07143149Recruiting
Smart tool for cholesterol after stroke or mini-stroke
This trial tests a smart computer tool that helps doctors manage your cholesterol treatment with Evolocumab (Repatha). If you have had a recent stroke or mini-stroke and are already taking this medicine, the tool may help you reach your LDL (bad cholesterol) goal faster.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05424978Recruiting
Standardized green-channel treatment for acute stroke care
This study tests a structured, fast way of treating people who have a new ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help because it focuses on getting the right stroke treatments quickly and consistently.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–100 - NCT04534556Enrolling by invitation
Wireless nerve stimulation to improve stroke recovery
This study tests a wireless nerve stimulation device placed near the vagus nerve to help people recover after a stroke. It focuses on people with specific remaining arm/hand movement and recovery levels at least 12 months after stroke.
Dallas, TexasAges 22–79 - NCT04839887Recruiting
Quality of life after stroke in adults aged 18–65
This trial looks at what affects quality of life after an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) in younger adults. You may be able to join if you can complete questionnaires about your recovery and daily life.
OlomoucAges 18–65 - NCT07599904Recruiting
Real-world study of Medtronic stroke treatment devices
This registry tracks how Medtronic's FDA-approved devices work in treating acute ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot) in everyday clinical practice. Researchers collect information to understand device safety and effectiveness outside of formal clinical trials.
Flint, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06386874Recruiting
Magnetic field therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a new magnetic device applied to the head to help improve arm function after a stroke. You will use the device while doing exercises, and a caregiver will support you with a mobile app and video calls.

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.
