Recruiting studies in Texas
- 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07115940Recruiting
Clot removal after 24 hours for stroke patients
This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
Dallas, TexasAges 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT06451757RecruitingPhase 3
Sonlicromanol for chronic fatigue in primary mitochondrial disease
This trial tests a new medicine, sonlicromanol, to see if it can ease chronic fatigue and improve muscle function in people with a specific genetic condition called primary mitochondrial disease. If effective, it could offer a new treatment option to improve daily energy and quality of life.
Houston, TexasAges 18 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06289569Recruiting
Home therapy for recovery after stroke-related dementia
This trial tests a home-based therapy program for people who have had a stroke that led to vascular dementia. The therapy focuses on improving arm and hand movement, and it is done remotely with a caregiver's help.
Houston, TexasAges 18–110 - 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 - NCT06029491Recruiting
Studying a new suction device for stroke treatment
This trial tests a new device that removes blood clots in the brain using suction. It is for people having a large-vessel ischemic stroke who can be treated within 8 hours of symptoms starting.
Harlingen, TexasAges 18–80 - 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.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05936619Recruiting
Brain-computer device for communication in people with paralysis
This trial tests a “brain-computer interface” that aims to help people with paralysis communicate. It involves surgery to place a device and uses frequent follow-ups, including daily help from a caregiver to watch the surgical area and behavior.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–65 - 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.
Lubbock, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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.
Plano, TexasAges 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.

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?
New stroke studies open in Texas 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.
