Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT07056361Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation for better movement in tremor and Parkinson's
This study tests whether stimulating specific brain areas (VOP/VIM) during deep brain stimulation surgery can improve movement and muscle control. It includes people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease who are already scheduled for this surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT07331896Recruiting
Attention Training for Stroke Survivors with Spatial Neglect
This study tests a strategy-training program to help people who have had a stroke and struggle with spatial neglect (trouble paying attention to one side). The program is designed to improve attention and daily function. Participation involves coming to the University of Pittsburgh for training sessions.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01894802Recruiting
Brain recording and stimulation to help control a computer
This study tests a brain-machine interface that records brain activity and uses stimulation to help people with severe hand/arm movement loss communicate or control tasks using a computer. It may help restore some control and reduce dependence on hands that cannot be used normally.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 22–70 - NCT07401186Recruiting
Stimulation to Improve Sensory Pathways in the Brain and Spine
This study tests whether using electrical stimulation during neck surgery can help improve how the brain and spinal cord process sensory information. It may offer new ways to help people with stroke-related weakness.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 21–75 - NCT07592221Recruiting
Electrical Stimulation for Foot Drop After Stroke
This study tests a combination of two types of electrical stimulation to help improve foot drop (difficulty lifting your foot when walking) in people who've had a stroke. The goal is to help you walk more naturally and safely.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07568301Enrolling by invitation
Music and nature self-care for brain injury survivors
This study explores whether music and nature-based activities can help people who have experienced brain injuries (like stroke or traumatic brain injury) and their caregivers manage stress and improve wellbeing. You and a care partner would participate together in the program.

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.

Common questions
- Are there stroke clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 55 recruiting stroke studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania 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.
