Recruiting studies
- NCT04824482Recruiting

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 - 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.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT05967728Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing remote arm conditioning to protect the brain in stroke
This Phase 2 study tests whether a simple remote method that briefly reduces blood flow in the arm (called ischemic conditioning) can help people with brain small-vessel disease or an acute ischemic stroke. Participants are monitored by phone and, for stroke patients, through a Mobile Stroke Unit.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 55 years+ - NCT05283174Recruiting
Blood thinner use during stroke to predict outcomes
This study looks at how people doing well on certain blood thinners do when they have a stroke or bleeding while taking them. It will measure medication levels in your blood to understand stroke severity and recovery in the short and long term.
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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06483165Enrolling by invitation
F.A.S.T. and BE FAST stroke signs study
This study asks the public to share how well they know the warning signs of stroke (using the F.A.S.T. or BE FAST mnemonic). It may help improve stroke awareness and save lives.
Dallas, TexasAges 19 years+ - NCT06758609Recruiting
Brain cooling plus clot removal for large artery stroke
This trial tests a new treatment that combines cooling the brain with a catheter and removing the clot to restore blood flow — for people who have had a major stroke in the front part of the brain within the last 24 hours.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - 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+ - 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 - 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.
Coimbra, Coimbra DistrictAges 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+ - 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+ - 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
