Recruiting studies
- NCT06121336Recruiting
Tracking a blood marker to measure stroke recovery
This study is looking at a protein in the blood called brain-derived tau, which may increase after a stroke. By measuring it over time, doctors hope to learn more about how the brain is healing and possibly predict recovery.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06108102Enrolling by invitation
Post-stroke epilepsy research database study
This trial is creating a global research database to learn more about seizures that happen after a stroke. By joining, you help doctors better understand who gets these seizures and how to treat them.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05911568Recruiting
Clot-removal treatment for stroke patients with existing disability
This trial studies whether an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure to treat a certain type of blocked artery can improve outcomes for people who already had trouble functioning before their stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is confirmed early and your scans show the right type and location of blockage.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05884762Recruiting
Brain training rehab for arm recovery after a recent stroke
This trial tests an upper-limb (arm/hand) rehabilitation program guided by brain activity signals, started soon after a stroke. It may help people with early incomplete arm recovery improve hand and arm function.
RennesAges 18–80 - NCT04534556Enrolling by invitation
Wireless nerve stimulation to improve stroke recovery
This study tests a wireless nerve stimulation device placed near the vagus nerve to help people recover after a stroke. It focuses on people with specific remaining arm/hand movement and recovery levels at least 12 months after stroke.
Dallas, TexasAges 22–79 - NCT02900521Recruiting
Brest stroke and clot registry for local adults
This study is a population registry that records information from people in a specific area of Brest who had certain types of brain blood vessel events. It helps researchers understand how these conditions happen in the real world and may improve future care planning.
BrestAges 15 years+ - NCT05494034Recruiting
Monitoring heart rhythms after stroke to guide care
This study uses a small implantable heart monitor to track heart rhythm in people after an acute ischemic stroke or TIA. It aims to learn how often hidden heart rhythm problems show up, which could help doctors choose better stroke prevention treatments.
AthensAges 40–100 - NCT07860333Recruiting
Moving after stroke treatment
This trial tests whether starting mobilization earlier after a stroke procedure improves recovery. It may help patients get moving sooner and regain function faster.
TampereAges 18 years+ - NCT07826832Recruiting
One-hand versus two-hand training for stroke recovery
This study compares learning arm movements with one hand versus both hands to see which method helps stroke patients recover better. It may help you improve arm function after a stroke.
Yvoir, NamurAges 40–90 - NCT07822633Recruiting
Arm movement learning after stroke
This trial looks at how the brain and arm work together after a stroke, comparing people who have had a recent stroke, people who had a stroke a while ago, and healthy people. It involves three sessions of movement tasks and may include an MRI scan. It could help understand how to improve therapy for stroke recovery.
Yvoir, NamurAges 40–90 - NCT07771335Recruiting
Erlangen stroke registry: tracking strokes over time
This study collects health information from people in Erlangen, Germany who have had a stroke. It helps researchers understand stroke causes and outcomes to improve future care.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT07736885Recruiting
Hand stimulation for thinking problems after stroke
This study tests a gentle, painless electrical stimulation on specific points on the hands to see if it helps improve thinking and memory after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke in the last 2 weeks to 6 months and are noticing some cognitive changes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 35–80 - NCT07731087Recruiting
Stem cell secretion therapy for thinking recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a therapy made from stem cell secretions can help improve memory and thinking after an ischemic stroke. It is for people who had a clot-related stroke in the past 3 months and now have mild to moderate cognitive issues.
Makassar, South SulawesiAges 40–75 - NCT06690073Recruiting
Motor relearning program for stroke recovery
This trial tests a motor relearning program to help people who had a stroke more than six months ago improve their ability to move and walk. It focuses on retraining the brain and body to work together for everyday activities.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 45–65 - NCT07631078Recruiting
Transcranial magnetic stimulation plus therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation combined with physical therapy to help people who have had a stroke regain arm and hand movement. It's for individuals who have some movement but could still improve, at least a year after their stroke.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT07628283Recruiting
Telemedicine stroke prevention program for rural elderly adults
This study tests whether using telemedicine (remote health technology) combined with care at a local village clinic can better prevent strokes and manage stroke risk in older adults living in rural areas. Participants will receive ongoing health monitoring and support tailored to their stroke risk factors.
Suqian, JiangsuAges 65 years+ - NCT06100718Recruiting
Detecting new cancer after a stroke in at-risk patients
This study looks for hidden cancers in people who have had a stroke and have high levels of a blood marker called D-dimer. It aims to see if a full cancer screening one year later can find new cancers that might have been missed.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT06741332Recruiting
AI software to speed up stroke clot removal referrals
This trial tests whether a special AI software can help doctors speed up the process of referring patients with acute stroke for a procedure that removes a blood clot (thrombectomy). If you have stroke symptoms and a recent CT scan, the AI may help identify if you could benefit from this treatment.
Granollers, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07513714Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a therapy using small electrical pulses to help people who have had a stroke move their arm and hand better. It is for people who already receive Botox injections for muscle tightness and have some movement in their arm.
Foggia, FoggiaAges 18–80 - NCT06752720RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell therapy for chronic stroke patients
This trial tests whether a patient's own stem cells can be safely injected into the brain to help recovery after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke 6 months to 5 years ago and still have moderate to severe symptoms.
Sapporo, HokkaidoAges 20–70 - NCT06107010Recruiting
Robotic exoskeleton for walking after stroke
This trial tests a robotic exoskeleton (Atalante) to help people who have had a stroke and have trouble walking. It looks at whether using the device early (1–4 months after stroke) can improve the ability to walk again.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT06806397Recruiting
Brain imaging study of arm weakness after stroke
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
MoscowAges 35–70 - NCT07433972Recruiting
Brain stimulation for walking after stroke
This study looks at whether a gentle electrical current applied to the head can improve blood flow in the brain and help with walking after a stroke. You would receive a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment during the study.

Outpatient stroke care for older patients
This study tests whether older people with minor strokes or warning signs can be safely treated at home or in an outpatient clinic instead of staying in the hospital. It may be a good fit if you recently had a mild stroke and do not need complex medical care.

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.
