Recruiting studies
- NCT06296082RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Dry Needling vs Botox for Post-Stroke Leg Stiffness

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07231380Recruiting
Comparing two ways to remove clots in stroke
This study tests two methods of removing a large blood clot from a brain artery during stroke. The goal is to see which method helps restore blood flow faster and more safely.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07026331Recruiting
Balloon angioplasty vs stenting after stroke treatment
This study compares two ways to keep a brain artery open after a stroke when it remains narrowed after initial treatment. It aims to reduce the risk of another stroke by improving blood flow.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06775782Recruiting
Remote conditioning for moderate stroke from large artery blockage
This trial tests whether a non-invasive arm cuff treatment (remote ischemic conditioning) can help people recover from a moderate stroke caused by a blockage in a major artery. You must start the treatment within 48 hours of your first symptoms.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–85 - NCT06070233Recruiting
Radiosurgery for spasticity after stroke or injury
This trial tests a non-invasive radiation treatment (radiosurgery) to reduce severe muscle stiffness (spasticity) that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help people with spasticity caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy.
Winter Park, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT07094763Recruiting
Tenecteplase for posterior stroke 4.5-24 hours after onset
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase for people who had a stroke affecting the back part of the brain (posterior circulation). It may be an option if you can get treatment between 4.5 and 24 hours after symptoms started.
HefeiAges 18–100 - NCT06864715Recruiting
Preventing depression after a stroke with behavioral activation
This study tests if a talking therapy called behavioral activation can prevent depression in older adults who have had a stroke and have low income. It is for people who are not already severely depressed and live at home.
Houston, TexasAges 55 years+ - NCT07361302RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for stroke after 4.5 hours
This trial tests a clot-dissolving medicine called tenecteplase for people who had a stroke more than 4.5 hours ago. It may help you recover if given later than usual.
Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT06883110Recruiting
Testing traditional Chinese medicine for recent stroke
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine (Angong Niuhuang pill) made from different sources of a natural ingredient can help people who recently had a moderate stroke caused by a blood clot. It aims to see if the pill can improve recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06366360Recruiting
Virtual reality treatment for stroke-related neglect
This study tests whether virtual reality training can help people who, after a stroke, have trouble noticing things on one side of their body or space (called unilateral neglect). You would use a VR headset to practice tasks that may retrain your brain's attention.
Saint-MauriceAges 18 years+ - NCT06843356Recruiting
Rescue artery-opening procedure for delayed stroke worsening
This study tests whether an emergency procedure to open a blocked artery in the back of the brain can help people whose stroke starts mild but then suddenly gets worse days later. The goal is to see if this treatment can limit further brain damage and improve recovery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06143488Recruiting
Clot removal versus medication for mild stroke with large vessel blockage
This trial compares a procedure to remove the blockage (endovascular therapy) with the best medications alone for people who have a mild stroke caused by a large blocked artery in the brain. The goal is to see if the procedure can improve recovery better than medicine alone.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07044830Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether treating sleep apnea with a CPAP machine soon after a stroke can improve recovery. It is for people who had their first moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke and have not used CPAP before.
Ribeirão Preto, São PauloAges 18–80 - NCT06968923Recruiting
Home rehab program for stroke survivors with aphasia or memory issues
This trial tests a home-based rehabilitation program using the Euleria Home® device for people who have had a first ischemic stroke and have trouble speaking (aphasia) or thinking (cognitive deficits). The goal is to help you recover from home using a simple device and internet connection.
Verona, veronaAges 18–90 - NCT06374667Recruiting
Skull bone injection vs. IV for large stroke
This trial tests a new way to give medicine for a large stroke on one side of the brain. The medicine is injected into the skull bone instead of through a vein, and researchers want to see if it works better and is safe.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT05410457Recruiting
Study different treatments after ischemic stroke
This trial looks at which treatment approach after an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) may lead to better outcomes. It may help doctors better choose treatments that improve recovery and prognosis.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06994975RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke drug test for patients who missed the 4.5 hour window
This trial tests a clot-busting drug for people who had a stroke more than 4.5 hours ago. It uses a special CT scan to see if the treatment can still help them.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04142866Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus language practice for chronic aphasia
This study tests whether mild brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with language exercises can improve communication after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to help compare brain and language task results.
New York, New YorkAges 21–80 - NCT07145294RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell therapy to improve thinking after stroke
This trial tests whether tiny particles from stem cells can help people recover thinking and memory after a recent stroke. Doctors will check if the treatment is safe and if it boosts brain function.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06954155RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for stroke treatment 24-72 hours after symptoms start
This trial tests if the clot-busting drug tenecteplase can help people with a moderate to severe stroke when given 24 to 72 hours after symptoms began. It aims to see if this later treatment window can improve recovery and reduce disability.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06733246Recruiting
Ceretrieve Device for acute ischemic stroke treatment
This study tests a new device called Ceretrieve that is designed to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain for people having a severe ischemic stroke. If you are eligible, you will receive the device treatment (a mechanical thrombectomy) within 24 hours of your first symptoms.
HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT06559475Recruiting
Testing a new aspiration catheter for large vessel stroke
This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.

- Are there clinical trials for stroke treatment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 181 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.
