- NCT05911568Recruiting
Clot-removal treatment for stroke patients with existing disability
This trial studies whether an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure to treat a certain type of blocked artery can improve outcomes for people who already had trouble functioning before their stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is confirmed early and your scans show the right type and location of blockage.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05922540Recruiting
Study of ischemic stroke to improve patient care
This study looks at people who have had an ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blocked blood vessel). It is collecting information over time to better understand care needs and follow-up after stroke.
HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT05930145Recruiting
Two clot-retrievers versus one for acute stroke treatment
This trial compares using two clot-retrievers at the same time versus using just one to remove the clot in an acute ischemic stroke. It may help find a more effective approach to restore blood flow and improve recovery.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT05948566RecruitingPhase 2
Improving response to stroke treatment with an antibody drug
This Phase 2 trial tests an antibody treatment (TS23) given to people with a suspected acute ischemic stroke to improve how well they respond to stroke care. You may qualify if your stroke scan shows the right pattern of injured brain tissue and if the study drug can be given within a short time window after symptoms start.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05955326RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a stroke drug to improve recovery after ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether sovateltide is safe and can improve recovery in people with an acute ischemic stroke. It focuses on patients who start the study drug within 24 hours of symptom onset and do not have bleeding in the brain.
Guntur, Andhra PradeshAges 18–78 - NCT05961748Recruiting
Brain and heart illness registry for adults in China
This study is a registry that collects health information from adults who have certain new heart and/or brain conditions. It may help researchers understand how these problems occur together and improve future care planning.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05963698Recruiting
Closing off a heart pouch to prevent stroke
This study tests a procedure that seals off the left atrial appendage (a small heart pouch) to help prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. You may be considered if your stroke risk is high and you are already on blood-thinner medicine.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05971446Recruiting
Healthy Little Eyes study for newborn vision and brain health
This study looks at eye and vision outcomes in babies who have had lack of oxygen around birth (HIE) and also compares them with healthy “well babies.” It may help doctors better understand how HIE affects the eyes and what to watch for over time.
Madison, WisconsinAges Up to 3 years - NCT05974111Recruiting
Blood and clotting tests after certain types of stroke
This hospital study looks at blood and clotting (coagulation) measurements in people who arrive with specific types of stroke or brain bleeding not caused by injury. It may help doctors better understand clotting changes after these events and improve care decisions.
GenkAges 18 years+ - NCT05983757Recruiting
Clot retrieval for smaller brain artery strokes
This trial tests if removing clots from smaller arteries in the brain (not the main ones) helps people who had a stroke and can't get standard clot-busting medicine. It compares clot removal to usual care for strokes caused by these medium-sized vessel blockages.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06001073Recruiting
Heart and brain disease health prediction study
This study uses advanced health data to predict how heart and brain conditions may progress. It aims to help doctors provide better care for people with these diseases.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 3–80 - NCT06000943Recruiting
Bleeding and clot risk after heart valve procedure
This study looks at patients who had a TAVR procedure (a new valve put in the heart) to understand their risk of bleeding or clots over the next year. It tracks changes in blood thinner medications at 1 month, 90 days, and 1 year to help doctors personalize care.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06001736Recruiting
Nerve transfer surgery for arm weakness after stroke
This study tests a surgery called CC7 transfer, where a nerve from your healthy side is moved to help your weaker arm. It is for people whose arm has stopped getting better after a stroke and still has significant weakness.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18–65 - NCT06002932Recruiting
Comparing one-stent with drug balloon vs. two-stents for heart artery branches
This study compares two ways to treat a narrowed heart artery where a smaller branch vessel is also blocked. One approach uses a drug-coated balloon on the side branch, while the other places a second stent. The goal is to see which method works better for patients like you.
Suwon, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - 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 - NCT06014723Recruiting
Balloon angioplasty for recent minor stroke or TIA
This study tests a balloon procedure to open a narrowed artery in the brain to prevent further strokes. It is for people who recently had a mild stroke or high-risk TIA from a significant blockage.
Changchun, JilinAges 30–80 - NCT06027294Recruiting
Blood flow and muscle function study for stroke survivors
This study looks at how blood flow affects muscle function after a stroke. It may help researchers understand recovery better and find new ways to improve movement.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–85 - NCT06027788Recruiting
Embolic protection during heart valve surgery
This trial tests a device that may help protect your brain from small particles during heart valve surgery. It is for people 60 and older having certain types of valve replacement or repair.
North Little Rock, ArkansasAges 60 years+ - NCT06029491Recruiting
Studying a new suction device for stroke treatment
This trial tests a new device that removes blood clots in the brain using suction. It is for people having a large-vessel ischemic stroke who can be treated within 8 hours of symptoms starting.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06047028Recruiting
Heart MRI scan to assess tissue health
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at heart muscle metabolism in people with heart failure caused by blocked arteries. It may help doctors better understand which heart tissue is still alive and could recover.
Dallas, TexasAges 20–80 - NCT06047782Recruiting
MRI study of atrial scarring and stroke risk
This study uses a special heart MRI to look for scarring in the upper chambers of the heart (atria) that might cause hidden atrial fibrillation after a stroke with no known cause. It may help explain why the stroke happened and guide future treatment.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06047717Recruiting
Virtual reality navigation study for stroke survivors
This study uses virtual reality to understand how vision loss from a stroke affects navigation. You may help researchers learn more by wearing a VR headset and doing simple tasks.

Raising blood pressure for worsening small artery strokes
This trial tests if raising blood pressure slightly with a low dose of a medicine called norepinephrine can help people whose stroke symptoms are getting worse. It focuses on small, deep brain artery strokes and aims to improve recovery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ischemic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 832 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.
