Recruiting studies
- NCT05864547Recruiting
Study risk factors for seizures after a first stroke
This study looks at what factors can make seizures happen after a first stroke. It may help doctors identify who is more at risk so future care can be better targeted.
TrondheimAges 18–85 - NCT05303649Recruiting
Theta burst brain stimulation for language problems after stroke
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation guided by a brain scan (MRI) can improve speech and language (“aphasia”) after a stroke. It may help people who have trouble producing speech but can still understand others’ words.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–75 - NCT05194566Recruiting
Brain stimulation for long-term speech trouble after stroke
This study tests whether a form of brain stimulation can improve naming words in people who still have language problems (aphasia) more than 6 months after a stroke. It may help people find and say words more accurately during a naming task.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT05195398Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve thinking after stroke
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT04804384Recruiting
Testing a brain-controlled hand device after a stroke
This study tests whether a “closed-loop” neuroprosthesis (a hand-control device that responds to your movement) can improve hand grasping after a stroke. It may help people who cannot open or grab objects on their own, and who can safely participate during a short hospital stay.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT04432883Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve speech after stroke aphasia
This trial tests whether targeted mild brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve speech therapy results for people with long-lasting (chronic) aphasia after a stroke. It may help strengthen naming and communication when added to standard speech-language treatment.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 25–85 - NCT04433351Recruiting
Rehab training to improve speech after stroke in French speakers
This trial studies a sensory-and-movement training approach to help people relearn speech after stroke-related language difficulties. It may help if your type of post-stroke aphasia is mainly non-fluent and you can safely complete brain scans.
GrenobleAges 55–75 - NCT03317860Recruiting
Improving care for neglect after stroke
This study tests better ways to measure and treat a condition called neglect, where stroke survivors ignore one side of their world. It may help you regain more use of your arm if you have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have some arm movement but still find it hard to pay attention to one side.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07874594Recruiting
Brain training to improve sleep after a first stroke
This study tests a treatment that may help reduce brain inflammation and improve sleep in people who have had a first stroke and now have trouble sleeping. It uses a non-invasive technique called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief, repeated cycles of a blood pressure cuff on the arm.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07428811Recruiting
Mirror therapy for post-stroke shoulder and hand problems
This trial tests whether task-based mirror therapy can help improve shoulder and hand function in people who have had a stroke less than 6 months ago. It focuses on those with moderate to severe stroke symptoms but without severe muscle stiffness or cognitive issues.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–75 - NCT07231172Recruiting
Fatigue after stroke and its link to clinical factors
This study examines how fatigue affects people who have had a stroke, looking at physical and mental health factors. It may help understand why some people feel more tired than others after a stroke.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06057584Recruiting
Sensory and motor training for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a special training program that combines touch and movement exercises to help people who have had a stroke improve the use of their affected arm and hand. It is designed for those who still have some movement but also have trouble with sensation.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT06837311Recruiting
Smoking cessation after stroke via smartphone monitoring
This study tests a smartphone-based program that helps people who recently had a stroke quit smoking. It uses digital monitoring and support as part of your regular post-stroke follow-up to lower the risk of another stroke.
BordeauxAges 18–80 - NCT05328401Recruiting
Laser acupuncture for shoulder pain after stroke
This trial tests whether laser acupuncture can reduce shoulder pain in people recovering from a stroke. It compares outcomes while making sure participants are not using certain pain medicines or shoulder injections that could affect results.
Keelung, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT05507138RecruitingPhase 2
Digital therapy for depression and thinking problems after stroke
This Phase 2 trial tests a smartphone/tablet-based program to improve post-stroke depression and executive thinking skills (like planning and attention). It may help if you have ongoing depressive symptoms and thinking/executive difficulties at least 6 months after your first stroke.
New York, New YorkAges 50–79 - NCT07445841Recruiting
Exercise to protect the brain after a first stroke
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent thinking and memory problems after a first stroke. It might help you keep your brain healthy if you join within the first six months after your stroke.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 40–80 - NCT07035730Recruiting
Walking recovery after stroke using a robotic hip exoskeleton
This study tests a robotic device (SHAJA-R exoskeleton) that helps move your hips during walking. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and still have some trouble walking, but can walk a little with or without help.
Costa Masnaga, ItalyAges 18–80 - NCT06191549Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve walking after stroke
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment can help improve walking ability in people who have had a stroke. It compares the effects of the treatment in stroke survivors and healthy adults to see if it can enhance recovery.
Galveston, TexasAges 21–90 - NCT04142866Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus language practice for chronic aphasia
This study tests whether mild brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with language exercises can improve communication after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to help compare brain and language task results.
New York, New YorkAges 21–80 - NCT06946082Recruiting
Stroke study: arm and language skills in Turkish speakers
This study looks at how arm movement, body control, and mental imagery (imagining movement without actually doing it) relate to Turkish language abilities after a stroke. It aims to understand how these functions work together to help recovery.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT04375722Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for language problems after stroke
This trial tests whether gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation (tACS) can improve speech and language (aphasia) after stroke. You may be asked to do language and thinking tests before and after the stimulation to see if it helps.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–85 - NCT06940635Recruiting
Hand therapy for stroke: may help speech and swallowing
This study tests whether a special hand therapy using brain-computer interface and electrical stimulation can also help improve speech and swallowing problems after a stroke. You may be eligible if you're at least 3 months past your stroke, have some arm weakness, and have aphasia or dysphagia.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for post-stroke aphasia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 70 recruiting post-stroke aphasia 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 post-stroke aphasia 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 post-stroke aphasia 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.
