Recruiting studies
- NCT04219670Recruiting
Using sensors to study stroke recovery in hospital and community

MRI study of brain vein damage and swelling patterns
This pilot study uses an MRI scan that involves an injected contrast to look at how brain blood-flow pathways are being blocked or narrowed. The goal is to better understand the kind of damage caused by these vein problems, which may help doctors monitor and plan care.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05013736Recruiting
Study to test recovery in babies with brain injury
This study looks at how well babies recover after certain types of brain injuries that happen around birth, such as stroke, bleeding, or lack of oxygen. You might join if your baby fits the specific age range and has a confirmed injury on brain imaging.
Madison, WisconsinAges birth–2 years - NCT05033028RecruitingPhase 3
Using a smartphone to support opioid addiction recovery
This Phase 3 study tests whether using smartphones can help people with opioid-use disorder stick with treatment and recover more successfully. It focuses on people starting or already in treatment using methadone or buprenorphine, with support delivered through the study app or messages.
Piscataway, New JerseyAges 18–85 - NCT04989894Recruiting

SingaporeAges 21–50 - NCT04448938Recruiting
MRI study for optic neuritis recovery signals
This study uses a special MRI scan while you rest to look for brain and eye signals that may relate to recovery in people with suspected optic neuritis. If you’re eligible, it may help researchers better understand what predicts vision improvement.
Paris, PARISAges 18 years+ - NCT04916210Recruiting
Study how stroke type affects thinking and recovery
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03753412Recruiting
Rehab program for adults after ICU recovery on ECMO
This trial looks at a recovery and rehabilitation approach for adults who were very sick and needed a machine called ECMO to support breathing and heart function. It may help people regain strength and function after a severe ICU illness.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT04824066Recruiting
Using wearables to spot complications early
This study checks whether common wearable devices can predict or detect problems after treatment or surgery. If you join, the researchers will compare what the wearable shows with what happens to you medically, to see if earlier warnings are possible.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04783168Recruiting
Using a step-tracking device to improve recovery after lung surgery
This study tests whether tracking daily steps with a wearable and app can help people recover better after lung surgery (especially a lobectomy). You may be asked to wear a device and follow a recovery plan while your activity is monitored.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04731519Recruiting
Group treatment to help Veterans after a recent suicidal crisis
This trial studies a “recovery-oriented” group therapy for Veterans who had a suicide attempt or started planning within the last year. It aims to help reduce risk and improve coping and recovery after a post-acute suicidal episode.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04755699RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Electrical stimulation study for hand or limb movement recovery
This early-stage study tests whether regular, skin-based electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis or weakness regain movement. You would attend frequent clinic sessions for months, while the team checks your ability to follow instructions and your safety.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT04712591Recruiting
Testing a recovery approach for people with severe brain injury
This study is testing a recovery strategy for adults who are in intensive care after a severe brain injury and are not able to follow commands. It may help doctors learn better ways to support recovery in this critical situation.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04589819Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Teriparatide for tibia stress fracture recovery for duty
This trial tests teriparatide, a medication that helps build bone, to see if it can speed recovery and help certain enlisted Army members return to training duty after a tibia bone injury. You may be asked to self-administer the medication while you recover and take part in study follow-ups.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges Any age - NCT04543253Recruiting
Recovery study after Cushing surgery for cortisol excess
This study looks at how people recover after surgery to treat Cushing syndrome and mild cortisol overproduction. It may help doctors understand what recovery looks like and how treatment affects cortisol levels and symptoms.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04534556Enrolling by invitation
Wireless nerve stimulation to improve stroke recovery
This study tests a wireless nerve stimulation device placed near the vagus nerve to help people recover after a stroke. It focuses on people with specific remaining arm/hand movement and recovery levels at least 12 months after stroke.
Dallas, TexasAges 22–79 - NCT04445649Recruiting
Find factors to help people regain consciousness after brain injury
This study looks at what predicts recovery of consciousness after certain serious brain injuries, such as stroke or traumatic brain injury. It may help clinicians better identify which patients are more likely to wake up and guide early rehabilitation and care.
Hessisch OldendorfAges 18–85 - NCT04312269Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus memory practice to improve stroke arm recovery
This trial tests whether a combined therapy—MyoCI plus memory “reactivation”—can improve arm movement recovery after stroke. It’s meant for people with ongoing arm weakness at least 6 months after their first stroke.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 21–100 - 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 - NCT03907046RecruitingPhase 3
Blood thinner study to prevent stroke after brain bleed
This Phase 3 study tests whether a blood thinner (apixaban) can help prevent another stroke and support recovery after you’ve had a brain bleed. You would be assigned to a treatment group, and the study checks safety and whether strokes can be reduced without causing dangerous bleeding.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03990558Recruiting
Testing ways to improve waking after a brain bleed

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for recovery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 700 recruiting recovery 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 recovery 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 recovery 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.
