Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT05911568Recruiting
Clot-removal treatment for stroke patients with existing disability
This trial studies whether an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure to treat a certain type of blocked artery can improve outcomes for people who already had trouble functioning before their stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is confirmed early and your scans show the right type and location of blockage.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Atlantis, FloridaAges 18–90 - 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.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07491952Recruiting
Continuous Dual Aspiration for Stroke With Zoom System
This trial tests a new way to remove blood clots from the brain using the Zoom System with a continuous double-suction technique (CDAT). It aims to see how well this approach works for people having a stroke caused by a large vessel blockage.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06692686Recruiting
Testing ankle braces to improve walking after stroke
This trial is studying how different types of ankle braces (AFOs) affect walking ability in people who have had a stroke. It may help find the best brace to improve mobility.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06999122Recruiting
Testing a new helmet-style brain scanner for stroke bleeding
This trial tests a new type of brain scanner (similar to a helmet) that looks for bleeding in the brain without radiation. It is for people who have had stroke-like symptoms in the last 24 hours and have not yet received treatment.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT05691244RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours
This Phase 3 trial studies sovateltide (and a placebo) in adults with an ischemic stroke, aiming to improve safety and outcomes. It focuses on people who can start treatment quickly after stroke symptoms begin and who do not have bleeding in the brain on imaging.
Sarasota, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07095920Recruiting
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a brain stimulation device (Brain Q) to help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke 6 months to 5 years ago. The goal is to see if it can boost recovery beyond standard therapy.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07769281Recruiting
Recovering arm and hand movement after stroke
This study tests a new system called NeuroTechR3 that may help people who have had a stroke regain movement in their arm and hand. It involves training exercises that you can do at home with a computer.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Stuart, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT07085390Recruiting
Comparing two catheters for stroke clot removal
This study compares two types of catheters (thin tubes) used during a stroke procedure to remove a blood clot. The goal is to see which one works better for clearing blockages in large blood vessels in the brain.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05701280Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation plus rehab after stroke
This trial looks at whether adding deep brain stimulation (a surgically placed device that delivers therapy signals) to rehab can improve arm function after a stroke. It is aimed at people whose stroke happened 12 months to 6 years ago and who still have arm weakness or poor control.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 21 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.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–70 - 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.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04916210Recruiting
Study how stroke type affects thinking and recovery
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04928482Recruiting
Training with backward walking after stroke
This trial studies whether backward walking training can improve balance and walking speed after a stroke. It may help people who still have trouble staying steady or walking quickly during recovery.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–90 - 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.
Tampa, FloridaAges 1–120 - NCT05611242RecruitingPhase 3
Thrombectomy for acute stroke caused by blocked neck and brain arteries
This Phase 3 trial studies whether removing a clot using a catheter (endovascular thrombectomy) works better for certain types of acute ischemic stroke. It focuses on people with a blocked neck artery plus a blockage in the brain, and who can’t get or didn’t respond to IV clot-busting medicine.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–79 - 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.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06226805RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BB-031 for recent ischemic stroke
This study tests an experimental drug called BB-031 to see if it can safely help people who have had a recent ischemic stroke (a clot that blocks blood flow to the brain). The trial is for people who can get to the hospital within 24 hours of their first symptoms and have a moderate to severe stroke.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 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.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 22–80 - 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.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07172464Recruiting
Study of a new device to close a hole in the heart after a stroke
This trial tests a new device to close a PFO (a small hole between the upper chambers of the heart) in people who have had a stroke caused by a blood clot. The goal is to prevent future strokes by blocking the hole.

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.
