Recruiting studies in Georgia
- 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.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 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.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–90 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05584124RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation treatment for lasting fatigue after stroke
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation method (repetitive magnetic pulses) to see if it can reduce fatigue that continues long after a stroke. It may help people whose stroke fatigue has lasted more than six months and who can safely undergo repeated sessions.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 34–80 - 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.
Marietta, GeorgiaAges 18–80 - 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 - 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.
Augusta, GeorgiaAges 18–100 - 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 - NCT05983185Recruiting
Prism adaptation therapy for right brain stroke recovery
This study tests whether prism adaptation therapy (wearing special glasses that shift how you see) can help improve attention and function after a right-brain stroke. You may be eligible if you recently had a first right-brain stroke and can sit up to take part in the therapy.
Decatur, 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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.
Marietta, GeorgiaAges 18–79 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT06059872Recruiting
Study of high-intensity interval training after stroke
This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program can help people with walking difficulties after a stroke. It looks for veterans who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and walk slowly, to see if this type of exercise can improve their recovery.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18–89 - 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.
Altanta, GeorgiaAges 22–80 - NCT06655402Recruiting
Home rehab program for stroke survivors and their caregivers
This trial tests a video-based rehab program for stroke survivors and their caregivers done at home. It may help improve arm function and support the caregiver's role.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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.
