Recruiting studies
- NCT07700537Recruiting
Brain stimulation for speech recovery after recent stroke
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation treatment called tDCS to help people recover speech after a recent stroke. If you had a first-time stroke on the left side of your brain within the past 3 months and now have trouble speaking (aphasia), this treatment may help your brain relearn language.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07698405Recruiting
Advanced rehab technology for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether advanced technology-based rehabilitation can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and use of their affected arm. It may be a good option if you have had a single stroke and still have some arm weakness but no severe muscle tightness or memory problems.
Fiorenzuola d'Arda, PiacenzaAges 18 years+ - NCT05914038Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation to improve arm recovery after stroke
This trial studies whether personalized rTMS (a noninvasive brain stimulation) can help improve arm and hand strength after a recent stroke. It may help people who still have weaker upper-limb movement within the first few months after stroke.
Taipei County, TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07693816Recruiting
Finding stroke caused by small artery disease
This study looks at whether your stroke was caused by branch atheromatous disease (BAD), a type of small artery blockage. Knowing this may help choose the best treatment and prevention plan.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07690982Recruiting
Posture and movement study for stroke survivors
This study uses a device called PhysioMaster to measure posture and range of motion in people who have had a stroke. It aims to help understand and improve recovery after a stroke.
IstanbulAges 40–70 - NCT06654375Recruiting
Late stroke treatment with clot removal or medication
This trial compares a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (thrombectomy) with standard medical care for people who had a stroke 24 to 72 hours ago but still have some blood flow around the clot. It aims to see if the procedure can help improve recovery even when started later than usual.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04641286Recruiting
Tracking changes in quick recovery after acute stroke
This study looks at how stroke symptoms and recovery change over time soon after an acute stroke. It may help doctors better predict outcomes and improve care planning for stroke patients.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06559436Recruiting
Extending window for clot-busting drug in medium vessel stroke
This trial tests a clot-dissolving drug called tenecteplase given 4.5 to 24 hours after a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized brain artery. It aims to see if waiting longer than usual still helps reduce disability.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07681102Enrolling by invitation
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation to help people who have had a stroke and still have limited arm movement. The goal is to see if a specific pattern of stimulation can improve recovery more than others.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06621121Recruiting
Comparing two clot-busting drugs for stroke within 4.5 hours
This study compares two medications, tenecteplase and alteplase, to see which works better at dissolving blood clots in people having an ischemic stroke. You may join if you can get treatment within 4.5 hours of when your symptoms started.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06653946RecruitingPhase 4
Predicting bleeding after stroke treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation
This trial looks at why some patients with a first-time stroke caused by atrial fibrillation experience bleeding in the brain after receiving clot-busting medication. It aims to find factors that predict this bleeding, which could help doctors choose safer treatments in the future.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–75 - NCT07674329Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab for arm strength after stroke
This trial tests if using virtual reality (VR) exercises early after an ischemic stroke can help improve arm muscle strength, thinking skills, and mood. It is for people who have had a stroke within the last 10 days.
TaipeiAges 18–85 - NCT06674590Recruiting
Stroke rehab: comparing two therapies for balance and walking
This study compares two different exercise-based therapies to see which one helps stroke survivors improve balance and walking better. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance with or without help.
IslamabadAges 25–65 - NCT07668349Recruiting
Therapies to improve arm movement after stroke
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy for people who have had a stroke. It tests if modified constraint-induced movement therapy or mirror therapy can help improve movement in the affected arm.
Kastamonu, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT07670728Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two types of leg exercises for stroke patients with knee hyperextension
This trial tests whether open-chain (moving one part freely) or closed-chain (keeping foot on ground) exercises better improve knee hyperextension in stroke survivors. It may help you if you have leg weakness and walk with your knee locked back.
Karachi, SindhAges 7 months–1.2 years - NCT07668323RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-dissolving medication for stroke caused by medium vessel blockage
This study tests whether giving clot-dissolving medication directly into the blocked brain artery (intra-arterial thrombolysis) improves recovery from acute stroke caused by a medium-sized vessel blockage. It aims to see if this treatment helps patients regain function better than standard care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07669246Recruiting
How stroke affects body awareness
This study looks at how a stroke changes your ability to feel and understand signals from your own body, like hunger or heartbeat. Researchers want to learn more about this so they can help with recovery.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05598632Recruiting
People with atrial fibrillation registry to study stroke risk
This registry study follows people with atrial fibrillation to learn which risk factors are linked to stroke or blood clots traveling through the body. Your information helps improve how doctors predict risk and choose prevention strategies.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–120 - NCT07660263Recruiting
Predicting dementia after stroke with genetics and imaging
This study aims to develop a tool that predicts the risk of dementia after a stroke using genetic and imaging data. It enrolls both healthy adults and people who have had a stroke in the last 3 years.
Gyeonggi-do, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07663292Recruiting
Exercise program to improve walking after stroke
This study tests whether a 12-week exercise program can help people who have had a stroke walk better. It focuses on those with a slower walking speed and uses brain scans to see if exercise can trigger positive changes in the brain.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–80 - NCT07661849Recruiting
Comparing remote vs. in-person arm therapy after stroke
This trial compares two types of therapy—telehealth sessions at home versus in-person sessions—to help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It aims to see if remote therapy works as well as coming to the clinic.
El Paso, TexasAges 21 years+ - NCT07651306Recruiting
Bone Loss After Stroke: New X-ray Detection Method
This study tests whether a new way of measuring X-rays can detect bone loss in the shoulder after a stroke. The research may help doctors identify patients at risk for fractures earlier.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07652970Recruiting
Home video therapy for severe stroke recovery
This study tests whether a new therapy done at home via video calls can help people with severe, long-lasting stroke regain leg movement and walking ability. If you have trouble walking or moving your leg on one side, this may be an option.

- 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.
