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+ - NCT06970210Enrolling by invitation
Stroke recovery support program for El Paso residents
This program helps people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It includes group education and physical therapy visits at UTEP. You need to be able to get to the sessions, and your health should be stable.
El Paso, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06483165Enrolling by invitation
F.A.S.T. and BE FAST stroke signs study
This study asks the public to share how well they know the warning signs of stroke (using the F.A.S.T. or BE FAST mnemonic). It may help improve stroke awareness and save lives.
Dallas, TexasAges 19 years+ - NCT07774715Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for hand and writing skills after brain injury
This study tests whether electrical stimulation can help improve hand and writing skills after a stroke or brain injury. If it works, it may help you regain better control of your hand movements.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT05183152Recruiting
Non-invasive brain signal control for assistive devices
This study tests an assistive device that you control using signals from the brain and muscles without surgery. It may help people with movement problems communicate or operate devices using gentle, non-invasive sensing.
Austin, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT04750551Recruiting
Breathing stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
This trial studies a breathing-related stimulation method (called BreEStim) to help improve arm and hand movement after stroke. It may help people who still have muscle stiffness in the hand and arm months after a stroke.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06029062Recruiting
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the brain can help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be an option if you can still slightly move your fingers.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT04750564Recruiting
BreEStim to help arm movement after long-term stroke
This pilot study tests a type of nerve stimulation (BreEStim) to improve arm and finger movement in people with chronic stroke-related stiffness. It may help if you have persistent, measurable muscle tightness and are medically stable.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT04752319Recruiting
Breathing-based stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
This pilot study tests a breathing-related stimulation approach (called BreEStim) to improve arm and hand movement in people with chronic stroke. It may help reduce stiffness and improve motor control, especially if you still have moderate movement difficulty.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT05541705Recruiting
Treadmill training to improve weight shifting after stroke
This trial tests a specialized treadmill walking program to improve how well you transfer your weight from one leg to the other during walking after a stroke. It may help with more balanced, safer steps by training your gait pattern.
Austin, TexasAges 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.

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 62 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.
