Recruiting studies
- NCT05194566Recruiting
Brain stimulation for long-term speech trouble after stroke
This study tests whether a form of brain stimulation can improve naming words in people who still have language problems (aphasia) more than 6 months after a stroke. It may help people find and say words more accurately during a naming task.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT05199662RecruitingPhase 3
IV clot-busting medicine for stroke when standard options don’t fit
This trial tests whether giving IV TNK (tenecteplase) plus standard stroke care can improve outcomes in some people who have a new stroke but cannot get alteplase (another clot-busting drug) and do not have a large blocked artery that can be treated with a procedure. It’s meant for strokes with “mismatch” findings on scans that suggest salvageable brain tissue.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT05208203Recruiting
Registry study for recent stroke and mini-stroke patients
This registry collects information about people recently diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) at a specific hospital. It helps doctors understand patterns of care and outcomes, which can improve future treatment planning.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05237817Recruiting
Links stroke history to accidental adrenal gland findings
This study looks at whether certain accidental adrenal gland growths found on scans are linked to having had a stroke. It may help doctors understand stroke risk factors and how adrenal findings should be interpreted.
BeijingAges 18–100 - NCT05242393Recruiting
How daily body rhythms relate to recovery after stroke
This observational study looks at how your body’s daily rhythms may affect brain recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help researchers understand what timing-related factors influence “neuroplasticity,” meaning the brain’s ability to adjust and heal.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–80 - NCT05247125RecruitingPhase 4
Testing light or melatonin to help brain recovery after stroke
This study looks at whether changing your sleep timing using light therapy or melatonin can improve “brain rewiring” after an ischemic stroke. It mainly focuses on people who arrive very soon after stroke symptoms and who also meet specific safety and sleep/medication requirements.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–80 - NCT05260125RecruitingPhase 4
Ultrasound-guided shoulder nerve block for stroke pain
This trial compares two ways to deliver a shoulder nerve block to relieve long-lasting shoulder pain after stroke: one guided by ultrasound and one without. It may help if your stroke-related shoulder pain has lasted at least a few months and you may benefit from a targeted pain-relief injection.
BoluAges 25–75 - NCT05273216Recruiting
Study blood vessel injury after clot removal for stroke
This trial looks at how blood flow damage (“reperfusion injury”) happens after mechanical clot removal in certain stroke types. It may help doctors better prevent complications after the procedure.
Graz, StyriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05281055Recruiting
Registry of clot-removal treatment for sudden large-vessel strokes
This study keeps a record of people treated with a clot-removal procedure (endovascular thrombectomy) for a sudden stroke caused by a blocked large blood vessel in the brain. It focuses on outcomes for patients who can be treated within 24 hours and were independent before the stroke.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05281887Recruiting
Study of eye changes after ischemic stroke
This trial looks at how changes in the retina (the light-sensing tissue in the back of the eye) track with vision and eye function after an ischemic stroke. The goal is to understand which eye changes are linked to the stroke, which could help doctors monitor recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 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+ - NCT05303649Recruiting
Theta burst brain stimulation for language problems after stroke
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation guided by a brain scan (MRI) can improve speech and language (“aphasia”) after a stroke. It may help people who have trouble producing speech but can still understand others’ words.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–75 - NCT05315726Recruiting
Vibration therapy to reduce stiffness after stroke
This trial studies whether regular muscle vibration can reduce post-stroke muscle stiffness and improve how the brain and nerves adapt. If you’re in the right stage after stroke, it may help improve arm and hand movement.
Chalon-sur-SaôneAges 18 years+ - NCT05322837Recruiting
Tracking arm nerve and strength recovery after first stroke
This study follows how stroke survivors’ arm feeling (sensory) and movement (motor) recover over time. It may help clinicians better understand recovery patterns in Asian patients and improve rehabilitation support.
SingaporeAges 21–90 - NCT05323916Recruiting
Intensive rehab program after a first stroke
This trial tests whether an intensive, day-long rehabilitation program can improve recovery after a first ischemic stroke. It focuses on people with mild to moderate disability who can safely handle several hours of therapy each day.
PragueAges 18–85 - NCT05355831Recruiting
Customized brain stimulation to help stroke recovery
This trial tests whether carefully targeted, noninvasive electrical stimulation of the brain can improve arm and overall recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help by supporting brain relearning during the first weeks after stroke.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05363397RecruitingPhase 2
Adjunctive TBO-309 added to stroke clot removal treatment safety
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding TBO-309 to standard emergency treatment for acute ischemic stroke is safe and tolerable. It may help researchers see if the added drug can be given without causing excessive side effects alongside clot-busting and/or clot-removal procedures.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05378035Recruiting
DOAC interruption study for Chinese people with atrial fibrillation
This trial studies how safely and effectively to pause a blood thinner (a DOAC) for about 48 hours before an elective procedure in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help confirm the best way to reduce bleeding risk without raising stroke risk.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT05387954RecruitingPhase 3
PFO closure or blood thinners after stroke in ages 60–80
This trial studies the best way to prevent another stroke after a recent stroke in people ages 60 to 80 who have a “PFO” heart connection. It compares closing the PFO vs taking mouth blood-thinners or antiplatelet medicine, based on what your doctors determine is safest for you.
AmiensAges 60–80 - NCT05389878Recruiting
Stroke patient registry for people within 6 months of stroke
This trial sets up a registry (a secure database) to better track and understand adults who have had an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke within the last 6 months. Being listed may help researchers learn what care works best for different types and stages of stroke.
FlorenceAges 18 years+ - NCT05410457Recruiting
Study different treatments after ischemic stroke
This trial looks at which treatment approach after an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) may lead to better outcomes. It may help doctors better choose treatments that improve recovery and prognosis.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05437237Recruiting
AI test to triage stroke patients using EEG in ambulances
This study tests an AI computer algorithm that helps decide how urgently a person with suspected stroke should be treated, using a special brain-wave test (EEG) in the ambulance. It may help teams spot certain stroke patterns faster and route patients to the right care sooner.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05479006Recruiting
tDCS for arm weakness after stroke
This trial tests whether a targeted, noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve arm weakness and movement after stroke. It may help people who have significant trouble moving one arm on the side affected by stroke.
Urbana, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT05492513Recruiting
Constraint therapy for adults with mild arm weakness after stroke
This study tests a therapy that focuses on using your weaker arm more after a stroke by “constraining” the better arm during training. It may help improve how you move and use your hand and wrist in daily life if you still have mild movement and can participate in clinic sessions.
