Comparing breathing and neck release in stroke recovery
This study compares two gentle therapy techniques—special breathing exercises and a hands-on release at the base of the skull—to see which helps stroke survivors with one-sided weakness regain movement and breathing. It may be a good fit if you're still recovering from a first stroke months ago and don't have major heart or lung problems.
AfyonkarahisarAges 18–84 - NCT06388148Recruiting

Hengyang, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06313866Recruiting
Herbal sniffing therapy plus acupuncture for stroke-related thinking problems
This trial tests if combining traditional Chinese herbal sniffing therapy with electroacupuncture can improve memory and thinking after a stroke. It may help people who are still in the early recovery phase.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Up to 70 years - NCT07700537Recruiting
Brain stimulation for speech recovery after recent stroke
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation treatment called tDCS to help people recover speech after a recent stroke. If you had a first-time stroke on the left side of your brain within the past 3 months and now have trouble speaking (aphasia), this treatment may help your brain relearn language.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT05874154Recruiting

Early heart rhythm treatment to help prevent stroke
This trial tests an early treatment approach for people who had a recent ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) and have an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to lower the chance of having another stroke by treating AF as early as possible after the stroke.
HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06194968Recruiting
Stroke treatment with urokinase in real-world settings
This study looks at how well the clot-busting drug urokinase works for treating acute ischemic stroke in everyday medical practice. It may help if you have had a stroke and are eligible for clot-dissolving medication.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT06654375Recruiting
Late stroke treatment with clot removal or medication
This trial compares a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (thrombectomy) with standard medical care for people who had a stroke 24 to 72 hours ago but still have some blood flow around the clot. It aims to see if the procedure can help improve recovery even when started later than usual.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06674460RecruitingPhase 3
Edaravone Dexborneol tablet for stroke recovery
This trial tests a new sublingual tablet (Edaravone Dexborneol) to help people recover after a small stroke caused by disease of the small blood vessels in the brain. It aims to see if the drug can improve thinking and daily function.
BeijingAges 30–80 - NCT07520565RecruitingPhase 3
Emergency stroke treatment with BXOS110 within 3 hours
This trial tests whether BXOS110, an experimental injection, can help people recover better after an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot) when given within 3 hours of symptom onset. The study compares BXOS110 to a placebo to see if it reduces disability and improves recovery.
Hengshui, HebeiAges 18–85 - NCT04434807Recruiting
Surgery soon after brain bleed vs standard care
This trial tests whether removing a certain type of brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) very early, using a minimally invasive surgery approach, improves outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help people whose bleed is large enough and who can have surgery within a strict time window.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05653440RecruitingPhase 2
Naming therapy training for chronic post-stroke aphasia
This Phase 2 trial studies a speech therapy approach that teaches people with aphasia how to name words, using different learning methods. You may be able to join if your language problem started after a stroke and has lasted more than 6 months.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05653466RecruitingPhase 2
Telehealth therapy schedule for stroke-related aphasia patients
This trial tests an approach that adjusts therapy scheduling for people with long-lasting (over 6 months) language problems after a stroke. It may help some patients by matching the therapy timing to what works best for them.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05826548Recruiting
Telerehabilitation program for memory, Parkinson’s, and stroke needs
This trial studies a home-based exercise and training program delivered by telerehabilitation (remote care) for people with mild cognitive impairment, Parkinson’s disease, or stroke. It may help improve day-to-day thinking and movement skills by supporting you with structured practice from home.
Lido, VeneziaAges 18–85 - NCT06320132Recruiting
Study on brain bleed recovery in the ICU
This study looks at how patients recover after a sudden, non-traumatic brain bleed. It aims to learn more about their brain function and daily living skills over time.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06757764RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke from artery narrowing: testing combination of anti-platelet drugs
This trial tests whether a combination of two or three anti-platelet medicines (like aspirin, clopidogrel, or cilostazol) is safe and works better than one alone for people who had a stroke from a narrowed artery. The goal is to prevent another stroke.
Seoul, Songpa-guAges 20 years+ - NCT07175519Recruiting
Safety of devices used to treat aneurysms
This study looks at how safe and effective different devices are when used to repair aneurysms through a minimally invasive procedure called endovascular treatment. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
LondonAges Any age - NCT07530588Recruiting
Remote CT imaging for fast stroke treatment decisions
This study tests whether CT scans done remotely (by doctors at a distance) can help stroke patients receive clot-busting treatment faster. Stroke treatment works best when given quickly, and this approach aims to speed up diagnosis in areas far from major hospitals.
SandnessjøenAges 18 years+ - NCT05004233Recruiting
Antiplatelet treatment imaging test for stroke patients
This study uses special microscope imaging (transmission electron microscopy) to look at tiny changes in platelets before and after starting an antiplatelet medicine. It’s testing whether platelets show clear structural signs around the start of treatment for a specific type of stroke.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT05963568RecruitingPhase 3
Prevent more strokes with a daily anti-clotting heart pill
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a daily “polypill” can reduce the chance of another stroke after a recent ischemic stroke. It may help people by improving several heart-and-blood-vessel risks at once, but only if it fits safely with their medical situation.
ParakouAges 18–100 - NCT06673771Recruiting
Vestibular rehab for balance and fatigue after stroke
This trial tests if exercises that target the inner ear's balance system can help people recovering from a stroke improve their balance and reduce tiredness. It may be a good fit if you have trouble with balance and feel very fatigued after your stroke.

Antwerp, FlandersAges 18–75 - NCT07357987RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke treatment with tenecteplase via artery

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07575984RecruitingPhase 4
Mexidol Safety and Efficacy for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stroke treatment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 178 recruiting stroke treatment 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 treatment 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 treatment 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.
