Recruiting studies near Charlotte
- 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.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06289985Recruiting
Expanding clot removal for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new approach to see if removing clots from medium-sized brain blood vessels can help more patients recover from stroke. It aims to expand the use of a standard clot-removal procedure to people with less severe symptoms or blockages in smaller vessels.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06386874Recruiting
Magnetic field therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a new magnetic device applied to the head to help improve arm function after a stroke. You will use the device while doing exercises, and a caregiver will support you with a mobile app and video calls.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 22–80 - NCT06781385Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Tenecteplase after clot removal for severe stroke
This trial tests if giving a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) directly into the brain artery after a successful clot-removal procedure can improve outcomes for people with a major stroke. It is for patients who had a large vessel blockage and received endovascular thrombectomy within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 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.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT05871606RecruitingPhase 1
Breathing nitric oxide during clot-removal for stroke
This Phase 1 study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide (a gas breathed through a ventilator) can improve outcomes in people having a specific kind of emergency stroke procedure to remove a clot from the brain. It focuses on patients who need general anesthesia for the clot-removal procedure and have imaging results that suggest salvageable brain tissue.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT04908423RecruitingPhase 4
Xeomin to improve walking after stroke
This trial tests Xeomin (a type of botulinum toxin) to improve walking and leg mobility after stroke-related muscle stiffness. It’s for people who have spasticity (tight, stiff muscles) that affects how they clear their toes during walking.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–79 - NCT05907629Recruiting
MRI study comparing blood thinners after a certain stroke
This trial looks at MRI scans to compare two types of blood-thinning medicines (one that affects blood-clotting and one that affects platelets) after a recent stroke caused by severe narrowing in certain brain arteries. It may help doctors understand which treatment works best while checking how the blood vessels and brain tissue look on MRI.

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
