Recruiting studies
- NCT05378490Recruiting
Study of stroke types and thrombolysis treatment
This study includes people who have had certain kinds of sudden brain blood-flow problems (like an ischemic stroke, bleeding in the brain, or a brief warning episode) or conditions that look similar. It looks at how treatment such as clot-busting medicine (thrombolysis) fits for these situations.

Clot removal vs. best medicine for mild stroke with large vessel blockage
This trial tests whether removing a blood clot from a large brain artery is better than standard medical care for people who have a mild stroke (NIHSS score 2-5) but still have symptoms like trouble speaking, weakness, or confusion. It is for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of their last known well time.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05659160Recruiting
Triage approach for certain strokes from blocked large brain arteries
This trial studies a way to sort and treat people with a specific type of acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blockage in a large brain artery). It may help doctors choose the best next steps—either a procedure or medication—faster and more appropriately.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06315192Recruiting
Stroke alarm app trial for faster care
This trial tests a smartphone app called Stroke Alarm to see if it helps people who have had a recent stroke, mini-stroke, or have untreated atrial fibrillation get faster care. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a smartphone, and had a relevant event in the last 2 weeks.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05864638Recruiting
Registry study of clot-removal treatment for acute stroke
This study records outcomes for people having an acute ischemic stroke treated with an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure. It may help doctors understand how clot-removal treatment works in different patients and hospitals.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT06825897Recruiting
Direct to angiography suite for stroke clot removal
This trial compares two ways to treat severe stroke patients with a large vessel blockage. One way is the standard approach of first imaging you and then deciding. The other way takes you directly to the angiography suite for immediate clot removal by the doctor. The goal is to see if this faster, direct approach helps you get better results.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06775782Recruiting
Remote conditioning for moderate stroke from large artery blockage
This trial tests whether a non-invasive arm cuff treatment (remote ischemic conditioning) can help people recover from a moderate stroke caused by a blockage in a major artery. You must start the treatment within 48 hours of your first symptoms.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–85 - NCT05847699Recruiting
MRI study of stroke brain changes after decompression surgery
This study looks at how MRI findings match what doctors see in brain tissue after treatment for a type of severe stroke. It may help researchers better understand which brain changes happen early and how decompressive surgery affects them.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07263308RecruitingPhase 3
Albumin for large artery stroke after clot removal
This trial tests whether giving albumin, a protein naturally found in blood, can improve recovery after a large artery stroke when given along with a procedure to remove the clot. It's for people aged 18-80 who have a stroke from a blockage in the front part of the brain and can get treatment within 24 hours.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT05611242RecruitingPhase 3
Thrombectomy for acute stroke caused by blocked neck and brain arteries
This Phase 3 trial studies whether removing a clot using a catheter (endovascular thrombectomy) works better for certain types of acute ischemic stroke. It focuses on people with a blocked neck artery plus a blockage in the brain, and who can’t get or didn’t respond to IV clot-busting medicine.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18–79 - NCT06527807Recruiting
Stroke in pregnancy and after birth study
This study looks at how stroke affects women who are pregnant or have recently given birth, and how it may affect their babies. It aims to understand the risks and outcomes for both mothers and children.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07324837RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a clot-busting drug for stroke up to 24 hours later
This trial tests a single dose of a new clot-dissolving medicine for people who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours ago. It may help if you cannot have standard treatments like a clot-removal procedure or other clot-busting drugs.
Ryazan, Ryazan OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT05779215Recruiting
Registry for acute stroke with blocked brain arteries
This study records information about people who have a new acute ischemic stroke caused by a blockage in a larger or medium-sized brain artery. It may help doctors better understand outcomes and care for this stroke type, using data from many patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06559241RecruitingPhase 3
Arm or leg cuff treatment for large clot stroke recovery
This trial tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment (repeated inflation of a blood pressure cuff on your arm or leg) can help people recover better after a stroke caused by a large clot. You must be having a mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) within 24 hours of your stroke.
Suzhou, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07138768Recruiting
Using MRI to diagnose acute stroke faster in the ER
This trial tests how using MRI can help doctors diagnose acute stroke faster in the emergency room. It may lead to quicker treatment and better outcomes for stroke patients.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT02369770Recruiting
Rehab training for ankle and leg function after a stroke
This study tests a sensory-motor rehabilitation program to improve movement of the ankle and affected leg after a first stroke. It may help people regain safer, more controlled walking and leg movement.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT06702787Enrolling by invitation
Mechanical thrombectomy for stroke in the Middle East and North Africa
This study collects information from people who had a stroke from a blocked brain artery and were treated with mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove the clot). The goal is to understand how well this treatment works in the Middle East and North Africa.
Alexandria, Alexandria GovernorateAges Any age - NCT06881420Recruiting
