Home-based rehab program vs. standard physical therapy for stroke recovery
This study compares a home-based motor relearning program with standard physical therapy delivered through video calls, to see which helps stroke survivors improve movement and function better. It may be a good option if you had a stroke 3 to 12 months ago and have access to a device with internet.
Faisalabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–70 - NCT07724925Recruiting

Comparing breathing and neck release in stroke recovery
This study compares two gentle therapy techniques—special breathing exercises and a hands-on release at the base of the skull—to see which helps stroke survivors with one-sided weakness regain movement and breathing. It may be a good fit if you're still recovering from a first stroke months ago and don't have major heart or lung problems.
AfyonkarahisarAges 18–84 - NCT06633809Recruiting
Treating minor stroke with large artery blockage
This study tests whether a specific treatment (likely endovascular therapy) helps people who have a minor stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment within 24 hours of your stroke to try to improve your recovery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06516588RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation for memory and thinking after stroke
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help improve memory and thinking in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who are still in the early recovery phase (between 10 days and 5 months after their stroke) and have some ongoing cognitive problems.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–99 - NCT07720622Recruiting
Motor learning vs muscle stimulation after stroke
This study compares two different therapies to help people regain movement after a recent stroke. It tests whether a motor relearning program or electric muscle stimulation works better for improving arm and leg function.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–65 - NCT07719517Recruiting
Morning activities to boost mood after stroke
This study tests if doing simple, guided activities in the morning can help improve your mood after a stroke. If you often feel down and have trouble getting going in the morning, this program might offer a way to feel better.
Hong KongAges 18 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 - NCT07716475Recruiting
Home gait training with a hip robot for stroke recovery
This trial tests a wearable hip robot to help people with stroke walk better at home. It may improve your gait and daily movement.
Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19–80 - NCT06109324Recruiting
Robotic exercises for sensory and cognitive recovery after stroke
This study tests whether robotic exercises can improve sensory and cognitive abilities in people who recently had a stroke. It may help you regain better function in your daily activities.
FlorenceAges 18–85 - NCT06639737Recruiting
Optimizing blood volume before surgery using heart ultrasound
This trial tests whether using a heart ultrasound before surgery can help doctors better manage your blood volume. If you are having surgery under general anesthesia and have a higher risk of heart problems, this study may help improve your safety.
Caen, NormandyAges 18–99 - NCT06457217Recruiting
MRSI for minor stroke with large artery blockage
This study uses a special MRI technique (called MRSI) to look at brain chemistry in people who have had a minor stroke due to a blocked large artery. The goal is to see if the scan can help doctors better understand the stroke and guide treatment decisions.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT07698951Recruiting
Testing a new device to close PFO after stroke

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,681 recruiting stroke studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- 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.
