Tested drug for acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours
This Phase 3 trial studies sovateltide (and a placebo) in adults with an ischemic stroke, aiming to improve safety and outcomes. It focuses on people who can start treatment quickly after stroke symptoms begin and who do not have bleeding in the brain on imaging.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07661849Recruiting
Comparing remote vs. in-person arm therapy after stroke
This trial compares two types of therapy—telehealth sessions at home versus in-person sessions—to help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It aims to see if remote therapy works as well as coming to the clinic.
El Paso, TexasAges 21 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.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Austin, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT06365099RecruitingPhase 1
Brain state test for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether we can use brain scans to predict when your brain is ready to move your weak arm after a stroke. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure brain signals.
Austin, TexasAges 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.
Cypress, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07087769Recruiting
Improving walking symmetry after stroke with special devices
This study uses special devices and feedback to help people who have had a stroke walk more evenly (symmetrically). It tests if these tools can improve walking patterns and balance.
Galveston, TexasAges 20 years+ - NCT07087743Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab for walking after stroke
This study uses virtual reality to help people who have had a stroke improve their walking. It provides feedback on how you push off with your feet, which may strengthen your walking pattern.
Galveston, TexasAges 20 years+ - NCT07085390Recruiting
Comparing two catheters for stroke clot removal
This study compares two types of catheters (thin tubes) used during a stroke procedure to remove a blood clot. The goal is to see which one works better for clearing blockages in large blood vessels in the brain.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07041775Recruiting
MINT video game training to improve walking after stroke
This study tests a new video-game–style training called MINT to help people who have had a stroke walk better. If you have trouble walking because one leg is weaker or slower than the other, this training might help improve your balance and coordination.

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 Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 65 recruiting stroke studies with a site in Texas, 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 Texas?
- 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 Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, 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?
