Recruiting studies
- NCT05598632Recruiting
People with atrial fibrillation registry to study stroke risk
This registry study follows people with atrial fibrillation to learn which risk factors are linked to stroke or blood clots traveling through the body. Your information helps improve how doctors predict risk and choose prevention strategies.

Apixaban to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation and kidney failure
This trial tests apixaban (a blood thinner) to prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter who have very poor kidney function or are on dialysis. If you qualify, you may help researchers find a safer way to lower stroke risk for this higher-risk group.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT07274748Recruiting
High-intensity interval training vs functional training for stroke recovery
This study compares two types of exercise training to see which one better improves heart health, movement, and thinking skills in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who had a moderate stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk with some help.

Lower blood pressure after a heart or stroke event
This trial tests ways to help lower blood pressure in people who have had a heart attack or stroke and are at higher risk for more problems. If your blood pressure is high, the program may help reduce risk by getting it under better control.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 35 years+ - NCT07173062Recruiting
Algae supplement for heart health and gut bacteria
This study tests whether a supplement made from algae can help improve markers of heart health and affect the bacteria in your gut. It is for people age 50 and older who already have a condition like heart disease, kidney disease, or diabetes.
PortoAges 50 years+ - NCT05995600RecruitingPhase 4
Clopidogrel vs warfarin to prevent a second APS stroke
This study compares two types of blood thinners — clopidogrel (an antiplatelet) and warfarin — to prevent another stroke in people with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). It aims to find which medicine works better for people who have already had a stroke related to APS.
AnyangAges 19 years+ - NCT03710902Recruiting
Mobile coaching to lower heart risk after stroke
This trial tests whether a mobile technology program can help people manage risk factors like high blood pressure after an ischemic stroke or a “mini-stroke” (TIA). It may help lower future cardiovascular risks by improving day-to-day control of these conditions.
HämeenlinnaAges 40 years+ - NCT06519292Recruiting
Heart side effects from immunotherapy in cancer patients
This trial looks at whether immunotherapy drugs (checkpoint inhibitors) cause heart problems in people with certain cancers. It will help doctors understand who is at risk and how to monitor for side effects.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 50 years+ - NCT06041581Enrolling by invitation
Insomnia treatment study for heart health
This study tests whether treating insomnia can help lower your risk for heart disease. If you have trouble sleeping and certain heart risk factors, you may be able to join.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 40 years+ - NCT06649240Recruiting
Best LDL cholesterol goal after small vessel stroke
This trial is testing the best target for 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) after a type of stroke caused by a small blocked vessel. You would be in one of two groups to see which LDL level helps prevent another stroke the most.
AnsanAges 19 years+ - NCT03987633Recruiting
Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT05306834Recruiting
Study to slow memory decline by targeting hidden small brain vessel disease
This trial looks at how to slow cognitive decline and early dementia in people with a specific kind of “silent” blood vessel damage in the brain seen on scans. It may help identify whether targeting this hidden condition can protect thinking and memory over time.
BordeauxAges 60–88 - NCT06528717Recruiting
Keeping blood flow to the face during carotid artery surgery
This study tests whether a special technique to keep blood flowing through a small branch of the carotid artery during surgery helps people recover better after having the main blockage removed. It may be a good option if you have a significant narrowing in your carotid artery and are planning to have surgery to fix it.
BelgradeAges 50–90 - NCT07104487RecruitingPhase 2
PET/MRI scan to detect inflammation in carotid artery disease
This study tests whether a special type of PET/MRI scan can help doctors see inflammation in the carotid artery after a stroke or mini-stroke. By using a radioactive tracer, the scan may identify which patients have dangerous plaque buildup that could lead to another stroke.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT04286516Recruiting
Brain and robot training for arm movement after stroke
This study tests whether brain stimulation and robotic/arm training can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke. It may help strengthen movement and coordination by targeting brain pathways related to arm control.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 45–90 - NCT06303869Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for speech after stroke
This study tests if deep brain stimulation (a small device implanted in the brain) can improve speech and arm movement after a stroke that affected the deeper parts of the brain. It is designed for people who have trouble speaking clearly (dysarthria) from their stroke.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT06541691Recruiting
Aspirin for heart disease patients in polluted air
This study tests if different types of aspirin (coated or chewable) and a special schedule can help people with heart or blood vessel disease when they are exposed to air pollution. If you live in Tehran and have stable heart disease, you may be able to join.
Tehran, Tehran ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT04686253Recruiting
Study how a heart opening and its flow link to stroke
This study looks at the detailed flow pattern through a patent foramen ovale (PFO)—a small opening in the heart—and how it may relate to stroke, TIA, or migraine. Doctors use special ultrasound testing with contrast to better understand who is most affected.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 16–65 - NCT06646601Recruiting
Garden-based program for heart and stroke recovery
This trial tests a preventive program that uses a therapeutic garden to help people with heart or blood vessel conditions. It looks at whether patients find the program helpful and easy to take part in.
GapAges 18 years+ - NCT07743021Recruiting
Blood sample study for better health screening
This study collects blood samples and health information over time to improve early detection of diseases. It may help researchers find ways to prevent serious conditions.

Study for COVID survivors and their unpaid carepartners in South Carolina
This study looks at how to improve health and support for African American adults who had COVID-19 severe enough to need urgent care or hospitalization, along with the unpaid carepartner who helps them at home. It may be helpful if you and your carepartner live in a medically underserved or rural area and share daily support needs.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04220047Recruiting
