Recruiting studies near Atlanta
- NCT06655402Recruiting

Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07251140Recruiting
Swallowing study with a new microphone device
This study tests a new microphone device to see if it can help find swallowing problems in people who have had a stroke. If you are already scheduled for a swallowing test, you may be able to take part.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 40–85 - NCT06870812Recruiting
Quick removal of brain bleed clot study
This trial tests a rapid procedure to remove a blood clot in the brain after a specific type of stroke. It might help people with a moderate-sized bleed in the front part of the brain if treatment can start within 24 hours.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–70 - NCT06053320Recruiting
Stroke rehab study using brain stimulation and movement training
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation combined with movement training can help people who have had a right-side stroke improve their arm and hand function. It also includes healthy adults to compare results.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–90 - NCT06029491Recruiting
Studying a new suction device for stroke treatment
This trial tests a new device that removes blood clots in the brain using suction. It is for people having a large-vessel ischemic stroke who can be treated within 8 hours of symptoms starting.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–80 - NCT05963698Recruiting
Closing off a heart pouch to prevent stroke
This study tests a procedure that seals off the left atrial appendage (a small heart pouch) to help prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. You may be considered if your stroke risk is high and you are already on blood-thinner medicine.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05338697Recruiting
Early testing after stroke to predict recovery outcomes
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07663292Recruiting
Exercise program to improve walking after stroke
This study tests whether a 12-week exercise program can help people who have had a stroke walk better. It focuses on those with a slower walking speed and uses brain scans to see if exercise can trigger positive changes in the brain.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–80 - NCT06682429Recruiting
Home rehab program after stroke
This study tests a home-based therapy program delivered by video calls to help people recovering from a stroke improve arm function. It is designed for those with moderate arm weakness about 4 months after their stroke.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–80 - NCT05065216RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study drug for acute ischemic stroke started within 24 hours
This trial tests whether an investigational study drug can improve outcomes after an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by blocked blood flow). You may be eligible if you are able to start treatment quickly after symptom onset and have a moderate stroke severity on a standard stroke exam.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–90 - NCT05948566RecruitingPhase 2
Improving response to stroke treatment with an antibody drug
This Phase 2 trial tests an antibody treatment (TS23) given to people with a suspected acute ischemic stroke to improve how well they respond to stroke care. You may qualify if your stroke scan shows the right pattern of injured brain tissue and if the study drug can be given within a short time window after symptoms start.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06027788Recruiting
Embolic protection during heart valve surgery
This trial tests a device that may help protect your brain from small particles during heart valve surgery. It is for people 60 and older having certain types of valve replacement or repair.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 60 years+ - NCT04701684Recruiting
Fast-stroke treatment workflow study to save minutes to clot removal
This study tests whether a streamlined hospital workflow can reduce the time it takes to reopen blocked blood vessels during very fast stroke treatment. Faster treatment may help more brain tissue be saved by getting endovascular (clot-removal) therapy started sooner.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05795842Recruiting
Detecting atrial fibrillation after stroke using a wrist monitor
This study checks whether a special wrist device can detect an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) in people who recently had a stroke with an unclear cause. It may help doctors find the cause earlier and tailor follow-up care.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 55 years+ - NCT03907046RecruitingPhase 3
Blood thinner study to prevent stroke after brain bleed
This Phase 3 study tests whether a blood thinner (apixaban) can help prevent another stroke and support recovery after you’ve had a brain bleed. You would be assigned to a treatment group, and the study checks safety and whether strokes can be reduced without causing dangerous bleeding.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06094478Recruiting
Stroke emergency protocol study
This study tests a hospital stroke protocol to quickly evaluate and manage patients with a stroke caused by a clot (AIS), bleeding in the brain (ICH), or bleeding around the brain (SAH). It may help improve emergency care and outcomes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07227246RecruitingPhase 3
Testing rFVIIa for bleeding stroke within 2 hours
This trial tests whether a drug called Recombinant Factor VIIa (rFVIIa) can safely help stop bleeding in the brain during a hemorrhagic stroke. The goal is to give the drug as quickly as possible, within 2 hours of stroke onset, to see if it improves outcomes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–80 - NCT04994756Recruiting
Stroke and brain blood-vessel procedure registry study
This study collects information from people who undergo a procedure for a problem in brain or blood vessels (such as stroke-related vessel blockage). It does not test a new drug; it helps doctors understand outcomes and care patterns after these procedures.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 1–120 - NCT07189819Recruiting
Closed-loop FES system for improving walking after stroke
This study tests a new electrical stimulation system that adapts in real time to help people who have had a stroke walk better. It may improve your step and make walking feel more natural.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 40–90 - 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+ - NCT06370182Recruiting
New catheter for clot removal in disabling stroke
This trial tests a new catheter device (ANA Funnel) for removing large blood clots from the brain in people having a disabling stroke. The goal is to see if it safely removes clots better than standard treatment.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 22–85 - NCT04045665RecruitingPhase 3
Blood thinner vs usual care for new heart rhythm after bypass surgery
This trial tests whether using a blood thinner in people with new, temporary atrial fibrillation after CABG (heart bypass surgery) can reduce harmful outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help prevent stroke or other complications if your rhythm problem fits the trial’s timing and risk profile.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03821129Recruiting
Reduce recurrent stroke with a PFO closure device and antiplatelet pills
This study looks at whether closing a heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO) with a special septal occluder, along with antiplatelet medications, can lower the risk of another stroke. It is for people who recently had a stroke thought to be caused by a clot that traveled from the heart but without another clear source.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–70 - NCT07143019Recruiting
A new device for treating wide-necked brain aneurysms
This trial tests a special device (p48/64 MW HPC) to treat certain brain aneurysms that are wide-necked or have a shape that makes them hard to treat. It might help people with aneurysms that haven't ruptured or that have been treated before and are now coming back.

What taking part in a stroke study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
