Recruiting studies in New York
- 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.
Great Neck, New YorkAges 1–120 - NCT05194566Recruiting
Brain stimulation for long-term speech trouble after stroke
This study tests whether a form of brain stimulation can improve naming words in people who still have language problems (aphasia) more than 6 months after a stroke. It may help people find and say words more accurately during a naming task.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - 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.
Bay Shore, New YorkAges 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.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06047717Recruiting
Virtual reality navigation study for stroke survivors
This study uses virtual reality to understand how vision loss from a stroke affects navigation. You may help researchers learn more by wearing a VR headset and doing simple tasks.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21–75 - 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 - NCT06397937Recruiting
Helping stroke survivors with social needs after leaving the hospital
This study tests a program that helps stroke survivors with social needs (like housing or finances) when they go home. It's for Black or Hispanic adults in NYC who had a recent stroke and want extra support after discharge.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT00682695Recruiting
Study genetic and environmental risks for brain bleeding stroke
This study looks at how genes and life factors may contribute to a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. You may be eligible if you’ve had a spontaneous (not caused by injury or infection) brain bleed and can complete consent, interviews, blood pressure checks, and a DNA sample.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21–75 - 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.
Albany, New YorkAges 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.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06370182Recruiting
New catheter for clot removal in disabling stroke
This trial tests a new catheter device (ANA Funnel) for removing large blood clots from the brain in people having a disabling stroke. The goal is to see if it safely removes clots better than standard treatment.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 22–85 - NCT07719387Enrolling by invitation
Vagus nerve stimulation to boost thinking and learning after stroke
This study tests if vagus nerve stimulation, delivered through an implanted device, can help improve thinking and learning in people who have had a stroke. You would use the device at home for six weeks.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT05907629Recruiting
MRI study comparing blood thinners after a certain stroke
This trial looks at MRI scans to compare two types of blood-thinning medicines (one that affects blood-clotting and one that affects platelets) after a recent stroke caused by severe narrowing in certain brain arteries. It may help doctors understand which treatment works best while checking how the blood vessels and brain tissue look on MRI.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03452202Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve speech after stroke
This trial studies whether gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve speech after a stroke. It focuses on people with stroke-related apraxia of speech while carefully checking hearing, brain function, and safety with devices or metal.
New York, New YorkAges 18–99 - NCT03907046RecruitingPhase 3
Blood thinner study to prevent stroke after brain bleed
This Phase 3 study tests whether a blood thinner (apixaban) can help prevent another stroke and support recovery after you’ve had a brain bleed. You would be assigned to a treatment group, and the study checks safety and whether strokes can be reduced without causing dangerous bleeding.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04045665RecruitingPhase 3
Blood thinner vs usual care for new heart rhythm after bypass surgery
This trial tests whether using a blood thinner in people with new, temporary atrial fibrillation after CABG (heart bypass surgery) can reduce harmful outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help prevent stroke or other complications if your rhythm problem fits the trial’s timing and risk profile.

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.
