Recruiting studies
- NCT06010628RecruitingPhase 4
Tenecteplase for stroke 4.5 to 6 hours after onset
This trial tests a medicine called tenecteplase (a clot-buster) for people who have a moderate or severe stroke caused by a clot and can be treated 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start. It aims to see if this medicine can help improve recovery.

Mirror Therapy with Electrical Stimulation or Sound Beats after Stroke
This study tests if combining mirror therapy with either gentle electrical stimulation or special sound beats can help improve leg movement and brain activity after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke at least 6 months ago and have some movement in their leg.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–80 - NCT06017960Recruiting
Dry needling for leg stiffness after stroke
This study checks if a treatment called dry needling (putting thin needles into tight muscles) can help reduce leg stiffness after a stroke. It uses ultrasound and muscle activity readings to see how well it works.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06027294Recruiting
Blood flow and muscle function study for stroke survivors
This study looks at how blood flow affects muscle function after a stroke. It may help researchers understand recovery better and find new ways to improve movement.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–85 - NCT06045156Recruiting
Tirofiban after clot-busting for stroke
This trial tests whether giving tirofiban (a blood thinner) shortly after the standard clot-busting drug tenecteplase can improve recovery from a moderate stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke within the last few hours and do not have certain risk factors like irregular heart rhythm or recent bleeding.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT06045455Recruiting
CT scan to tell stroke from stroke mimics
This trial is testing whether a special type of CT scan can help doctors tell the difference between a stroke and other conditions that look like a stroke (called stroke mimics). If you have a sudden neurologic symptom within the past 24 hours, this study may help get a clearer diagnosis.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06047782Recruiting
MRI study of atrial scarring and stroke risk
This study uses a special heart MRI to look for scarring in the upper chambers of the heart (atria) that might cause hidden atrial fibrillation after a stroke with no known cause. It may help explain why the stroke happened and guide future treatment.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06047717Recruiting
Virtual reality navigation study for stroke survivors
This study uses virtual reality to understand how vision loss from a stroke affects navigation. You may help researchers learn more by wearing a VR headset and doing simple tasks.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21–75 - NCT06048159Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve memory after stroke-related aphasia
This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation called tACS to see if it can help improve short-term memory for sounds and words in people who have trouble speaking after a stroke. If you have aphasia from a left-brain stroke, this treatment might help your brain relearn how to remember and repeat what you hear.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06052969Recruiting
Pulse NanoMED MicroBeads after clot removal for stroke
This trial tests a new treatment called Pulse NanoMED MicroBeads for people who still have a blocked brain artery after a standard clot removal procedure (mechanical thrombectomy). The goal is to see if these tiny beads can clear the remaining blockage and improve blood flow to the brain.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 18–85 - NCT06053320Recruiting
Stroke rehab study using brain stimulation and movement training
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation combined with movement training can help people who have had a right-side stroke improve their arm and hand function. It also includes healthy adults to compare results.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–90 - NCT06053619Recruiting
Virtual reality walking rehab for stroke patients who cannot walk
This trial tests whether adding virtual reality to robot-assisted walking therapy helps people who have had a stroke and cannot walk. It is for patients who had a first stroke in the past 15 days to 6 months.
LimogesAges 35–75 - NCT06057129Recruiting
Hand therapy at home after stroke using the ReHandyBot
This trial tests a home-use hand device (ReHandyBot) to help you practice hand movements after a recent stroke. It is designed for people who can still move their arm a little but need more therapy, and who can set up the device in their own home.
Brissago, Canton TicinoAges 18–90 - NCT06057584Recruiting
Sensory and motor training for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a special training program that combines touch and movement exercises to help people who have had a stroke improve the use of their affected arm and hand. It is designed for those who still have some movement but also have trouble with sensation.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT06059872Recruiting
Study of high-intensity interval training after stroke
This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program can help people with walking difficulties after a stroke. It looks for veterans who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and walk slowly, to see if this type of exercise can improve their recovery.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18–89 - NCT06061770Recruiting
Comparing two exercise programs for chronic stroke patients
This trial compares a supervised exercise program in a special facility with a self-guided exercise program at home. It aims to see which is more effective for improving walking and daily activity in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago.
Marseille, Bouches du RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT06068036Recruiting
Telehealth program to boost physical activity after stroke
This study tests whether a telehealth program with a wearable activity tracker can help people who have had a stroke become more active. It's designed for those who are ready to start moving more with their doctor's okay.
Belo Horizonte, Minas GeraisAges 18 years+ - NCT06069973Recruiting
Using AI to spot delayed brain injury after a brain bleed
This study uses artificial intelligence (machine learning) and blood tests to find early signs of delayed brain injury after a brain bleed. It aims to help doctors detect and treat this complication sooner.
GothenburgAges 18–110 - NCT06070233Recruiting
Radiosurgery for spasticity after stroke or injury
This trial tests a non-invasive radiation treatment (radiosurgery) to reduce severe muscle stiffness (spasticity) that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help people with spasticity caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy.
Winter Park, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT06072924Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,754 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.
