Post-Stroke Sensory Reweighting on Walking and Balance
This study is for people who have had their first stroke and are now recovering. It looks at how your brain uses different senses—like vision and touch—to help you walk and keep your balance. The goal is to find better ways to improve your walking and balance after a stroke.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07356284RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke treatment study for blocked arteries with narrowing
This study tests a rescue treatment for people having a major stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain that also has severe narrowing. If doctors can't fully open the artery with standard clot removal, this study looks at whether additional treatments can help.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–80 - 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07768761Recruiting
Electrical stimulation exercise for lower limb paralysis
This trial tests whether a muscle exercise program using electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis in their legs. It may improve muscle strength, blood flow, or other health benefits.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT07738978Recruiting
Movement and health study for paralysis
This study is looking at ways to improve movement and health for people with paralysis from conditions like spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. It involves exercises and may include electrical stimulation to help your leg and trunk muscles work better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 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.
Akron, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05296408Recruiting
Arm exoskeleton rehab for chronic stroke weakness
This trial tests a wearable arm exoskeleton that uses your muscle signals to help rehab a weak arm after stroke. It may help improve arm movement by pairing training with this device, but you must meet specific movement, skin, and scan-safety requirements.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–89 - NCT05963698Recruiting
Closing off a heart pouch to prevent stroke
This study tests a procedure that seals off the left atrial appendage (a small heart pouch) to help prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. You may be considered if your stroke risk is high and you are already on blood-thinner medicine.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06027788Recruiting
Embolic protection during heart valve surgery
This trial tests a device that may help protect your brain from small particles during heart valve surgery. It is for people 60 and older having certain types of valve replacement or repair.
Cleveland, OhioAges 60 years+ - NCT06289985Recruiting
Expanding clot removal for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new approach to see if removing clots from medium-sized brain blood vessels can help more patients recover from stroke. It aims to expand the use of a standard clot-removal procedure to people with less severe symptoms or blockages in smaller vessels.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06368648Recruiting
Study of a new forehead sensor for brain pressure monitoring
This study tests a new sensor that measures brain pressure from outside the head. It is for people who are already in the hospital getting their brain pressure and blood pressure monitored continuously.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07494890Recruiting
Walking test study for stroke survivors with slow walking
This study looks at how we measure the effort of walking in people who have had a stroke and still walk slowly. It may help understand your walking and guide better treatments.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 30–80 - NCT06949228RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Intra-Arterial Tenecteplase After Clot Removal for Stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase directly into the brain artery after a successful mechanical clot removal can improve recovery for people with a certain type of stroke. The goal is to see if it safely helps clear any remaining tiny clots and reduces disability.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT06990867RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Improving blood flow recovery after stroke
This trial tests a new approach to restore blood flow in the brain after a stroke. It aims to improve recovery and brain function in people with a blocked large artery.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–90 - NCT07099599Recruiting
Image test for blood flow after stroke treatment
This trial uses a special imaging technique to check if blood flow has fully returned to the brain after a stroke clot is removed. It aims to improve understanding of how well the brain's tiny blood vessels are working after treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07157865Recruiting
Prism training for stroke-related neglect
This study compares two types of therapy for people who have had a stroke and have difficulty paying attention to one side of their body or surroundings. It tests whether adding a mild electrical stimulation to prism training helps improve this condition more than prism training alone.
Centerville, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07227246RecruitingPhase 3
Testing rFVIIa for bleeding stroke within 2 hours
This trial tests whether a drug called Recombinant Factor VIIa (rFVIIa) can safely help stop bleeding in the brain during a hemorrhagic stroke. The goal is to give the drug as quickly as possible, within 2 hours of stroke onset, to see if it improves outcomes.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07291479Recruiting
Behavioral assessment method for toddlers
This study looks at a new way to assess behavior in toddlers. It is for healthy children between 8 and 36 months old who were born full term and are meeting their developmental milestones.
Columbus, OhioAges 4 months–3 years - NCT00623389Recruiting

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.
