Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT07360899Recruiting
Closing the left atrial appendage during heart surgery to prevent stroke
This trial tests if closing the left atrial appendage with a special stitch during planned heart surgery can help prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation. If you already need heart surgery, this extra step may reduce your future stroke risk.
Kamenitz, VojvodinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06869811Recruiting
Stroke prevention after failed blood thinners
This study is for people who had a stroke despite taking blood thinners for atrial fibrillation. It tests if adding a procedure to close the left atrial appendage (a small pouch in the heart) to your blood thinner is better than just taking the blood thinner alone to prevent another stroke.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–95 - NCT07159178Enrolling by invitation
Shoulder problems and balance in stroke survivors
This study looks at how shoulder problems after a stroke affect balance. Understanding this link could help improve therapy for better stability and fall prevention.
Istanbul, KÜÇÜKÇEKMECEAges 40–80 - NCT07127861Recruiting
Walking training on a treadmill after stroke
This study tests whether treadmill walking can improve how well people walk after a stroke. It may help those who already have some walking ability but want to get better.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 18–80 - NCT07018336Recruiting
Mirror therapy vs virtual reality for arm recovery after stroke
This study compares two therapies—mirror therapy and virtual reality—to help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke. It aims to find which approach works better for recovery.
Istanbul, GaziosmanpaşaAges 18–75 - NCT06731673Recruiting
HSP47 protein study in blood clots
This study looks at a protein called HSP47 in people with blood clots, heart attacks, or strokes caused by atrial fibrillation, compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to learn more about how blood clots form and may lead to better treatments.
Aarhus, Central RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06009315Recruiting
Stroke treatment outcome prediction study
This study looks at patients having a stroke procedure to remove a clot. It aims to predict how well people recover. If you are having this treatment, the study might help doctors understand your likely outcome.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT06571149RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinners and clot-busting drugs for stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medicine (alteplase or tenecteplase) is safe and effective for people who have had a stroke and are taking a blood thinner (DOAC) like apixaban or rivaroxaban. It aims to see if this treatment can still be given within a few hours of the stroke.
EisenstadtAges 18 years+ - NCT04663399Recruiting
Study immune changes after stroke treatment
This study looks at how the body’s immune system responds after an acute ischemic stroke that may be treated with a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy. It may help doctors understand what immune changes happen after treatment and improve future care.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05691244RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours
This Phase 3 trial studies sovateltide (and a placebo) in adults with an ischemic stroke, aiming to improve safety and outcomes. It focuses on people who can start treatment quickly after stroke symptoms begin and who do not have bleeding in the brain on imaging.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT05878002Recruiting
Tests thinking, movement, and sleep after clot removal stroke
This study looks at thinking skills, body movement, and sleep patterns in adults after a specific type of stroke treated with a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors better understand what changes happen after treatment and how to measure them.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT04847752Recruiting
Predicting outcomes after stroke from artery plaque
This study looks at factors that can help predict recovery and risk after an ischemic stroke caused by plaque buildup in a major artery. It may help doctors better forecast prognosis and tailor follow-up care for people like you.
WuhanAges Up to 80 years - NCT03968393RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinner to prevent stroke after stress-related irregular heartbeats
This trial tests whether taking a blood thinner can lower the risk of stroke in people who had atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) that happened temporarily around a stressful illness or surgery. It looks especially at people at higher risk for stroke after that episode.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 55 years+ - NCT05983757Recruiting
Clot retrieval for smaller brain artery strokes
This trial tests if removing clots from smaller arteries in the brain (not the main ones) helps people who had a stroke and can't get standard clot-busting medicine. It compares clot removal to usual care for strokes caused by these medium-sized vessel blockages.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06556446Recruiting
Clot-busting drug after stroke if on blood thinner
This study looks at whether giving a clot-busting medicine (IV thrombolysis) is safe and effective for people who have had a stroke and also recently took a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). If you've taken a DOAC in the last 48 hours, this trial may help doctors decide the best treatment for you.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT06785740Recruiting
Statins for older stroke patients with frailty
This study looks at how well statins work in older stroke or TIA patients who are already taking them and also have some frailty. The goal is to understand if continuing statins is safe and helpful for this group.
Almere StadAges 70–120 - NCT06047782Recruiting
MRI study of atrial scarring and stroke risk
This study uses a special heart MRI to look for scarring in the upper chambers of the heart (atria) that might cause hidden atrial fibrillation after a stroke with no known cause. It may help explain why the stroke happened and guide future treatment.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07546877Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Improve Memory After Stroke
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that occur after a stroke. If you've had a stroke in the past year and are experiencing cognitive difficulties, this trial may help restore some of your mental abilities.
JinanAges 35–75 - NCT07526987RecruitingPhase 3
Minocycline to Help Recovery After Acute Stroke Treatment
This study tests whether an antibiotic called minocycline, given alongside standard stroke treatment (clot-busting medication), can help reduce brain damage and improve recovery. You would receive minocycline around the time of your clot-busting treatment.
Liaocheng, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06342206Recruiting
TCM Assessment for Recent Ischemic Stroke
This study uses traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnostic tools to evaluate patients who had an ischemic stroke within the last 10 days. It aims to understand the acute and chronic phases of stroke to help guide future treatments.
ChanghuaAges 20 years+ - NCT04433351Recruiting
Rehab training to improve speech after stroke in French speakers
This trial studies a sensory-and-movement training approach to help people relearn speech after stroke-related language difficulties. It may help if your type of post-stroke aphasia is mainly non-fluent and you can safely complete brain scans.
GrenobleAges 55–75 - NCT06711432Recruiting
Blood Pressure Management During Tumor Surgery and Brain Function
This trial compares different blood pressure management strategies during abdominal tumor surgery to see which one better protects cognitive function (thinking, memory, and clarity). It is for patients who have multiple stroke risk factors and are undergoing a lengthy surgery.
