Recruiting studies
- NCT07728539Recruiting

This trial tests whether a non-invasive treatment that boosts blood flow can help people recovering from a stroke. If you had a stroke within the last month and have moderate to moderately severe disability, you may be eligible to participate and potentially improve your recovery.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT07178015Enrolling by invitation
Heart and stroke outcomes in people with silent carotid plaques
This study follows people who have carotid plaques (fatty deposits in neck arteries) that haven't caused symptoms yet. It aims to learn how these plaques affect future heart and brain health, like heart attacks or strokes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06253000Recruiting
Heat vs. Freezing for the Back of the Heart
This trial tests two ways to treat the back wall of the heart's left chamber in people with stubborn atrial fibrillation. It compares radiofrequency (heat) and cryoablation (freezing) to see which is safer and works better.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT06954610Recruiting
Heart Check for Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation
This trial uses heart imaging to better understand stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help doctors decide on the best treatment to prevent another stroke.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05051397RecruitingPhase 2
Breathing gas study during clot removal for stroke
This Phase 2 trial tests whether changing breathing gas (CO₂ level) during a mechanical procedure to remove a brain blood clot can improve outcomes for acute ischemic stroke. It may help by protecting the brain during the clot-removal procedure under general anesthesia.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06418698Recruiting
Brain artery calcium and clot removal outcomes
This study looks at whether calcium buildup in brain arteries affects how well clot removal (mechanical thrombectomy) works for stroke patients. You may be able to join if you have a large artery blockage, a CT scan was done, and you are having the clot removal procedure.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05853796Recruiting
Studying stroke warning signs in young adults
This observational study follows people ages 18–50 who had a first TIA (“mini-stroke”) or an acute ischemic stroke to better understand what happens after the event. It may help improve future care by tracking symptoms, imaging findings, and recovery over time.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18–50 - NCT06802159Recruiting
Rehabilitation methods for stroke-related neglect
This study tests different therapy methods to help people who have trouble paying attention to one side of the world after a stroke. It aims to find which approach works best for improving this 'neglect' and helping you get back to daily activities.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT06962397Recruiting
Using touch to improve recovery after stroke
This study tests if using a special device to feel different textures can help improve hand and arm recovery in people who have had a stroke.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT05922540Recruiting
Study of ischemic stroke to improve patient care
This study looks at people who have had an ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blocked blood vessel). It is collecting information over time to better understand care needs and follow-up after stroke.
HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT07810374Enrolling by invitation
Learning program for swallowing difficulties after stroke
This trial tests an interactive teaching system that helps stroke patients learn about swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). The program uses videos and quizzes to teach you techniques to swallow safely, which might help you recover and avoid complications.
Yuli, Yilan CountyAges 20–75 - NCT07503301Enrolling by invitation
Study on stroke recovery and limb therapy
This trial tests if a limb therapy called RIC can help people recover from a stroke caused by small vessel disease. It is designed for people aged 50-65 who have had a recent stroke and have few other health issues.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 50–65 - NCT06525987Recruiting
Exercise coaching for brain health after small stroke
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program, guided by a coach over video calls, can help improve brain function and connectivity in people who have had a small stroke. The program is designed for people aged 60 and older with a history of lacunar stroke who are not very active but otherwise have minimal disability.
Avezzano, L'AquilaAges 60 years+ - NCT04240119Enrolling by invitation
Study blood vessel growth markers in certain brain artery narrowing
This study looks at “angiogenic markers,” which are blood measures that may reflect how blood vessels grow, in people with significant narrowing of a brain artery. It aims to better understand these changes and how they relate to cerebrovascular disease.
Ages 18 years+ - NCT06473272Recruiting
Ultrasound to study neck artery plaques and predict risk
This study uses different ultrasound techniques to look at plaques in the neck artery and predict future heart or stroke events. It may help doctors understand which plaques are more dangerous.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40–100 - NCT05871606RecruitingPhase 1
Breathing nitric oxide during clot-removal for stroke
This Phase 1 study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide (a gas breathed through a ventilator) can improve outcomes in people having a specific kind of emergency stroke procedure to remove a clot from the brain. It focuses on patients who need general anesthesia for the clot-removal procedure and have imaging results that suggest salvageable brain tissue.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT06728592Recruiting
Emergency stroke care for rapid treatment of ischemic stroke
This trial tests a dedicated emergency stroke unit that provides fast, coordinated care for people with acute ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may receive clot-busting medication or clot-removal treatment quickly to help reduce brain damage and improve recovery.
Hong KongAges 18–100 - NCT06474507Recruiting
Calculus Bovis Sativus for Stroke Recovery
This study tests an investigational traditional Chinese medicine called Calculus Bovis Sativus (CBS) for people who have had an ischemic stroke or have small vessel disease in the brain. It aims to see if CBS can help recovery and is safe to use.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06827301Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for swallowing problems after stroke
This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in the ear to help improve swallowing after a recent stroke. It may be an option if you have moderate swallowing difficulties diagnosed within the first week after your stroke.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06601127RecruitingPhase 2
Tiprogrel for recent minor stroke or high-risk TIA
This trial tests a new anti-platelet drug called Tiprogrel to prevent another stroke in people who recently had a minor stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) with certain artery narrowing or plaques. It aims to see if this medicine is safe and works better than current treatments.

Study on blood thinners and artery health for small vessel stroke
This study tests whether a combination of antiplatelet drugs and artery-stabilizing medication can improve recovery after a small stroke caused by damage to tiny blood vessels in the brain. It may help prevent further strokes and support healing.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 30–79 - NCT06954155RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for stroke treatment 24-72 hours after symptoms start
This trial tests if the clot-busting drug tenecteplase can help people with a moderate to severe stroke when given 24 to 72 hours after symptoms began. It aims to see if this later treatment window can improve recovery and reduce disability.
