Recruiting studies
- NCT06194968Recruiting

This study looks at how well the clot-busting drug urokinase works for treating acute ischemic stroke in everyday medical practice. It may help if you have had a stroke and are eligible for clot-dissolving medication.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT06125236Recruiting
Stroke study for large artery blockages in Southwest China
This study is collecting information from people in Southwest China who have had a stroke caused by a blocked large or medium artery. The goal is to learn more about these strokes and how to treat them better.
LuzhouAges Any age - NCT06548269Recruiting
Assessing stroke recovery in patients with atrial fibrillation
This study watches how people recover from a recent stroke caused by a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation (or AFib). It aims to find better ways to predict recovery and guide future care.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT05892510RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tenecteplase after clot removal for no-reflow stroke
This trial tests whether giving tenecteplase directly into the brain artery after a thrombectomy can improve outcomes when blood flow doesn’t fully return (“no-reflow”) in an emergency stroke. It may help some people by reducing ongoing clot-related blockage after the main clot is removed.
Gold Coast, QueenslandAges 18 years+ - NCT07047014RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for medium vessel occlusion stroke (ARTS trial)
This trial tests the clot-busting drug tenecteplase in people who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours ago due to a medium-sized artery blockage. It aims to see if this medication can improve outcomes without needing a procedure to remove the clot.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06200753Recruiting
Late stroke treatment study for large vessel blockages
This study looks at patients who had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot) more than 24 hours ago and have a blockage in a large brain artery. It compares outcomes for those who get a procedure to remove the clot versus those who get only medical treatment.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT04862507Recruiting
Thrombectomy treatment for severe stroke with low ASPECTS
This trial studies an approach for removing a blockage using thrombectomy in people with an acute ischemic stroke that shows a low ASPECTS score. It may help restore blood flow in strokes that have significant early changes on brain imaging.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07085390Recruiting
Comparing two catheters for stroke clot removal
This study compares two types of catheters (thin tubes) used during a stroke procedure to remove a blood clot. The goal is to see which one works better for clearing blockages in large blood vessels in the brain.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05756257Recruiting
MRI study of blood pressure swings after ischemic stroke
This trial looks at whether changes in blood pressure after an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by blocked blood flow) are linked to recovery and outcomes. You may be asked to have MRI scans soon after arriving to help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05295862Recruiting
Stroke registry for adults after acute stroke
This study enrolls adults who are admitted to the hospital for a sudden (acute) stroke. It mainly collects information about your care and recovery to help improve stroke treatment in the future.
Giessen, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT07785492Recruiting
AI-assisted care for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence system can help doctors make better treatment decisions for people who have had an acute ischemic stroke within the last 24 hours. The goal is to see if this AI support improves outcomes compared to standard care.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07702968Recruiting
Low-field MRI for stroke patients in the ER
This trial uses a low-field MRI machine to scan the brains of people with suspected stroke who come to the emergency room. It aims to see if this type of MRI can help doctors make faster and better decisions about treatment.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07604181Recruiting
Telerehabilitation vs clinic therapy for stroke arm recovery
This trial compares two ways of helping stroke survivors regain arm and hand function: therapy done remotely online versus in-person at a clinic. Both use a specialized approach called constraint-induced movement therapy, which encourages use of the weaker arm. The study aims to see which method works better for people in the first 6 months after stroke.
Faisalabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–70 - NCT06301412RecruitingPhase 3
Cooling plus clot removal for acute stroke
This trial tests whether cooling the body down (hypothermia) combined with a clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) helps people recover better from a large-artery stroke. You may be eligible if you have a moderate-to-severe stroke and can be treated within 24 hours of when you were last seen well.
Freiburg im BreisgauAges 18 years+ - NCT06865950Recruiting
Sex differences in emergency stroke care
This study looks at how men and women with suspected stroke or mini-stroke are treated by emergency services. It aims to improve care for everyone.
HomburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06605014Recruiting
Body alignment after stroke or mini-stroke
This study looks at how a stroke or mini-stroke affects the body's natural movement and alignment (called somatic dysfunction). Researchers want to see if there are common patterns of tightness or imbalance after a stroke, which could help guide future treatments.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06404268RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Helping stroke survivors regain ankle movement with exercise
This study tests whether gentle leg exercises can help people recovering from a recent stroke. The focus is on improving ankle movement and strength on the weak side.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–85 - NCT05600374Recruiting
Brain stimulation timed to brain rhythms after recent stroke
This trial tests a special brain-stimulation approach that targets your brain’s natural 8–12 Hz rhythm to improve arm and hand recovery after stroke. It’s designed for people in the early days after an ischemic stroke, when motor recovery is still changing quickly.
Frankfurt a.M., Frankfurt a.M.Ages 18 years+ - NCT04701684Recruiting
Fast-stroke treatment workflow study to save minutes to clot removal
This study tests whether a streamlined hospital workflow can reduce the time it takes to reopen blocked blood vessels during very fast stroke treatment. Faster treatment may help more brain tissue be saved by getting endovascular (clot-removal) therapy started sooner.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07119021RecruitingPhase 4
Ultra-early stroke treatment with neuroprotection and clot removal
This trial tests a new approach for treating acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting. It combines a special mobile stroke unit that delivers early brain-protecting medicine with standard clot-busting or clot-removal procedures, to see if this can improve recovery.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT05424978Recruiting
Standardized green-channel treatment for acute stroke care
This study tests a structured, fast way of treating people who have a new ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help because it focuses on getting the right stroke treatments quickly and consistently.
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+ - 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.
