Brooklyn, New YorkAges 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.
New York, New YorkAges 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.
Rochester, New YorkAges 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.
New York, New YorkAges 18–90 - NCT07643337Recruiting
Vagus Nerve Stimulation With Rehab to Improve Walking After Stroke
This study tests whether vagus nerve stimulation (a small device that stimulates a nerve in your neck) combined with rehabilitation therapy can help improve walking and leg function in stroke survivors. You would be one of the first to try this combination approach for stroke recovery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 22–80 - 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.
Albany, New YorkAges 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.
New York, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT06979466Recruiting
Electrical device for chronic stroke recovery
This trial tests a device that uses electrical stimulation to help people who had a stroke several months to years ago improve arm and hand movement. You would use the device while sitting and do physical exercises with help from a caregiver.
White Plains, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT06689878Recruiting
Mobile therapy for anxiety and depression after stroke
This study tests if a mobile cognitive behavioral therapy app can help reduce anxiety and depression in people who have had a stroke. If you are between 40 and 79 and have ongoing feelings of worry or low mood after your stroke, this therapy might be a convenient option.
New York, New YorkAges 40–79 - NCT06121219Recruiting
Can visual retraining after stroke improve sight?
This trial tests whether special computer-based visual exercises can help people whose vision was damaged by a stroke. You would do the exercises at home for several months.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21–80 - NCT06401564Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab after ischemic stroke
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) exercises in the hospital can help people recover arm movement and function after an ischemic stroke. You may be a candidate if you have weakness in one arm and can follow directions.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07639606Recruiting
Mobile therapy app for mood after recent stroke
This study tests whether using a smartphone or tablet app for cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy you do on your device) can help with anxiety and depression in the first month after a stroke. The goal is to see if this convenient, at-home approach improves how you feel during early recovery.
New York, New YorkAges 18–79 - NCT07599904Recruiting
Real-world study of Medtronic stroke treatment devices
This registry tracks how Medtronic's FDA-approved devices work in treating acute ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot) in everyday clinical practice. Researchers collect information to understand device safety and effectiveness outside of formal clinical trials.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 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.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 22–80 - NCT07430917RecruitingPhase 2
Testing J147 for recent stroke from blocked artery
This trial tests a new drug, J147, for people who recently had a stroke caused by a blocked artery and have already had a procedure to reopen that artery. It aims to see if the drug can improve recovery.
Albany, New YorkAges 18–90 - NCT07392450RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TAK-755 for adults with acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests if TAK-755 can help people who have had a moderate to severe stroke within the last 24 hours. It aims to see if the drug can improve recovery by protecting brain tissue that is still salvageable.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT07151677Recruiting
Brain stimulation for fatigue and aphasia after stroke
This study tests whether a mild brain stimulation technique can help reduce fatigue and improve language in people who have had a stroke and now have aphasia. It's for those who are at least 6 months past their stroke and still feel tired or have trouble speaking.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07127159Recruiting
Music listening for stroke recovery
This study tests whether listening to music at home can help with mood and thinking after a stroke. You'll be asked to listen to music or audio stories for 30 minutes a day, and we'll use MRI scans to see how your brain responds.
New York, New YorkAges 50–90 - NCT07134777Recruiting
Visual Training After Stroke: Restoring Sight
This study uses visual training exercises you can do at home on your computer to try to restore some vision lost after a stroke. It also involves a few days of testing and brain scans (MRI) at our lab to see how the training works.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21–80 - NCT06825897Recruiting
Direct to angiography suite for stroke clot removal
This trial compares two ways to treat severe stroke patients with a large vessel blockage. One way is the standard approach of first imaging you and then deciding. The other way takes you directly to the angiography suite for immediate clot removal by the doctor. The goal is to see if this faster, direct approach helps you get better results.
New York, New YorkAges 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.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT06578117Enrolling by invitation
Visual training for stroke-related vision loss
This study tests whether a computer-based visual training program can help people who have lost vision after a stroke to their brain's visual center. You must have been in a prior study with the same team.

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.
