Stem cell treatment for non-lacunar stroke after the first day
This early-phase study tests a stem cell treatment for certain types of stroke, focusing first on safety and the right dose. It may help doctors learn whether the treatment is safe and potentially beneficial when given soon after stroke begins.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT05847465Recruiting
Testing body heat regulation after heat stroke in soldiers
This study looks at how well the body controls temperature during exercise after a past heat-stroke episode, in a military setting. It may help improve safety and recovery plans for people who have had exercise-related heat stroke.
Brétigny-sur-OrgeAges 18 years+ - NCT06116942Recruiting
Brain stimulation and computer training for arm recovery after stroke
This trial combines magnetic brain stimulation with computer-based motor training to help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good fit if you have moderate to severe weakness on one side and can take part in brain-computer interface training.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges 20–80 - NCT06125236Recruiting
Stroke study for large artery blockages in Southwest China
This study is collecting information from people in Southwest China who have had a stroke caused by a blocked large or medium artery. The goal is to learn more about these strokes and how to treat them better.
LuzhouAges Any age - NCT06131385Recruiting
Tracking IV clot-busting treatment for stroke in China
This study is tracking patients in southwestern China who have had an acute ischemic stroke and received a clot-busting medicine through an IV. It aims to learn more about how well this treatment works and how it is used in real-world settings.
LuzhouAges Any age - NCT03240965Recruiting
Testing changes in smell and taste after recent stroke
This study looks at how smell and taste may change after a new stroke, especially in the first few days. It may help doctors better understand and monitor symptoms related to eating and swallowing after stroke.
Giessen, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT05295862Recruiting
Stroke registry for adults after acute stroke
This study enrolls adults who are admitted to the hospital for a sudden (acute) stroke. It mainly collects information about your care and recovery to help improve stroke treatment in the future.
Giessen, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT05659160Recruiting
Triage approach for certain strokes from blocked large brain arteries
This trial studies a way to sort and treat people with a specific type of acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blockage in a large brain artery). It may help doctors choose the best next steps—either a procedure or medication—faster and more appropriately.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03642509Recruiting
Compare a heart procedure to blood-thinner pills for stroke prevention
This trial studies whether closing off part of the heart (the left atrial appendage) can prevent stroke as well as long-term newer blood-thinner pills. It may help people with atrial fibrillation who recently had a stroke or a warning stroke (TIA).
Aarhus, Central JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT04942041Recruiting
Thrombectomy for large stroke blockages at low-volume centers
This study tests whether using a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy at smaller stroke centers can improve outcomes after a large-vessel stroke. It may help people who have a major artery blockage get timely treatment, with measured effects on complications and survival.
Kristiansand, AgderAges 18–100 - NCT06194968Recruiting
Stroke treatment with urokinase in real-world settings
This study looks at how well the clot-busting drug urokinase works for treating acute ischemic stroke in everyday medical practice. It may help if you have had a stroke and are eligible for clot-dissolving medication.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT06200753Recruiting
Late stroke treatment study for large vessel blockages
This study looks at patients who had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot) more than 24 hours ago and have a blockage in a large brain artery. It compares outcomes for those who get a procedure to remove the clot versus those who get only medical treatment.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06204744Recruiting
Home arm and hand exercises after stroke
This trial tests a home-based exercise program for people who have weakness in one arm or hand after their first stroke. It aims to help improve movement and function without needing to go to a clinic.
Chiayi CityAges 20 years+ - NCT07857967Recruiting
Stiff-knee walking after stroke compared with healthy walking
This study measures how thigh muscles and knee movements differ when people who had a stroke walk, compared with people without a stroke. It may help design better treatments for stiff-knee walking.
Luxembourg, LuxembourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06045455Recruiting
CT scan to tell stroke from stroke mimics
This trial is testing whether a special type of CT scan can help doctors tell the difference between a stroke and other conditions that look like a stroke (called stroke mimics). If you have a sudden neurologic symptom within the past 24 hours, this study may help get a clearer diagnosis.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06215625Recruiting
Smart arm rehab for stroke and spinal cord injury
This study tests a smart home-based upper limb rehabilitation program for people with stroke or spinal cord injury. It uses technology to help improve arm and hand movement.
TainanAges 20–79 - NCT07854288Recruiting
Shoulder exercises with or without massage for frozen shoulder
This study compares two types of physical therapy for frozen shoulder (a condition where the shoulder becomes stiff and painful). It looks at whether adding a specific massage technique to a standard joint exercise gives better results than the exercise alone.
LahoreAges 40–60 - NCT04574037Recruiting
Predicting arm recovery after stroke
This study tries to predict how well your arm movement may improve after a stroke. It uses brain and/or nerve testing (like MRI and TMS) and could help doctors plan the best rehabilitation for you.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06244914Recruiting
Combined brain stimulation for recovery after recent stroke
This trial tests if combining two kinds of gentle brain stimulation can help people recover better after a recent stroke. It's for people who had a clot-caused stroke in the upper part of the brain and still have some weakness on one side.

- How do I know if I qualify for a stroke trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a stroke trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
