This trial tests a capsaicin spray applied inside the nose to stimulate a nerve cluster behind the nose, which may help improve blood flow in people having a moderate to severe stroke within the last 24 hours.
Aguascalientes, AguascalientesAges 18 years+ - NCT07405762Recruiting
Stroke recovery after blood clot removal: brain blood flow study
This trial looks at how blood flow and brain activity change in the first days after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the front part of the brain. It tests if certain patterns can help predict recovery after a procedure to remove the clot.
Xi'an, Shan'xiAges 18–85 - NCT07404852Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for reducing inflammation after stroke
This trial tests whether a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve can reduce inflammation and brain injury after a stroke caused by a large blood clot.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–99 - NCT07400939Recruiting
Brain stimulation and hand movement training for stroke recovery
This trial tests if combining brain stimulation with watching hand movements can improve hand function in people who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago. It may help you regain better use of your affected hand.
Kota Kinabalu, SabahAges 18–59 - NCT07407023Recruiting
Robotic hand therapy after recent stroke
This trial is testing a glove-like device to help people who had a recent stroke (2 days to 2 months ago) regain movement and feeling in their hand. It may be a good fit if your hand muscles are very weak and you can comfortably wear the device.
Milford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06754566Recruiting
Caregiver-assisted rehab with strategy training for stroke recovery
This trial tests a program where your caregiver helps you with rehabilitation exercises and strategy training to improve recovery after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you have mild to moderate disability and can participate with a healthy caregiver.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07392450RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TAK-755 for adults with acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests if TAK-755 can help people who have had a moderate to severe stroke within the last 24 hours. It aims to see if the drug can improve recovery by protecting brain tissue that is still salvageable.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07396337RecruitingPhase 2
Study of QHRD106 injection for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests an investigational drug, QHRD106, given as an injection for people who have had a moderate-to-severe acute ischemic stroke. It aims to see if the drug can help recovery when given within 24 hours after the stroke starts, and it is for patients who are not receiving standard clot-busting treatment.

Study of a clot-busting drug before thrombectomy for stroke
This trial tests giving a clot-dissolving medicine (rhPro-UK) through a vein before a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain. It is for people who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours ago and are already scheduled for clot removal. The goal is to see if the medicine helps improve blood flow and outcomes.

TaichungAges 20–80 - NCT07380490Recruiting
Comparing two heart-opening closure devices after a stroke or TIA
This trial compares two devices that close a small opening in the heart called a PFO, which can let clots pass and cause strokes. If you've had a stroke or mini-stroke with no other cause, this study might help prevent future ones.

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.
