Recruiting studies
- NCT07237308RecruitingPhase 4
Two blood thinners compared for stroke with atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether a common blood thinner (apixaban) alone is as safe and effective as combining it with another drug (clopidogrel) to prevent future strokes in people who have both atrial fibrillation and narrowing in the arteries leading to the brain. It aims to find the best way to reduce stroke risk while minimizing bleeding.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05615610Recruiting
Electrical stimulation therapy for brain and arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether painless electrical nerve stimulation placed on the skin can improve thinking (cognitive function) and arm movement in people living with long-term stroke. If you qualify, you may receive this non-drug therapy and be assessed for changes in memory/thinking and upper-limb movement.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT07874594Recruiting
Brain training to improve sleep after a first stroke
This study tests a treatment that may help reduce brain inflammation and improve sleep in people who have had a first stroke and now have trouble sleeping. It uses a non-invasive technique called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief, repeated cycles of a blood pressure cuff on the arm.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT03545477Recruiting
Curved walking training for stroke, Parkinson's and hip fracture recovery
This study tests whether practicing walking in curved paths can help people recovering from a stroke, Parkinson's disease, or a recent hip fracture improve their balance and mobility. If you have one of these conditions and are in a rehabilitation program, this training might make everyday walking easier.
Lissone, Monza E BrianzaAges 18–90 - NCT03631628Recruiting
Mirror therapy with gentle nerve stimulation for stroke arm recovery
This study tests whether combining mirror therapy with mild electrical nerve stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It may be an option if you can move your unaffected arm and have some shoulder and wrist movement on your affected side.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 50–85 - NCT07875257Enrolling by invitation
Brain-based therapy for recovery after a left-side stroke
This study tests a new brain-computer system that helps people recovering from a stroke in the left side of the brain. It uses your thoughts to move a device, which may help improve arm and hand movement.
Buenos Aires, EscobarAges 18–65 - NCT07792655Recruiting
Hand therapy at home after stroke
This study tests a therapy program done at home using video calls to help improve hand function after a stroke. It may help you regain better use of your hand if you had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 40–75 - NCT07676578Recruiting
Virtual reality walking rehab for recent stroke patients
This study tests if using a virtual reality headset during walking exercises can help people who had a stroke within the past 1 to 6 months improve their walking. You might be able to join if you can walk a bit but still need help or practice, and your doctor approves.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07749170Recruiting
Stroke treatment for blockages in smaller brain arteries
This study looks at how well a special catheter system works to remove blood clots from smaller arteries in the brain after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment helps people recover better.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05872191Enrolling by invitation
Spanish-language tests for arm function after stroke
This study checks whether two hand/arm assessment questionnaires and tests work well in Spanish for people living with stroke-related arm weakness. It mainly involves you doing standardized assessments if you’re eligible.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18–80 - NCT03149705Recruiting
Study group of adults with ischemic stroke
This study looks at adults who have had an ischemic stroke confirmed on MRI and a blockage in a major brain artery. Researchers want to understand stroke care in people who can receive standard clot-busting treatment (thrombolysis) and/or clot removal (thrombectomy).
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT04620642Recruiting
Registry for adults treated with clot-busting or clot removal
This trial is a registry that collects information from adults who were hospitalized for an ischemic stroke and received either clot-busting medicine or a procedure to remove the clot. It may help doctors better understand stroke treatments and outcomes.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05237817Recruiting
Links stroke history to accidental adrenal gland findings
This study looks at whether certain accidental adrenal gland growths found on scans are linked to having had a stroke. It may help doctors understand stroke risk factors and how adrenal findings should be interpreted.
BeijingAges 18–100 - NCT05208203Recruiting
Registry study for recent stroke and mini-stroke patients
This registry collects information about people recently diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) at a specific hospital. It helps doctors understand patterns of care and outcomes, which can improve future treatment planning.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05281055Recruiting
Registry of clot-removal treatment for sudden large-vessel strokes
This study keeps a record of people treated with a clot-removal procedure (endovascular thrombectomy) for a sudden stroke caused by a blocked large blood vessel in the brain. It focuses on outcomes for patients who can be treated within 24 hours and were independent before the stroke.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05283174Recruiting
Blood thinner use during stroke to predict outcomes
This study looks at how people doing well on certain blood thinners do when they have a stroke or bleeding while taking them. It will measure medication levels in your blood to understand stroke severity and recovery in the short and long term.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT04118790Recruiting
MRI study of brain microstructure after stroke
This study uses detailed brain MRI scans to learn how brain tissue changes after stroke or a TIA (a brief stroke-like event). It may help researchers better understand brain recovery and improve future care.
Copenhagen, København NVAges 18 years+ - NCT03399929Recruiting
Tracking long-term recovery after brain injury or stroke
This study looks at how people do over the long term after a stroke or a traumatic brain injury (brain injury from an accident). It may help researchers understand recovery and improve future support and care.
Encino, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04824482Recruiting
Robot training to improve walking after a recent stroke
This study tests a robot-assisted walking program for people recovering after an acute ischemic stroke. It aims to improve how safely and independently you can walk during recovery.
OlomoucAges 18–80 - NCT05281887Recruiting
Study of eye changes after ischemic stroke
This trial looks at how changes in the retina (the light-sensing tissue in the back of the eye) track with vision and eye function after an ischemic stroke. The goal is to understand which eye changes are linked to the stroke, which could help doctors monitor recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04576598Recruiting
Stroke survivor program to build self-management habits
This study looks at stroke-related lingering problems and tests a self-management program to help people manage daily life after stroke. It may help by teaching practical ways to stay more active and confident in your routines.
ValenciaAges 18–90 - NCT05614193Recruiting
Deep imaging study for suspected stroke patients
This trial studies an advanced way to analyze CT or MRI scans for people who may have had a stroke or reduced blood flow to the brain. It aims to improve how scans are interpreted and shared for better care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT05044208Recruiting
Test heart ultrasound and monitoring clues for atrial fibrillation
This study looks at heart ultrasound pictures and heart-rhythm recordings to predict who may develop atrial fibrillation (AF) after a stroke or TIA. If you qualify, your results may help doctors better spot people at higher risk earlier.
TullnAges 18 years+ - NCT05630586RecruitingPhase 2
Semaglutide shot for early stroke recovery
This Phase 2 study tests whether a semaglutide injection given under the skin soon after an acute ischemic stroke can improve recovery. It may help reduce disability, especially if treatment starts within about 4.5 hours of symptom onset.
