Compare a heart procedure to blood-thinner pills for stroke prevention
This trial studies whether closing off part of the heart (the left atrial appendage) can prevent stroke as well as long-term newer blood-thinner pills. It may help people with atrial fibrillation who recently had a stroke or a warning stroke (TIA).
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT03788512Recruiting
Registry study for recent stroke/TIA with heart artery disease
This study enrolls people who recently had an ischemic stroke or a TIA (a “mini-stroke”) and also have evidence of narrowed heart arteries. It collects information to better understand how brain and heart artery disease occur together and may guide future care.
Beijing, BJAges 18–85 - NCT05232240Recruiting
Study blood pressure swings after stroke or TIA
This trial studies changes (“swings”) in blood pressure in people who recently had an ischemic stroke or a TIA. It may help doctors understand how blood pressure fluctuations affect recovery, even when you do not have known hypertension.
Beijing, BJAges 18 years+ - NCT05565781Recruiting
Watch for hidden atrial fibrillation after unexplained stroke
This study uses a smartwatch and a longer heart-monitoring test (a Holter) to find an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation after a stroke whose cause is unclear. If they detect it, it may help guide better prevention and treatment to reduce future stroke risk.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 55 years+ - NCT06098235Recruiting
Test of the Oriental diet for brain health in people at high stroke risk
This trial tests whether a special diet (the Oriental diet) can help protect thinking and memory in people who have several stroke risk factors. It may be a good fit if you are 40 or older and have three or more stroke risk factors, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or being overweight.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 40 years+ - NCT06187025Recruiting
Addiction & Stroke: Smartphone tool for prevention
This study tests whether a smartphone tool can help people who have had a stroke make healthier choices to prevent another one. It specifically looks at how the tool might help manage addiction-related risks.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stroke (cva) or transient ischemic attack?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 153 recruiting stroke (cva) or transient ischemic attack studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a stroke (cva) or transient ischemic attack trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a stroke (cva) or transient ischemic attack trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
