Recruiting studies
- NCT05967728Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing remote arm conditioning to protect the brain in stroke

TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07598487Enrolling by invitation
Physical Therapy Techniques for Stroke Recovery and Balance
This study compares two types of physical therapy to help people regain trunk control and balance after a stroke. Participants will receive either PNF (a hands-on technique using rhythmic movements) or NDT (another hands-on technique focusing on movement patterns) to improve stability.
Faisalabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–65 - NCT06727006Recruiting
Rescue stenting and clot-dissolving medicine for severe stroke
This trial tests whether using a stent plus a clot-dissolving drug can improve outcomes for people with a large-vessel stroke who are having a procedure to remove the clot. It is designed for patients who can receive treatment within 24 hours of their first symptoms.
Bergamo, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT05697575Recruiting
Staphylokinase during stroke blood-flow treatment
This trial studies using a medication called non-immunogenic staphylokinase as part of standard clot-busting treatment for an acute ischemic stroke. It may help clinicians improve blood flow after the stroke using an approach designed to be less likely to trigger immune reactions.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–85 - NCT06457217Recruiting
MRSI for minor stroke with large artery blockage
This study uses a special MRI technique (called MRSI) to look at brain chemistry in people who have had a minor stroke due to a blocked large artery. The goal is to see if the scan can help doctors better understand the stroke and guide treatment decisions.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT06653946RecruitingPhase 4
Predicting bleeding after stroke treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation
This trial looks at why some patients with a first-time stroke caused by atrial fibrillation experience bleeding in the brain after receiving clot-busting medication. It aims to find factors that predict this bleeding, which could help doctors choose safer treatments in the future.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–75 - NCT07475949RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke treatment for unknown wake-up time
This trial tests a clot-busting drug for people who had a stroke but don't know when it started, like waking up with symptoms. It may help reduce disability if given soon after noticing symptoms.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07445204Enrolling by invitation
Electrical stimulation for swallowing after stroke
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation technique on neck muscles can help improve swallowing in people who recently had a stroke. It may be a good option if you are still having trouble swallowing after your stroke.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07283159RecruitingPhase 2
Tenecteplase plus a second drug for stroke recovery
This study tests whether giving a second drug (urinary kallidinogenase) after the clot-busting drug tenecteplase can help people with moderate to severe ischemic strokes recover better. It is for patients who started treatment within 4.5 hours of symptoms.
ShenyangAges 18 years+ - NCT07232498Recruiting
Early ultrasound-guided movement after a stroke
This trial tests if starting supervised mobility early (within 48 hours) using Doppler ultrasound to guide care can help recovery in adults who just had a stroke caused by a clot. It may help you avoid complications and regain function sooner.
RijekaAges 18 years+ - NCT05410457Recruiting
Study different treatments after ischemic stroke
This trial looks at which treatment approach after an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) may lead to better outcomes. It may help doctors better choose treatments that improve recovery and prognosis.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT03545477Recruiting
Curved walking training for stroke, Parkinson's and hip fracture recovery
This study tests whether practicing walking in curved paths can help people recovering from a stroke, Parkinson's disease, or a recent hip fracture improve their balance and mobility. If you have one of these conditions and are in a rehabilitation program, this training might make everyday walking easier.
Lissone, Monza E BrianzaAges 18–90 - NCT06633809Recruiting
Treating minor stroke with large artery blockage
This study tests whether a specific treatment (likely endovascular therapy) helps people who have a minor stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment within 24 hours of your stroke to try to improve your recovery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07609966Recruiting
Virtual Reality for Stroke Arm Recovery
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises help stroke patients recover arm and hand movement faster and better. You'd use VR games alongside your regular rehabilitation therapy in the hospital and after going home.
GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT07534319Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow Changes After Stroke Clot Removal
This study examines how blood flow in the brain changes after a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot during an acute stroke. The research uses MRI imaging to understand brain recovery patterns and may help improve stroke treatment outcomes.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07302854RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Clot-busting medicine for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new clot-busting medicine called tenecteplase, given directly into the blood vessel in the brain, to treat strokes caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. The goal is to see if it can help restore blood flow and reduce disability, especially for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of stroke onset.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06941961Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy after stroke clot removal
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can help people recover motor function after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for patients who had the clot removed successfully with a procedure within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–85 - NCT07092709RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for stroke patients who recently took blood thinners
This trial tests if the clot-busting drug tenecteplase is safe and effective for people having an ischemic stroke who have recently taken blood thinners (DOACs). If you qualify, you may receive either tenecteplase or a placebo within 24 hours of your last known well time.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06924996Enrolling by invitation
Thrombectomy for large stroke in back of the brain
This trial is testing whether a clot removal procedure, called endovascular thrombectomy, can help people who have a large stroke in the back part of the brain. To be eligible, the stroke must be from a blocked artery in the base of the skull, and the stroke must be severe and recent.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06315231RecruitingPhase 2
Stroke Recovery Thinking Trial for Recent Stroke Patients
This study tests an under-the-tongue tablet (edaravone dexborneol) to help thinking and memory problems that can happen after an ischemic stroke. It may help people who recently had a stroke and now have trouble with attention, memory, or planning.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 40–80 - NCT05903560Recruiting
Arm versus leg access for clot removal in basilar stroke
This trial compares doing a clot-removal procedure through the arm artery versus the leg artery for an emergency stroke caused by a blocked basilar artery. It aims to see which access route is safer and more effective for restoring blood flow when time is critical.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06987305RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting medication before clot removal for late-arriving stroke
This trial tests whether adding a clot-busting medication (rhTNK-tPA) before a clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people who have a moderate-to-severe stroke and arrive at the hospital 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms start. It's for those with a large artery blockage but still enough brain tissue that can be saved.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07185022Recruiting
Clot-busting drug through artery for medium-vessel stroke
This trial tests a clot-busting drug given directly into the arteries of the brain for people who have had a stroke due to a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve recovery when started up to 72 hours after symptoms begin.
