Edison, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05653141Recruiting
Study for thinking problems after a first stroke
This trial looks at treatments or approaches to improve thinking and memory problems after a first stroke. You may be eligible if your stroke was in the front part of the brain, confirmed by MRI, and you enroll within 10 days.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05659160Recruiting
Triage approach for certain strokes from blocked large brain arteries
This trial studies a way to sort and treat people with a specific type of acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blockage in a large brain artery). It may help doctors choose the best next steps—either a procedure or medication—faster and more appropriately.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05679024RecruitingPhase 3
Apixaban to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation and kidney failure
This trial tests apixaban (a blood thinner) to prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter who have very poor kidney function or are on dialysis. If you qualify, you may help researchers find a safer way to lower stroke risk for this higher-risk group.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT05683873Recruiting
Study of heart stress after stroke using a blood marker
This study looks at how heart function changes soon after a new stroke, and whether a blood marker called GDF-15 can help explain or predict that change. It may help doctors better monitor heart stress after stroke and tailor care sooner.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05685069Recruiting
Studying stroke risk factors in people with silent brain infarcts
This study looks for what may have caused “silent” mini-strokes in the brain that were found on MRI, and which risk factors might be changeable. It may help doctors better understand how to prevent future stroke in people who have no clear stroke symptoms from the finding.
ToursAges 16 years+ - NCT05686642RecruitingPhase 2
Drug LT3001 for sudden stroke symptoms within 24 hours
This Phase 2 study tests LT3001 to improve recovery after an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by blocked blood flow). It is designed for people who can be treated within 24 hours of symptom onset and who meet specific safety and health requirements.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05697575Recruiting
Staphylokinase during stroke blood-flow treatment
This trial studies using a medication called non-immunogenic staphylokinase as part of standard clot-busting treatment for an acute ischemic stroke. It may help clinicians improve blood flow after the stroke using an approach designed to be less likely to trigger immune reactions.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–85 - NCT05727111Recruiting
Home therapy program for people with long-term stroke
This trial tests a structured therapy program done at home to help with movement after chronic stroke. It may help if you have lasting arm/hand problems and can follow simple instructions with a caregiver’s daily support.
BrusselsAges 18–100 - NCT05727930Recruiting
Early walking rehab trial after stroke using treadmill training
This trial studies a more intensive, early walking exercise program after a stroke. It may help improve walking speed, balance, and the ability to move safely with less support.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–85 - NCT05728229Recruiting
Nutrition program for fatigue after stroke
This study looks at whether a nutrition approach can reduce fatigue in people after a stroke. It will compare the effects of diet-related support during recovery, aiming to help you feel less tired and more active.
Roma, RMAges 55 years+ - NCT05728333RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tirofiban or alteplase before clot removal in stroke
This trial tests whether giving either tirofiban or alteplase through a vein before a mechanical clot-removal procedure works better for an acute ischemic stroke. It may help improve how well blood flow returns and how much recovery patients can have after treatment.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05741593Recruiting
Interview study for older adults after ischemic stroke
This study talks with people age 65+ who were hospitalized for an ischemic stroke and are already on blood-thinning medicines to learn about their experiences. The interviews may help improve how pharmacists support patients after stroke.
VilleurbanneAges 65–100 - NCT05741905Recruiting
Levofloxacin antibiotic with IV clot-busting for acute stroke
This trial tests whether adding the antibiotic levofloxacin to standard IV clot-busting treatment is safe and improves outcomes after an acute ischemic stroke. It may help by reducing complications related to infection or inflammation, but you must meet specific heart, liver, kidney, and medication-safety rules.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT05746260Recruiting
Testing sleep timing to improve arm learning after stroke
This study looks at how sleep may affect how well people relearn arm movements after a stroke. If you’re within a month of a stroke that affected your arm, your participation could help researchers understand better ways to support recovery.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT05756257Recruiting
MRI study of blood pressure swings after ischemic stroke
This trial looks at whether changes in blood pressure after an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by blocked blood flow) are linked to recovery and outcomes. You may be asked to have MRI scans soon after arriving to help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05760885RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Multisensory training to improve standing balance after stroke
This early-stage study tests a multisensory therapy to help people with ongoing balance problems stand more safely after a stroke. It may help your balance by giving targeted feedback to the foot and ankle while you practice standing.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT05779215Recruiting
Registry for acute stroke with blocked brain arteries
This study records information about people who have a new acute ischemic stroke caused by a blockage in a larger or medium-sized brain artery. It may help doctors better understand outcomes and care for this stroke type, using data from many patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05785156Recruiting
Quick test study to predict stroke and memory disease outlook
This study tests quick new methods to measure “slowed actions” in people with stroke or memory-related brain conditions. The goal is to see whether these quick tests can help predict future outcomes and guide care.
AmiensAges 40–85 - NCT05789823RecruitingPhase 2
Balloon post-treatment after clot removal in stroke
This trial tests whether a special balloon treatment started after successful clot removal can improve recovery after an acute stroke. It may help some people by protecting the brain during the procedure and early aftermath.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05793177Recruiting
Monitoring light movement after stroke rehabilitation
This study checks whether tracking sitting time and light activity after stroke is helpful for recovery during rehabilitation. You would be monitored for daily movement, and the researchers want to see how activity patterns relate to recovery.
RoskildeAges Any age - NCT05795842Recruiting
Detecting atrial fibrillation after stroke using a wrist monitor
This study checks whether a special wrist device can detect an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) in people who recently had a stroke with an unclear cause. It may help doctors find the cause earlier and tailor follow-up care.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 55 years+ - NCT05799326Recruiting
