RomeAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT04934787Recruiting

Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT06017960Recruiting
Dry needling for leg stiffness after stroke
This study checks if a treatment called dry needling (putting thin needles into tight muscles) can help reduce leg stiffness after a stroke. It uses ultrasound and muscle activity readings to see how well it works.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for post-stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 168 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.
