- NCT06843356Recruiting
Endovascular treatment for worsening mild stroke with basilar artery blockage
This trial tests a procedure to open a blocked artery in the back of the brain (basilar artery) for people who had a mild stroke that later got worse. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment up to 24 hours after your symptoms worsen.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05424978Recruiting
Standardized green-channel treatment for acute stroke care

Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–100 - NCT06534645Recruiting
STOP-stroke: Predicting recovery after a stroke
This study collects health data from people with a suspected stroke to improve predictions of recovery. Your participation helps researchers better understand how to treat strokes in the future.
ZurichAges Any age - NCT05281055Recruiting
Registry of clot-removal treatment for sudden large-vessel strokes
This study keeps a record of people treated with a clot-removal procedure (endovascular thrombectomy) for a sudden stroke caused by a blocked large blood vessel in the brain. It focuses on outcomes for patients who can be treated within 24 hours and were independent before the stroke.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05930145Recruiting
Two clot-retrievers versus one for acute stroke treatment
This trial compares using two clot-retrievers at the same time versus using just one to remove the clot in an acute ischemic stroke. It may help find a more effective approach to restore blood flow and improve recovery.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT07638462Recruiting
Early mobility recovery program after acute stroke
This study tests whether early movement and physical activity help stroke patients recover better mobility. You'd be in the hospital after a recent stroke, and the team would work with you on safe movement and exercises during your recovery.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07069452Recruiting
Predicting recovery after stroke with brain scan scores
This study looks at how well different scores from brain scans can predict recovery after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke and were treated with both clot-dissolving medicine and a clot removal procedure.
GonesseAges 18 years+ - NCT07356284RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke treatment study for blocked arteries with narrowing
This study tests a rescue treatment for people having a major stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain that also has severe narrowing. If doctors can't fully open the artery with standard clot removal, this study looks at whether additional treatments can help.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07419997Recruiting
Observational study on clot-busting drugs beyond the usual window
This study looks at patients who received a clot-busting drug (intravenous thrombolysis) for their stroke 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms started. It aims to see how well this works and what happens to them, using data that has already been collected.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07616622Enrolling by invitation
Recovery Methods for Upper Arm Weakness After Stroke
This study compares two physical therapy approaches—Roods (a sensory-based technique) and PNF (a stretching and strengthening method)—to help improve arm function in people recovering from their first stroke. Both methods aim to help you regain strength and control in your upper arm and hand.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT06755944Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of XY03-EA tablets for recent stroke recovery
This trial tests whether XY03-EA tablets can help people recover after an acute ischemic stroke. Participants must have had a stroke within the last 48 hours and have moderate to severe symptoms but not be in a coma.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–80 - NCT06763055RecruitingPhase 3
Study of two drugs for spontaneous brain bleed recovery
This trial compares two medicines (deferoxamine and colchicine) to see if they can prevent further brain damage after a spontaneous brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). The goal is to improve recovery by reducing inflammation and iron-related damage.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–80 - NCT04118790Recruiting
MRI study of brain microstructure after stroke
This study uses detailed brain MRI scans to learn how brain tissue changes after stroke or a TIA (a brief stroke-like event). It may help researchers better understand brain recovery and improve future care.
Copenhagen, København NVAges 18 years+ - NCT05247125RecruitingPhase 4
Testing light or melatonin to help brain recovery after stroke
This study looks at whether changing your sleep timing using light therapy or melatonin can improve “brain rewiring” after an ischemic stroke. It mainly focuses on people who arrive very soon after stroke symptoms and who also meet specific safety and sleep/medication requirements.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–80 - NCT06157502RecruitingPhase 3
Shuxuening with clot-busting treatment for ischemic stroke
This trial tests if adding the herbal injection Shuxuening to standard clot-busting treatment improves recovery for people having an ischemic stroke. It is for adults within 6 hours of symptom onset who are already receiving a clot-dissolving medication.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT06374667Recruiting
Skull bone injection vs. IV for large stroke
This trial tests a new way to give medicine for a large stroke on one side of the brain. The medicine is injected into the skull bone instead of through a vein, and researchers want to see if it works better and is safe.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT06622525Recruiting
Baking soda to prevent kidney damage from heatstroke
This trial tests if giving sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can protect the kidneys in people with severe heatstroke, which can cause muscle breakdown and kidney injury.
Mexicali, Estado de Baja CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06773364RecruitingPhase 3
Early levetiracetam and head position for stroke
This trial tests if starting a seizure medication called levetiracetam early in the ambulance, along with a specific head position, can help people having a stroke. It is for adults who show clear stroke signs within the last 2 hours and do not have other major health problems.
Suzhou, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07576166Recruiting
Breathing and Balance Training After Stroke
This study tests whether combining rhythmic breathing exercises with balance training can improve balance and trunk control in people recovering from stroke. You'll participate in structured exercises designed to help you regain stability and core strength.
Sargodha, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–65 - NCT06610994Recruiting
Vibration therapy for stroke recovery
This study tests if a short, local vibration treatment can help stroke patients with leg spasticity (tightness in the calf muscle) improve walking. If you have had a stroke and have mild to moderate spasticity in your lower leg, you may be able to join.
KirikkaleAges 45–75 - NCT05315726Recruiting
Vibration therapy to reduce stiffness after stroke
This trial studies whether regular muscle vibration can reduce post-stroke muscle stiffness and improve how the brain and nerves adapt. If you’re in the right stage after stroke, it may help improve arm and hand movement.
Chalon-sur-SaôneAges 18 years+ - NCT07405762Recruiting
Stroke recovery after blood clot removal: brain blood flow study
This trial looks at how blood flow and brain activity change in the first days after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the front part of the brain. It tests if certain patterns can help predict recovery after a procedure to remove the clot.
Xi'an, Shan'xiAges 18–85 - NCT04412187Recruiting
Study of inflammation after a new stroke
This study looks at inflammation-related changes soon after an acute ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help researchers understand what factors drive recovery and how they could be targeted in the future.
