Recruiting studies
- NCT04874454Recruiting

Shoulder sling effect on balance and walking after stroke
This study tests whether using a shoulder sling helps improve balance and walking ability in people who had a stroke within the last 6 months and have one-sided arm weakness. It aims to see if the sling can make moving around safer and easier.
Koropí, AtticaAges 18 years+ - NCT07295769Recruiting
Detecting hidden atrial fibrillation after stroke of unknown cause
This study uses a small patch (M.E.M.O. Patch) to continuously monitor your heart rhythm for hidden atrial fibrillation, a treatable cause of stroke. The goal is to see if the patch can find irregular heartbeats that standard tests might miss.
Seoul, Songpa-guAges 19 years+ - NCT02328573Recruiting
Group singing for people after stroke and their caregivers
This study looks at whether group singing can help people who have had a stroke and support the people who care for them. If you or your caregiver are interested in group singing, this may be a simple way to try the intervention while contributing to research.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06215625Recruiting
Smart arm rehab for stroke and spinal cord injury
This study tests a smart home-based upper limb rehabilitation program for people with stroke or spinal cord injury. It uses technology to help improve arm and hand movement.
TainanAges 20–79 - NCT07624630Recruiting
Brain Activity and Walking After Stroke
This study examines how your brain works when you walk and think at the same time after stroke. Researchers will use brain imaging to understand this process, which could help develop better rehabilitation strategies.
Solna, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07503522Recruiting
Personalized music and exercise for stroke recovery
This study tests whether adding personalized music to gentle aerobic exercise helps people recovering from a recent stroke improve faster. It's for patients in the early weeks or months after stroke who can sit, understand instructions, and don't have major heart or thinking problems.
Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi MinhAges 18 years+ - NCT07294274Recruiting
Predicting depression risk after a stroke
This study creates a tool to predict if someone might develop depression after an ischemic stroke. It aims to help doctors identify and support patients who are at higher risk.
ChongqingAges Any age - NCT06157502RecruitingPhase 3
Shuxuening with clot-busting treatment for ischemic stroke
This trial tests if adding the herbal injection Shuxuening to standard clot-busting treatment improves recovery for people having an ischemic stroke. It is for adults within 6 hours of symptom onset who are already receiving a clot-dissolving medication.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT07059351Recruiting
Mouth health and pneumonia risk after stroke
This study looks at how oral health affects the chances of developing pneumonia after a stroke and how well people recover their ability to swallow. It may help find ways to prevent complications and improve recovery for stroke survivors with swallowing problems.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT06048159Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve memory after stroke-related aphasia
This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation called tACS to see if it can help improve short-term memory for sounds and words in people who have trouble speaking after a stroke. If you have aphasia from a left-brain stroke, this treatment might help your brain relearn how to remember and repeat what you hear.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06471309Enrolling by invitation
Theta burst TMS for swallowing problems after stroke
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see if it can help people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and are right-handed.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT07253974Recruiting
Atrial Fibrillation Stroke Recovery Study
This study follows people who had a stroke linked to atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and are in a rehabilitation program. Researchers want to see how recovery goes and what helps patients improve.

Nerve surgery vs botox for spastic foot after stroke
This trial compares two treatments—tibial nerve selective surgery and botulinum toxin (botox) injections—to improve a stiff, turning-in foot after stroke. It aims to use goal-based care to see which option works better for walking and foot function.
BronAges 18–100 - NCT04197258Recruiting
Peer support after stroke for people going home from rehab

Intra-arterial treatment for stroke when no reperfusion was given
This trial tests an “intra-arterial” approach (a treatment delivered through an artery to the brain) for people with ischemic stroke who were not given clot-busting therapy or a clot-removal procedure. It aims to improve neurological recovery when there wasn’t reperfusion therapy, including in cases where symptoms worsen soon after stroke.
ShenyangAges 18 years+ - NCT05981989Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation to improve arm and hand function after stroke
This trial tests if a device placed near the spinal cord can help improve movement, feeling, and pain after a stroke. It is for people who have had one stroke and have weakness on one side of the body.

Direct to angiography suite for stroke clot removal
This trial compares two ways to treat severe stroke patients with a large vessel blockage. One way is the standard approach of first imaging you and then deciding. The other way takes you directly to the angiography suite for immediate clot removal by the doctor. The goal is to see if this faster, direct approach helps you get better results.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stroke patients?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 439 recruiting stroke patients 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 patients 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 patients 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.
