Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT04144972Recruiting

This trial tests a “smart” deep brain stimulation device that senses your brain signals and adjusts treatment to reduce severe, long-lasting pain. It may help people whose pain has not improved with multiple pain medicines and surgery cannot fix the cause.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 22–80 - 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.

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 - NCT05878002Recruiting
Tests thinking, movement, and sleep after clot removal stroke
This study looks at thinking skills, body movement, and sleep patterns in adults after a specific type of stroke treated with a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors better understand what changes happen after treatment and how to measure them.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07510633Recruiting
Mobile brain/body imaging for robotic gait rehab after stroke
This trial uses a mobile brain and body imaging system to help improve walking with a robotic exoskeleton in people who have had a stroke. It could help you walk better during overground gait training.
Costa Masnaga, LeccoAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06887855Recruiting
Swallowing therapy for recent stroke patients
This trial tests two new exercises for people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. If you had a stroke within the last six months and haven't tried swallowing therapy before, this may help you regain strength in your throat muscles.
Doha, Baladiyat ad DawhahAges 18–75 - NCT06892886Recruiting
Virtual reality for arm rehab after stroke
This trial tests if immersive virtual reality can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. If you had a first stroke within the last month and still have arm weakness, this might be an option.
FerraraAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT07156955Recruiting
Arm movement training after stroke
This trial tests a training program that uses your sense of arm position to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help if you have trouble feeling where your arm is in space.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07153536Recruiting
Spinal stimulation and therapy for arm weakness after stroke
This trial tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have significant weakness in one arm.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 22–70 - NCT06541015Recruiting
TENS for improving walking after stroke
This study tests whether a small electrical device (TENS) can help stroke survivors walk better. You will receive TENS or placebo while walking on a treadmill, and the researchers will measure how your muscles respond.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT05479006Recruiting
tDCS for arm weakness after stroke
This trial tests whether a targeted, noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve arm weakness and movement after stroke. It may help people who have significant trouble moving one arm on the side affected by stroke.
Urbana, IllinoisAges 18–90 - 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 - NCT04188522Recruiting
MEG study of memory after a small stroke
This study uses a special brain scan called MEG to understand how thinking and memory change after a small ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may get scanned about 4–6 weeks after your stroke and help researchers learn what brain signals relate to recovery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07651306Recruiting
Bone Loss After Stroke: New X-ray Detection Method
This study tests whether a new way of measuring X-rays can detect bone loss in the shoulder after a stroke. The research may help doctors identify patients at risk for fractures earlier.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07023770Recruiting
Robot-assisted exercises for recovery after stroke
This trial tests a rehabilitation program that uses a walking robot (exoskeleton) to help people who have had a stroke on the right side of the brain and have trouble leaning or moving to one side. The goal is to improve balance and movement during recovery.
ÉchirollesAges 18–84 - 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 - NCT04934787Recruiting
Balance-feedback ankle rehab after stroke
This trial tests an ankle-foot exercise and training program that gives you balance feedback to improve walking after stroke. It may help reduce foot drop and improve balance and safe walking.
Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT07798401RecruitingPhase 2
Tongue training device for swallowing problems after stroke
This study tests a special tongue-training device that gives you feedback to help improve swallowing after a stroke or similar condition. It uses a computer and a small sensor in your mouth to guide your exercises.
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07073989Recruiting
Can gentle nerve stimulation help stroke survivors move better?
This study tests how a gentle electrical stimulation of the arm might improve your sense of position and movement after a stroke. It compares stroke survivors to healthy volunteers to see if this treatment helps your brain reconnect with your arm.
Móstoles, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05653141Recruiting
Study for thinking problems after a first stroke
This trial looks at treatments or approaches to improve thinking and memory problems after a first stroke. You may be eligible if your stroke was in the front part of the brain, confirmed by MRI, and you enroll within 10 days.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for post-stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 169 recruiting post-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 post-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 post-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.
