Recruiting studies in New York
- 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.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07237048RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Minocycline for stroke recovery
This trial tests if the antibiotic minocycline can help people recovering from a stroke. It is for adults who have had a stroke within the last 24 hours and have moderate symptoms based on a standard stroke scale.
Brooklyn, 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 - NCT05338697Recruiting
Early testing after stroke to predict recovery outcomes

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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT05507138RecruitingPhase 2
Digital therapy for depression and thinking problems after stroke
This Phase 2 trial tests a smartphone/tablet-based program to improve post-stroke depression and executive thinking skills (like planning and attention). It may help if you have ongoing depressive symptoms and thinking/executive difficulties at least 6 months after your first stroke.
New York, New YorkAges 50–79 - NCT05723926Recruiting
Carotid implants to help prevent stroke repeat in atrial fibrillation
This trial tests whether placing a carotid implant can reduce the chance of having another stroke in people with atrial fibrillation who are already taking blood thinners. It aims to prevent stroke recurrence while you continue prescribed anticoagulation.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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.
Albany, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT05816603RecruitingPhase 2
Stimulation treatment to help post-stroke fatigue
This Phase 2 study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the brain can reduce fatigue after a stroke. It may help people who are still bothered by significant tiredness at least 3 months after their stroke.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05694663Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation to aid stroke recovery
This registry looks at people with a prior ischemic stroke to see how a device that stimulates the vagus nerve may support arm recovery. If you are planning to get the implant and can follow the program steps, your information may be followed to track progress and safety.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT02328573Recruiting
Group singing for people after stroke and their caregivers
This study looks at whether group singing can help people who have had a stroke and support the people who care for them. If you or your caregiver are interested in group singing, this may be a simple way to try the intervention while contributing to research.
New York, New YorkAges 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.
New York, New YorkAges 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.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT04436042Recruiting
Hand brace therapy for adults with stroke-related arm weakness
This trial studies an active hand brace (orthosis) that helps improve hand use in daily life after stroke. You may be able to join if you have stroke-related hand weakness and can safely use the device as directed.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 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.

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.
