Recruiting studies
- NCT07053917RecruitingPhase 1
Psilocybin therapy for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether a medicine called psilocybin (a psychedelic compound) can help people who had a stroke more than a year ago. It aims to see if the therapy can improve healing and flexibility in the brain.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05300997Recruiting
Test blood and antibody markers for suspected acute stroke
This study looks at blood tests to find signs of immune activity after a suspected stroke. It may help doctors diagnose stroke faster and better understand what is happening in the body soon after symptoms start.
Hong KongAges 18–100 - NCT07828210RecruitingPhase 4
Mild to moderate stroke recovery study
This study tests a daily supplement called NeuroAiD to see if it helps people recover after a mild or moderate stroke. It looks at how well patients feel and function in their daily life during recovery.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18–80 - NCT06753006Recruiting
Research on stroke rehabilitation for arm weakness
This study tests a new rehabilitation program for people who have had a stroke within the last 6 months. It focuses on improving arm weakness using special therapy techniques.
Samara, Samara OblastAges 18–80 - NCT06728592Recruiting
Emergency stroke care for rapid treatment of ischemic stroke
This trial tests a dedicated emergency stroke unit that provides fast, coordinated care for people with acute ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may receive clot-busting medication or clot-removal treatment quickly to help reduce brain damage and improve recovery.
Hong KongAges 18–100 - NCT03318432Recruiting
Stroke recovery research registry for people with ongoing symptoms
This study is a registry that enrolls adults who have had a stroke and still have symptoms. It helps researchers learn about stroke recovery over time and may connect you to future stroke research studies.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04956185Recruiting
Collecting hospital data from people with stroke
This study collects information from people admitted to the stroke care team or neurology during their hospital stay. It may help improve stroke care by understanding patient conditions and hospital experiences.
Ghent, FlandersAges Any age - NCT07224178Recruiting
Heart strain and stroke of unknown cause
This study looks at how well the left side of the heart pumps (called strain) in people who had a stroke without a known cause. It aims to see if this heart measurement can help predict future strokes or heart rhythm problems like atrial fibrillation.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06765642Recruiting
Brain stimulation for hand strength after stroke
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called rTMS) can improve hand strength and movement in people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The treatment is delivered through a coil placed on the scalp and does not require surgery.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT06569121Recruiting
Telehealth weight-loss program for stroke survivors
This trial tests a 12-week telehealth group program to help people who have had a stroke lose weight and live healthier. You'll join video group meetings with a coach and other stroke survivors to learn about eating well and being active.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT06332989Recruiting
Improving stroke triage by ambulance paramedics
This trial tests a new way for paramedics to quickly identify and prioritize stroke patients before they reach the hospital, which could help get you the right treatment faster.
LeidenAges 18 years+ - NCT07649135Recruiting
Remote Step-Counting Program for Stroke Recovery
This study tests whether a remote (at-home) program that tracks your daily steps and includes support from someone you know can help you become more physically active after a stroke. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical and if it helps people who had a stroke 6+ months ago move more.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07635498Recruiting
Virtual versus in-person care after stroke
This study compares two ways of caring for stroke patients who aren't candidates for emergency clot-removal surgery. Half will receive care through a virtual stroke unit (telemedicine), and half will receive traditional in-person care at the hospital. The goal is to see if both approaches work equally well for recovery and safety.
SevilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07627399Recruiting
Best Care Practices for Stroke in Regular Hospital Units
This study tests whether following best-practice guidelines for stroke care in regular hospital units (rather than specialized stroke centers) helps patients recover better. Researchers will track how well patients do when they receive standardized stroke care protocols.
Antequera, MálagaAges 18 years+ - NCT07491744Enrolling by invitation
Stroke and TIA study on heart and blood vessel health
This study looks at the causes of stroke and TIA by doing extra tests on patients admitted to the hospital. It aims to better understand and prevent future heart and blood vessel problems.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07469163RecruitingPhase 1
Walking on a split-belt treadmill after stroke
This study tests different amounts of walking on a special treadmill that moves each leg at a different speed. It may help people recovering from a first stroke to improve their walking.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07237048RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Minocycline for stroke recovery
This trial tests if the antibiotic minocycline can help people recovering from a stroke. It is for adults who have had a stroke within the last 24 hours and have moderate symptoms based on a standard stroke scale.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07236216Recruiting
Brain stimulation with walking training for stroke recovery
This study tests if combining brain stimulation (tES) with a walking training program can improve thinking, movement, and brain activity in stroke survivors. You may benefit if you have some walking ability and no major health risks.
Nakhon PathomAges 18–80 - NCT06922409Recruiting
Light therapy for stroke recovery in rehabilitation
This trial tests whether exposure to naturalistic light can help reduce fatigue and depression after a stroke. It is designed for patients in a rehabilitation unit who are able to communicate and cooperate with simple physical exams.
Glostrup Municipality, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07113041Recruiting
Brain stimulation and robot balance training after stroke
This study tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation (TMS) to robot-assisted balance training helps improve balance after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have trouble with balance.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT07019493Recruiting
Young stroke recovery study for ages 18 to 55
This study looks at how young adults recover from a stroke. Researchers want to learn more about what helps recovery in the first few months after a stroke.
Heidelberg, VictoriaAges 18–55 - NCT05179473Recruiting
Predict and diagnose stiffness after a recent stroke
This study looks at how to predict and measure spasticity (muscle stiffness and tightness) in people after a recent stroke. It may help clinicians better diagnose and understand what to expect as you recover.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–85 - NCT06878066RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting treatment after stroke while on Factor Xa inhibitor
This trial tests a clot-busting drug (thrombolysis) for people who had a stroke while on a Factor Xa inhibitor blood thinner. It aims to see if the drug can still safely break up the clot and reduce disability.
Aalborg, AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06404242Recruiting
Plaque features predict repeat stroke after middle cerebral artery blockage
This study looks at people who recently had a stroke caused by hardening of the arteries in the middle cerebral artery, a major blood vessel in the brain. The researchers use special MRI scans to see if the plaque (the fatty buildup) can predict whether another stroke might happen.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,681 recruiting 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 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 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.
