Stroke clinical trials in Maryland
We’re tracking 86 recruiting stroke studies with a site in Maryland — including Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT01875588Recruiting
Long-term study of thinking and memory in adults with HIV
This study looks at how thinking and memory change over time in adults with HIV and compares them with adults without HIV. Researchers will do regular visits and brain/cognitive testing to understand what affects thinking and memory and to learn what might help.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT00598351Recruiting
Study tracks changes in NF2 using repeated brain scans
This study follows people with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) over time to learn how the condition changes, using repeat MRI scans. The information may help researchers understand disease patterns and improve future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–75 - NCT01900132Recruiting
Measures nerve and muscle signals in healthy people and patients
This study uses a painless electrical method to record how muscles and nerves work over time. It aims to better understand normal patterns (healthy volunteers) and to learn how these signals change in people with neuromuscular or movement-related conditions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–110 - NCT02435810Recruiting
Study of infections and inflammation affecting the nervous system
This study looks at how infections or inflammation involving the brain and spinal cord work, using patient data and samples. It may help researchers better understand these illnesses and improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–110 - NCT02107989Recruiting
MRI and brain scans before epilepsy surgery
This study collects noninvasive brain scan data (mainly MRI, sometimes MEG) from people being evaluated for focal epilepsy surgery, and from healthy volunteers. It aims to build reference “normal” brain images and improve how doctors plan and interpret epilepsy surgery evaluations.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–120 - NCT02784210RecruitingPhase 2
Steroid treatment to reduce inflammation in active MS lesions
This Phase 2 study tests whether corticosteroid medicine can reduce inflammation at the edge of active multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques seen on MRI. It may help calm “hot” areas in the brain where MS activity is happening.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT02119611Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s, dystonia, or tremor
This study tests deep brain stimulation (DBS), a therapy that sends electrical signals to the brain, for movement problems like Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremor. It may help people whose symptoms are not controlled enough with medications, or who already have a DBS device and need ongoing management.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT02639325Recruiting
Seizure treatment study for people with brain tumors
This study looks at how a brain tumor-related seizure condition is handled in children and adults. It may be a good option if your seizures started soon after your brain tumor was found or is in the same brain area as your seizure symptoms.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–99 - NCT02659956Recruiting
Study brain and eye changes on MRI in MS
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects MRI scans and other measurements in the brain, spinal cord, and eyes. It may help researchers better understand MS changes over time, using follow-up visits and, in the future, donated tissue after death.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT02531880RecruitingPhase 1
MRI test of a brain barrier issue in hard-to-treat epilepsy
This early-phase study uses a special MRI approach to look for signs that the “blood-brain barrier” is breaking down in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It may help researchers understand what is happening in the brain and guide future treatments, though it is primarily a testing/study study.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–60 - NCT02629107Recruiting
Sleep and brain scan study with sound cues
This study checks how your brain responds while you sleep using an MRI scanner and gentle sound signals. It may help researchers better understand sleep and brain function.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–34 - NCT07642856Recruiting
Brain Stimulation With Therapy for Cerebellar Disorders
This study tests a combination of gentle brain stimulation paired with specialized exercises designed to help people with cerebellar conditions—disorders affecting balance, coordination, and movement. The goal is to see if pairing these two approaches together works better than either alone.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT05350774Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
IV immunotherapy for lingering neurologic effects after COVID-19
This Phase 2 trial tests whether intravenous immunotherapy (IVIG) can improve ongoing neurologic symptoms after a mild-to-moderate COVID-19 illness. It targets people with persistent symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, trouble thinking, dizziness when standing, and balance or other neurologic problems.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT04095026Enrolling by invitation
Brain recording and stimulation to improve memory
This study tests a brain-recording and brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory. It is offered to adults who are already enrolled in a specific epilepsy surgery program and can safely complete memory-related tasks.

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.
Stroke trials in other states
Common questions
- Are there stroke clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 86 recruiting stroke studies with a site in Maryland, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a stroke study in Maryland?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a stroke trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New stroke studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
