Training programs for fatigue after stroke
This study compares two types of training—graded activity and task-oriented training—to see which one helps reduce fatigue after a stroke. If you are between 40 and 60 years old, had a stroke over 4 months ago, and often feel very tired, you may be able to join.
Mansehra, KPKAges 40–60 - NCT05849532Recruiting

Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT06696885Recruiting
Mobile App for Exercise Adherence and Hand Function in Chronic Stroke
This study tests whether using a mobile app can help stroke survivors stick with their exercise routine and improve hand function. It is for people who have had a stroke 6 months to 2 years ago and have some residual hand weakness but no severe stiffness or communication problems.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 35–75 - NCT06673771Recruiting
Vestibular rehab for balance and fatigue after stroke
This trial tests if exercises that target the inner ear's balance system can help people recovering from a stroke improve their balance and reduce tiredness. It may be a good fit if you have trouble with balance and feel very fatigued after your stroke.
Mānsehra, Khyber PakhtunkhuwaAges 30–65 - NCT07294209RecruitingPhase 4
Low-dose tenecteplase for older adults with stroke
This trial tests a lower dose of the clot-busting drug tenecteplase in people aged 70 and older who have had an ischemic stroke. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for older patients when given within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 70 years+ - NCT05708729Recruiting
Brain stimulation for nerve pain after stroke
This study tests a type of brain “neuromodulation” to reduce central post-stroke pain (CPSP) and to understand how it works and whether it’s safe. It’s for people whose pain has not improved enough with certain standard pain medicines.
LeuvenAges 18–70 - NCT07295769Recruiting
Detecting hidden atrial fibrillation after stroke of unknown cause
This study uses a small patch (M.E.M.O. Patch) to continuously monitor your heart rhythm for hidden atrial fibrillation, a treatable cause of stroke. The goal is to see if the patch can find irregular heartbeats that standard tests might miss.
Seoul, Songpa-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07720609Recruiting
Home versus clinic therapy for arm function after stroke
This trial compares video-based therapy at home to in-clinic therapy for improving arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago. It may help you regain function in your affected arm.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 35–75 - NCT07294274Recruiting
Predicting depression risk after a stroke
This study creates a tool to predict if someone might develop depression after an ischemic stroke. It aims to help doctors identify and support patients who are at higher risk.
ChongqingAges Any age - NCT07747701Recruiting
Monitoring brain blood flow after stroke treatment to predict recovery
This study looks at whether monitoring brain blood flow after a blocked artery is opened can help predict if the treatment will be successful. It may help doctors identify who might need additional help after stroke treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07746947Recruiting
Stroke treatment study for medium-sized vessel blockages
This study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from medium-sized brain arteries works for people who have had a severe stroke. It may help improve recovery by treating blockages that are not in the largest arteries.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–85 - NCT05807269Recruiting
Stroke prevention and rehabilitation program in Uganda
This program focuses on helping people who have had a stroke, or who have stroke risk factors, through prevention and rehabilitation support. It may help you improve recovery and lower the chance of another stroke.
HoimaAges 13 years+ - NCT06166862Recruiting
Mirroring and imagining movements after stroke
This study tests if watching and imagining movements can help people who had a stroke within the last year walk better and move easier.
Karaman, KaramanAges 18–65 - NCT07050355Recruiting
Brain stimulation and exercise for depression after stroke
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with aerobic exercise can help treat depression and improve walking in people who have had a stroke at least a year ago. If you have ongoing depressive symptoms and some leg weakness from your stroke, this treatment may help you feel better and walk more easily.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT06571149RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinners and clot-busting drugs for stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medicine (alteplase or tenecteplase) is safe and effective for people who have had a stroke and are taking a blood thinner (DOAC) like apixaban or rivaroxaban. It aims to see if this treatment can still be given within a few hours of the stroke.
EisenstadtAges 18 years+ - NCT07739875Recruiting
App-based therapy for post-stroke word-finding

- 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.
