Recruiting studies
- NCT07298122Recruiting
Heart imaging for hidden clots in ESUS stroke with left ventricular disease
This study uses advanced heart scans (MRI or CT) to look for blood clots in the heart of people who had a stroke with an unclear cause, specifically if they also have a mild heart condition affecting the left ventricle. The goal is to find hidden clots that might be causing strokes.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07302854RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Clot-busting medicine for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new clot-busting medicine called tenecteplase, given directly into the blood vessel in the brain, to treat strokes caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. The goal is to see if it can help restore blood flow and reduce disability, especially for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of stroke onset.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 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 - NCT06186973Recruiting
Fetal and newborn heart assessment during labor
This study checks how well a baby's heart works during labor and right after birth. It uses a special monitor (CTG with STAN) to see if the baby's heart responds normally to the stress of labor.
OsloAges birth–1 hour - NCT06877195Recruiting
Vein graft support mesh for bypass surgery
This trial tests a mesh wrap that supports the vein grafts used in bypass surgery. It may help those grafts stay open longer, especially for the right side of the heart.
Roma, RomaAges Any age - NCT07282041RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
A study on dulaglutide for brain artery narrowing after stroke
This trial tests if a once-weekly injection called dulaglutide (Trulicity) helps people with severe narrowing of a major brain artery after a minor stroke or TIA. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of another stroke.
SingaporeAges 21–80 - NCT07275749RecruitingPhase 3
Acetyl-leucine for balance problems after a stroke
This trial tests if acetyl-leucine can help improve walking and balance in people who had a specific type of stroke in the back part of the brain. You may qualify if you had your first stroke there and have trouble with balance or walking.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–80 - NCT07265349RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cells plus bypass surgery for chronic heart failure
This trial tests whether injecting stem cells from umbilical cord tissue into the heart muscle during bypass surgery can improve heart function in people with chronic heart failure. It is for patients who are already scheduled for bypass surgery and have a weakened heart pump (LVEF between 21% and 40%).
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT07266662Recruiting
Sensory aids and brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This study tests if adding sensory aids or brain stimulation can improve arm and hand movement for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It may help if you have some movement but not full use of your arm.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–56 - NCT07268170Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Heart rate control before heart CT scan
This trial tests two medicines to lower heart rate before a cardiac CT scan in adults who need the scan. It is for people whose heart rate is naturally a bit fast (over 65 beats per minute) but not too fast (under 100 bpm).
HerningAges 30–80 - NCT06715007Recruiting
Study on blood thinners and artery health for small vessel stroke
This study tests whether a combination of antiplatelet drugs and artery-stabilizing medication can improve recovery after a small stroke caused by damage to tiny blood vessels in the brain. It may help prevent further strokes and support healing.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 30–79 - NCT07253181RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke clot-busting drug before transfer for artery clearing
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) before transferring you to a hospital that can do a procedure to remove the clot improves outcomes for people who had a stroke up to 24 hours earlier. You may qualify if you have a blockage in a large artery in the front of your brain and can still get the procedure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - 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.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07244952Recruiting
Vojta therapy for posture and trunk control after stroke
This trial tests a type of movement therapy called Vojta Therapy to see if it helps improve posture and trunk control after a stroke. It is for people who had their first stroke within the past 3 months and have significant weakness on one side of the body.
LahoreAges 45–65 - NCT07240441Recruiting
Comparing heart ablation methods for post-heart attack VT
This trial tests two ways to do a heart procedure (ablation) in people who have had a heart attack and now have dangerous fast heart rhythms. It compares the usual method (inside the heart only) with a method that also works on the outer surface of the heart. The goal is to see which works better to stop these rhythms.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–85 - NCT06906432Recruiting
Brain-Heart Injury After Brain Bleed Study
This study looks at how a brain bleed can affect the heart. Researchers hope to understand the link between brain and heart injury to help improve care for people who have had a brain bleed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05996120Recruiting
Finding the best temperature during heart-lung machine surgery
This study looks at the best body temperature to use during heart surgery when a heart-lung machine is needed. You may be able to join if you are having bypass surgery or valve repair, your risk score is moderate or higher, and your surgery is not an emergency.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT07236216Recruiting
Brain stimulation with walking training for stroke recovery
This study tests if combining brain stimulation (tES) with a walking training program can improve thinking, movement, and brain activity in stroke survivors. You may benefit if you have some walking ability and no major health risks.
Nakhon PathomAges 18–80 - NCT07231380Recruiting
Comparing two ways to remove clots in stroke
This study tests two methods of removing a large blood clot from a brain artery during stroke. The goal is to see which method helps restore blood flow faster and more safely.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05199662RecruitingPhase 3
IV clot-busting medicine for stroke when standard options don’t fit
This trial tests whether giving IV TNK (tenecteplase) plus standard stroke care can improve outcomes in some people who have a new stroke but cannot get alteplase (another clot-busting drug) and do not have a large blocked artery that can be treated with a procedure. It’s meant for strokes with “mismatch” findings on scans that suggest salvageable brain tissue.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT06735898Recruiting
A combined therapy for recovery after intensive care
This trial tests a combination of CYTOFLAVIN (given as an IV and later as a pill) to help people with long-term symptoms after spending time in the ICU. It aims to improve muscle weakness, breathing, swallowing, and energy levels during later stages of rehabilitation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ischemic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 814 recruiting ischemic 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 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 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.
