Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT06498011Recruiting
Training to improve arm and hand function after stroke
This study tests a new type of training that combines thinking, feeling, and moving to help improve arm and hand function after a stroke.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04934787Recruiting
Balance-feedback ankle rehab after stroke
This trial tests an ankle-foot exercise and training program that gives you balance feedback to improve walking after stroke. It may help reduce foot drop and improve balance and safe walking.
Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT06212219Recruiting
EEG brain training to help arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can improve arm movement in people who recently had a stroke. It uses an EEG cap to measure your brain activity while you do arm exercises, helping you relearn how to move your affected arm.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - 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.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05651945Recruiting
Cardiac rehab program for people after a stroke
This trial studies a supervised cardiac rehabilitation program for people after they have had a stroke. It may help improve heart-related fitness and recovery safety after stroke, especially for patients who need a tailored rehab approach.
Edison, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06988215Recruiting
Taping and swallowing exercises for stroke patients with swallowing difficulty
This trial tests whether kinesiology taping (a special tape placed on the skin) combined with swallowing exercises can help people who have had a stroke and have trouble swallowing. It may improve muscle thickness and swallowing function.
Istanbul, bahçelievlerAges 50–80 - 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+ - NCT02910180Recruiting
Biobank study of genetic and metabolic data in brain blood vessel disease
This study collects genetic and other health information from people with brain blood vessel (cerebrovascular) problems. It aims to help researchers understand causes and patterns that could lead to better care in the future.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06959199Recruiting
Treating stroke beyond 24 hours with artery-opening procedure
This study tests whether opening a blocked large artery in the brain up to 5 days (or even 7 days if symptoms are worsening) after a stroke can improve outcomes. It uses a catheter-based treatment (endovascular therapy) for people who have not responded to standard care and have limited brain damage so far.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07324278Recruiting
Hybrid stroke rehab with mirror training for arm recovery
This trial tests a combination of mirror therapy and standard rehab to help improve arm function after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have some movement in your affected arm.
Kaohsiung City, Yanchao DistrictAges 20–80 - NCT05492513Recruiting
Constraint therapy for adults with mild arm weakness after stroke
This study tests a therapy that focuses on using your weaker arm more after a stroke by “constraining” the better arm during training. It may help improve how you move and use your hand and wrist in daily life if you still have mild movement and can participate in clinic sessions.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06155032Recruiting
Clot Removal for Worsening Mild Stroke
This trial tests whether emergency clot removal (endovascular therapy) can help people whose mild stroke gets worse within a week. It's for those who have a blockage in a large brain artery and enough healthy brain tissue to save.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 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+ - NCT04911738Recruiting
Virtual reality glasses to improve balance after stroke
This trial studies whether virtual reality glasses training can improve balance and body alignment after a recent stroke. It will also compare how stroke participants with balance problems respond versus people without stroke.
GrenobleAges 18–80 - NCT06615973Recruiting
Stroke recovery and social factors study
This study looks at how social factors (like where you live or your income) might affect thinking and memory after a stroke. If you had a stroke before and joined a related study, you may be able to join this one.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06674057Recruiting
Taping with physical therapy for arm function after stroke
This study tests whether adding kinesio-taping to standard physical therapy helps improve arm movement and reduce stiffness in people recovering from a recent stroke.
IslamabadAges 40–65 - NCT06492265RecruitingPhase 2
Emergency stroke unit study for acute brain attacks
This trial tests a special stroke unit for people having a severe ischemic stroke (a blood clot in the brain). It aims to see if treatment within 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start can improve recovery. You may join if you need a procedure to remove the clot.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06522282RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Emergency Stroke Unit for Acute Stroke (4.5-6 hours)
This trial tests a new way to treat ischemic stroke patients who arrive at the hospital 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start. It focuses on people eligible for a clot removal procedure, using advanced imaging to see if this approach helps them recover better.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT03153683Recruiting
Brain and blood clot registry for adults having brain blood tests
This study is a registry, meaning it collects information from people having surgery or procedures for problems involving blood vessels in the brain. It may help researchers better understand brain blood conditions and clots by tracking patterns over time.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT04759326Recruiting
Hippotherapy after stroke to improve movement and function
This trial studies whether therapy using a horse (hippotherapy) can help adults who still have stroke-related physical difficulties more than 3 months after their stroke. It aims to improve daily function and movement when standard recovery has not been enough.
La CanourgueAges 18 years+ - NCT05028855Recruiting
Testing brain blood-flow control in recent carotid or MCA narrowing
This study tests how well your brain controls its own blood flow (“cerebral autoregulation”) after a recent TIA or ischemic stroke caused by a narrowed carotid or MCA artery. It may help researchers understand why symptoms happen and how to better assess brain circulation after stroke.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–80 - NCT05238272Recruiting
tRNS device to improve mirror therapy after stroke
This trial tests a brain-stimulation device (tRNS) paired with precision mirror therapy to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help people with moderate to mild arm weakness regain more control, but you must meet several safety and health criteria.
TaoyuanAges 35–85 - NCT05393492Recruiting
Emotion and behavior skills after a brain injury
This study tests a structured program to help people after a brain injury manage emotions and challenging behaviors, and to reduce distress for them and their families. If you (or your family member) can participate safely and understand the activities in French, you may be invited to join a group and assessments.
