Dallas, TexasAges 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06541015Recruiting
TENS for improving walking after stroke
This study tests whether a small electrical device (TENS) can help stroke survivors walk better. You will receive TENS or placebo while walking on a treadmill, and the researchers will measure how your muscles respond.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06402968Recruiting
Clevidipine for treating high blood pressure after a brain bleed
This trial tests a blood pressure medicine called clevidipine given through an IV to people with a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). The goal is to see if quickly lowering blood pressure helps prevent more bleeding and improve recovery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT02693223Recruiting
Get With the Guidelines Stroke Registry for people with recent stroke
This study collects health information from people who were recently treated for certain types of stroke or “TIA” (a warning stroke). It helps doctors understand care and improve future treatment, and you may be included if you were treated in the hospital for one of these conditions.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–125 - NCT07430956RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation without standard blood thinners
This trial tests a new medication to prevent strokes and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who cannot safely take standard blood thinners. The drug works by blocking a different clotting factor, which may lower bleeding risks.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06517459Recruiting

Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06990867RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

Dallas, TexasAges 22–79 - NCT07115940Recruiting
Clot removal after 24 hours for stroke patients

Dallas, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT07041775Recruiting
MINT video game training to improve walking after stroke
This study tests a new video-game–style training called MINT to help people who have had a stroke walk better. If you have trouble walking because one leg is weaker or slower than the other, this training might help improve your balance and coordination.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT06430632Recruiting
Early robotic walking training after stroke
This trial tests whether early, robot-assisted walking training can help people recovering from a stroke improve their ability to walk. It uses a wearable robotic exoskeleton to support your body and guide your legs during practice.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT06483165Enrolling by invitation
F.A.S.T. and BE FAST stroke signs study

Plano, TexasAges 1–120 - 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.
Plano, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06289985Recruiting
Expanding clot removal for medium vessel strokes
