Recruiting studies
- NCT07247838Recruiting
Gut bacteria changes in first-time stroke patients
This study looks at how gut bacteria change right after a first-time ischemic stroke. It aims to understand if these changes are linked to recovery or other health factors.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07244952Recruiting
Vojta therapy for posture and trunk control after stroke
This trial tests a type of movement therapy called Vojta Therapy to see if it helps improve posture and trunk control after a stroke. It is for people who had their first stroke within the past 3 months and have significant weakness on one side of the body.
LahoreAges 45–65 - NCT07248618Recruiting
Balance and trunk training for stroke recovery
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises to see which one better helps stroke survivors improve trunk control, balance, and daily activities. It may be a good fit if you had an ischemic stroke and are between 6 months and 1.5 years into recovery.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–75 - NCT06342206Recruiting

This study uses traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnostic tools to evaluate patients who had an ischemic stroke within the last 10 days. It aims to understand the acute and chronic phases of stroke to help guide future treatments.
ChanghuaAges 20 years+ - NCT06852209Recruiting
Brain training with neurofeedback after a stroke
This study tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to see if it can improve thinking skills after a stroke. If you have ongoing memory or attention problems despite recovery, this trial may help you train your brain using real-time feedback from your own brain activity.
BordeauxAges 18–75 - NCT03974750Recruiting
Robotics training for arm skills after stroke
This study tests whether a robotic training program can help people relearn arm and hand skills after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to compare learning and movement changes.
Yvoir, NamurAges 18–90 - NCT07231172Recruiting
Fatigue after stroke and its link to clinical factors
This study examines how fatigue affects people who have had a stroke, looking at physical and mental health factors. It may help understand why some people feel more tired than others after a stroke.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07232498Recruiting
Early ultrasound-guided movement after a stroke
This trial tests if starting supervised mobility early (within 48 hours) using Doppler ultrasound to guide care can help recovery in adults who just had a stroke caused by a clot. It may help you avoid complications and regain function sooner.
RijekaAges 18 years+ - NCT07231380Recruiting
Comparing two ways to remove clots in stroke
This study tests two methods of removing a large blood clot from a brain artery during stroke. The goal is to see which method helps restore blood flow faster and more safely.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07235514Recruiting
Anesthesia management during clot removal for stroke
This trial compares different types of anesthesia given during mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) for people who have a severe ischemic stroke from a large artery blockage. Researchers want to see which anesthesia approach leads to better recovery.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07233161Recruiting
Modified arm therapy for early stroke recovery
This trial tests a modified version of constraint-induced movement therapy to help improve arm function in people who have had a stroke within the last 15 days. You may benefit if you have weakness in one arm and can follow simple instructions.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04412187Recruiting
Study of inflammation after a new stroke
This study looks at inflammation-related changes soon after an acute ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help researchers understand what factors drive recovery and how they could be targeted in the future.
Munich, GermanyAges 50 years+ - NCT05565781Recruiting
Watch for hidden atrial fibrillation after unexplained stroke
This study uses a smartwatch and a longer heart-monitoring test (a Holter) to find an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation after a stroke whose cause is unclear. If they detect it, it may help guide better prevention and treatment to reduce future stroke risk.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 55 years+ - 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+ - NCT06061185Recruiting
CT scans for recent hemorrhagic stroke
This study uses advanced CT scans to get a better look at bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). It may help doctors understand the stroke and guide care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07228611Recruiting
Osteoporosis risk after stroke
This study looks at bone health in people who have had a stroke. It aims to find out who is at risk for weak bones (osteoporosis) after a stroke, so doctors can help prevent fractures.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 55–85 - NCT06887231Recruiting
Virtual reality and brain stimulation for early stroke recovery
This study tests whether using virtual reality (a special headset with games) combined with mild electrical stimulation on the scalp can help people recover arm movement early after a stroke. It is for people who already have some movement in their affected arm and are in the subacute phase (1 week to 3 months after stroke).
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–80 - NCT07220538RecruitingPhase 4
Ginkgo biloba for memory problems after a mild stroke
This trial tests whether adding ginkgo biloba extract tablets to standard stroke care helps improve memory and thinking in people who had a mild stroke. You may join if you are 55 or older, had a mild stroke in the last 1 to 2 weeks, and now have some cognitive difficulties.
AnyangAges 55 years+ - NCT07218276Recruiting
Passive robot study for stroke recovery
This study tests a passive robot (a device that moves without force) to help stroke survivors regain arm movement. It aims to see if this approach is safe and helpful for people with arm weakness after a stroke.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–75 - NCT07218094Enrolling by invitation
Exosuit walking study for chronic stroke survivors
This study tests a robotic leg suit (exosuit) to help improve walking after a stroke. You may be eligible if you had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have trouble walking safely.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06500611Recruiting
Sensory balance exercises for stroke recovery
This trial tests if combining sensory integration and vestibular exercises helps improve balance in people who have had a stroke and also have dizziness or balance problems. It may help you walk better and feel steadier.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–65 - NCT07205328RecruitingPhase 2
Testing MT200605 for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether MT200605 can help people who recently had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel). The drug is given within 24 hours of symptoms starting, and you may join even if you received clot-busting treatment already.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06928675Recruiting

- 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.
