ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05849896Recruiting
Tests how muscle-monitor signals work after stroke rehab
This study checks how well a device’s surface muscle signals (recorded on the skin) match what happens during post-stroke rehabilitation tasks. It may help improve how rehab progress is measured, using information from both healthy participants and people after a first stroke.
LuganoAges 18–99 - NCT05853952Recruiting
Non-invasive brain stimulation to aid stroke rehab
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation device used alongside stroke rehabilitation can improve recovery after stroke. It may help people regain function during a phase when stroke effects have stabilized but recovery is still possible.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Las PalmasAges 18 years+ - NCT05864638Recruiting
Registry study of clot-removal treatment for acute stroke
This study records outcomes for people having an acute ischemic stroke treated with an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure. It may help doctors understand how clot-removal treatment works in different patients and hospitals.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT05866003Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus hand training after stroke
This trial tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and structured hand practice can improve hand movement for people recovering from stroke. It may help because the training targets upper-limb function while using therapy intended to support recovery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21–90 - NCT05878223Recruiting
Testing different shockwave doses for ankle stiffness after stroke
This study compares different doses of shockwave treatment to reduce ankle muscle tightness (spasticity) after stroke. If you have persistent ankle stiffness and can safely receive the treatment, your results may help find the best dose for symptom relief.
HsinchuAges 20 years+ - NCT05885295Recruiting
Testing thinking and memory after stroke using cognitive exams
This study looks at how thinking and memory change after a stroke using short cognitive tests. It may help researchers better understand which brain changes affect thinking, and how to measure them accurately.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05892510RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tenecteplase after clot removal for no-reflow stroke
This trial tests whether giving tenecteplase directly into the brain artery after a thrombectomy can improve outcomes when blood flow doesn’t fully return (“no-reflow”) in an emergency stroke. It may help some people by reducing ongoing clot-related blockage after the main clot is removed.
Gold Coast, QueenslandAges 18 years+ - NCT05892965Recruiting
Instant-message online therapy for early post-stroke depression
This study tests whether brief online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered through instant messages can reduce depression symptoms after a stroke. It may help if your depression started after your stroke and you have mild to moderately severe symptoms.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05897645Recruiting
MRI study of artery plaque after recent stroke
This trial uses special brain MRI to look closely at plaque in certain brain arteries after an ischemic stroke (when a blood vessel is blocked). It may help researchers better understand which plaques are most dangerous soon after stroke.
ShenyangAges 40 years+ - NCT05898542Recruiting
Nature-based therapy for stroke recovery in rehab wards
This trial studies whether nature-based activities (like time outdoors or nature-focused programs) can improve recovery after a stroke. It’s aimed at people who are currently in a stroke rehabilitation setting soon after their stroke.
LahtiAges 18 years+ - NCT05902195Recruiting
Improve work ability for young adults after stroke
This study aims to help young adults who have had a stroke improve their ability to work. It may help people get back to work and manage daily function after stroke.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05902910Recruiting
Robot therapy to improve arm movement after long-term stroke
This trial tests whether a therapy robot (the Luna EMG rehabilitation robot) can improve arm movement and be acceptable to use for people with chronic stroke. It focuses on helping the arm recover function over time and seeing how well patients tolerate the approach.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT05903235Recruiting
