SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT05741593Recruiting
Interview study for older adults after ischemic stroke
This study talks with people age 65+ who were hospitalized for an ischemic stroke and are already on blood-thinning medicines to learn about their experiences. The interviews may help improve how pharmacists support patients after stroke.
VilleurbanneAges 65–100 - NCT06726434Recruiting
Comparing freezing vs. surgery for foot spasticity after stroke
This trial compares a freezing procedure (cryoneurotomy) with standard surgery to treat foot stiffness after a stroke. It aims to see which method better corrects the foot turning inward and downward, helping you walk more easily.
GarchesAges 18 years+ - NCT03552926Recruiting
Biobank and scan database for recent small stroke patients
This study builds a database and collection (a biobank) from people who recently had a small stroke affecting deep brain areas. It may help researchers better understand small stroke patterns and support future care through better brain imaging and follow-up.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07196878Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided nerve stimulation to improve walking after stroke
This study tests a new, non-surgical treatment using ultrasound and gentle electrical stimulation (like a tiny pulse) to help improve walking after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke and are still working on their walking in physical therapy.
Zaragoza, AragonAges 18–70 - NCT07084012RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell treatment for recent stroke
This trial tests whether a single infusion of umbilical cord stem cells can help people recover from a recent ischemic stroke (stroke caused by a clot). It is for patients who have had their stroke within the last 72 hours and have moderate to severe symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07004673Recruiting
PET/MR imaging for carotid artery plaque risk
This trial uses special PET/MR scans to look at fatty buildup in your neck arteries to see which ones might be dangerous. It could help doctors better understand your stroke risk and choose the right treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - 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+ - NCT05728840Recruiting
Virtual reality exercises for new attention problems after brain injury
This study tests whether virtual reality (computer-generated) exercises can improve attention after a recent brain injury, most often stroke. You may be eligible if your brain injury happened within the last month and testing shows measurable attention difficulties.
LausanneAges 18 years+ - NCT05598632Recruiting
People with atrial fibrillation registry to study stroke risk
This registry study follows people with atrial fibrillation to learn which risk factors are linked to stroke or blood clots traveling through the body. Your information helps improve how doctors predict risk and choose prevention strategies.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–120 - NCT05328401Recruiting
Laser acupuncture for shoulder pain after stroke
This trial tests whether laser acupuncture can reduce shoulder pain in people recovering from a stroke. It compares outcomes while making sure participants are not using certain pain medicines or shoulder injections that could affect results.
Keelung, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT05976685Recruiting
Close the left atrial appendage after stroke despite blood thinners
This study tests whether closing a heart pouch called the left atrial appendage can prevent future strokes in people with atrial fibrillation who had an ischemic stroke even while taking blood thinners. It may help reduce stroke risk by blocking a common place where clotting can start.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT07263308RecruitingPhase 3
Albumin for large artery stroke after clot removal
This trial tests whether giving albumin, a protein naturally found in blood, can improve recovery after a large artery stroke when given along with a procedure to remove the clot. It's for people aged 18-80 who have a stroke from a blockage in the front part of the brain and can get treatment within 24 hours.
Anqing, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT05604638RecruitingPhase 3
Tirofiban soon after tenecteplase for acute stroke flare
This trial tests whether starting tirofiban soon after tenecteplase can improve outcomes for people whose stroke symptoms temporarily get worse after treatment. It aims to see if the added medicine can reduce harmful clot-related changes after initial thrombolysis.
Chuzhou, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07453940Enrolling by invitation
Closing off heart pouch with or without pulsed energy in atrial fibrillation
This study tests if adding a special energy treatment (pulsed field ablation) to a standard heart pouch closure is safe and works better for people with persistent atrial fibrillation who have few symptoms but a high risk of stroke.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04916197RecruitingPhase 4
Dexmedetomidine sedation after stroke clot removal
This Phase 4 study tests whether using a specific calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) for a longer period after a successful clot-removal procedure helps people do better in the long term. It may help improve outcomes after ischemic stroke where the clot is successfully treated.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07353424Recruiting
Salicornia extract for memory after a small stroke
This study tests whether a polyphenol-rich extract from a salt-tolerant plant called Salicornia can slow memory decline in people who have had a lacunar stroke. It compares the extract to the usual care you would receive.
SevilleAges 40–90 - NCT07253181RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke clot-busting drug before transfer for artery clearing
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) before transferring you to a hospital that can do a procedure to remove the clot improves outcomes for people who had a stroke up to 24 hours earlier. You may qualify if you have a blockage in a large artery in the front of your brain and can still get the procedure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06737614Recruiting
Blood pressure and heart function in ICU patients
This study looks at the relationship between blood pressure and the amount of blood the heart pumps in critically ill patients. It may help doctors better understand and manage your condition in the ICU.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 420 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.
