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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT04824482Recruiting
Robot training to improve walking after a recent stroke
This study tests a robot-assisted walking program for people recovering after an acute ischemic stroke. It aims to improve how safely and independently you can walk during recovery.
OlomoucAges 18–80 - NCT07693816Recruiting
Finding stroke caused by small artery disease
This study looks at whether your stroke was caused by branch atheromatous disease (BAD), a type of small artery blockage. Knowing this may help choose the best treatment and prevention plan.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07575984RecruitingPhase 4
Mexidol Safety and Efficacy for Acute Ischemic Stroke
This trial tests whether Mexidol, a medication that may protect brain tissue, can help people recover better after an acute ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot). The study includes stroke patients and healthy volunteers to understand how the drug works and if it's safe.
ArkhangelskAges 18–90 - NCT03356392Recruiting
Registry for stroke patients getting clot-busting treatment
This study records information from adults with an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked artery) who receive clot-busting medicine within 4.5 hours. It may help doctors better understand which patients benefit from treatment and how care decisions are made for certain blocked brain arteries.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07406971RecruitingPhase 2
Capsaicin nose spray for acute stroke
This trial tests a capsaicin spray applied inside the nose to stimulate a nerve cluster behind the nose, which may help improve blood flow in people having a moderate to severe stroke within the last 24 hours.
Aguascalientes, AguascalientesAges 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 - NCT07367100Recruiting
Testing a new clot-removal catheter for stroke
This study tests a special catheter (a thin tube) designed to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain during a stroke. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow.
EdegemAges 18–90 - 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.
Munich, GermanyAges 50 years+ - NCT07096687Recruiting
Cooling treatment for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether lowering body temperature (targeted temperature management) can help people who have had a stroke within the last 48 hours. It focuses on strokes caused by a blockage in a specific part of the brain's blood supply, and aims to see if cooling can reduce brain damage.
