Recruiting studies
- NCT07148466Recruiting

Clot-busting before or during procedure for acute stroke
This study compares two treatment approaches for a stroke caused by a blocked brain artery: doing a procedure to remove the clot alone versus giving an IV clot-busting medicine first (tenecteplase). It aims to see which approach works better and is safest for improving recovery.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–85 - NCT06653855Recruiting

This study tests if cupping therapy can reduce leg stiffness and improve movement in people recovering from a stroke. You must be getting rehab at a specific clinic in Joliet.
Joliet, IllinoisAges 30–80 - NCT07096687Recruiting
Cooling treatment for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether lowering body temperature (targeted temperature management) can help people who have had a stroke within the last 48 hours. It focuses on strokes caused by a blockage in a specific part of the brain's blood supply, and aims to see if cooling can reduce brain damage.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT05190718Recruiting
Pharyngeal electrical stimulation for swallowing trouble after brain injury

Tulln, Low AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07302854RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Clot-busting medicine for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new clot-busting medicine called tenecteplase, given directly into the blood vessel in the brain, to treat strokes caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. The goal is to see if it can help restore blood flow and reduce disability, especially for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of stroke onset.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07261553Recruiting
Exercises at home for muscle and bone conditions
This study looks at how well people follow a home exercise program for muscle or bone problems. It aims to understand what helps or makes it hard to stick with the exercises.
Konya, KonyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07151677Recruiting
Brain stimulation for fatigue and aphasia after stroke
This study tests whether a mild brain stimulation technique can help reduce fatigue and improve language in people who have had a stroke and now have aphasia. It's for those who are at least 6 months past their stroke and still feel tired or have trouble speaking.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07776873RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting medicine for stroke symptoms 4.5 to 24 hours
This study tests a clot-busting medicine given through an IV to people who had a stroke caused by a blocked medium-sized blood vessel in the brain, and who can be treated 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms start. The goal is to see if it improves recovery and reduces disability compared to standard care.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07626450Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen after stroke clot removal treatment
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help recovery after emergency clot-removal surgery for large blood vessel strokes. The goal is to see if extra oxygen can reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07185022Recruiting
Clot-busting drug through artery for medium-vessel stroke
This trial tests a clot-busting drug given directly into the arteries of the brain for people who have had a stroke due to a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve recovery when started up to 72 hours after symptoms begin.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT02795052Recruiting
Stem cell treatment trial for nerve injury
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06819657Recruiting
Remote ischemic conditioning after aneurysm surgery
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your leg) to see if it helps brain recovery after aneurysm surgery. It might reduce secondary damage and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07475949RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke treatment for unknown wake-up time
This trial tests a clot-busting drug for people who had a stroke but don't know when it started, like waking up with symptoms. It may help reduce disability if given soon after noticing symptoms.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07749170Recruiting
Stroke treatment for blockages in smaller brain arteries
This study looks at how well a special catheter system works to remove blood clots from smaller arteries in the brain after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment helps people recover better.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06837311Recruiting
Smoking cessation after stroke via smartphone monitoring
This study tests a smartphone-based program that helps people who recently had a stroke quit smoking. It uses digital monitoring and support as part of your regular post-stroke follow-up to lower the risk of another stroke.
BordeauxAges 18–80 - NCT07606807RecruitingPhase 3
New clot-busting medication for stroke in the extended time window
This trial tests a new medication called rhTNK-tPA for treating acute ischemic stroke (a clot in the brain) up to 24 hours after symptom onset. The study uses simplified imaging to determine eligibility and aims to help patients recover better outcomes.
GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT07503301Enrolling by invitation
Study on stroke recovery and limb therapy
This trial tests if a limb therapy called RIC can help people recover from a stroke caused by small vessel disease. It is designed for people aged 50-65 who have had a recent stroke and have few other health issues.
