Blood flow in the brain after lacunar stroke
This study looks at how well-controlled blood pressure and diabetes affect blood flow in the brain after a small type of stroke called lacunar stroke.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18 years+ - NCT06358313RecruitingPhase 3
Clopidogrel with statins for small vessel stroke
This study tests if combining the blood thinner clopidogrel with either atorvastatin or rosuvastatin (both cholesterol-lowering drugs) works better for people who have had a mild first-time stroke in the small blood vessels of the brain. The goal is to find a safe and effective treatment regimen.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–75 - NCT06360120RecruitingPhase 3
Clopidogrel plus a statin for large-vessel stroke recovery
This study tests whether adding clopidogrel (a blood thinner) to atorvastatin or rosuvastatin (cholesterol-lowering drugs) helps people who had a first-time large-vessel ischemic stroke. It aims to find the best way to prevent another stroke.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–75 - NCT06365099RecruitingPhase 1
Brain state test for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether we can use brain scans to predict when your brain is ready to move your weak arm after a stroke. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure brain signals.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06365476Recruiting
Shockwave therapy for arm stiffness after stroke
This trial tests whether shockwave therapy (gentle sound waves) can help relax stiff wrist and finger muscles after a stroke. It is for adults who have had one stroke and have noticeable muscle tightness in their arm.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06368193Recruiting
Neuralert Stroke Monitor Pilot Study
This pilot study tests a new stroke-detection device for patients at high risk of stroke while in the hospital, especially after heart or blood vessel surgery. The device monitors for signs of stroke so doctors can respond quickly.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 22 years+ - NCT06369051Recruiting
Helping young stroke survivors start their own business
This trial tests a program to help young adults who had a stroke and are currently unemployed start their own business. It aims to understand if support can help them return to work through self-employment.
Hong KongAges 18–64 - NCT06380049Recruiting
Predicting fall risk after stroke with sensors and AI
This study uses special sensors and machine learning to predict fall risk in people who recently had a stroke. It aims to help you and your care team take steps to prevent falls.
Seoul, JongnoAges 19 years+ - NCT06381388Recruiting
Brain connection study for arm recovery after stroke
This study looks at how the two sides of your brain work together to help your arm recover after a stroke. It uses brain stimulation (TMS) and MRI scans to understand brain healing and may help guide future treatments.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06386874Recruiting
Magnetic field therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a new magnetic device applied to the head to help improve arm function after a stroke. You will use the device while doing exercises, and a caregiver will support you with a mobile app and video calls.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 22–80 - NCT06386510Recruiting
Nerve stimulation to improve arm function after stroke
This trial tests whether stimulating certain nerves in the head can help improve arm movement and brain recovery in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It may be an option if you still have some arm movement but are not currently in rehab.
Laval, QuebecAges 18–85 - NCT06388148Recruiting
Clot removal for very large strokes
This trial tests a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain (mechanical thrombectomy) for people who have a very large stroke. It aims to see if removing the clot can improve recovery, even for those with severe strokes.
Hengyang, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06391086Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for arm recovery after recent stroke
This study tests if focused ultrasound (a noninvasive sound wave therapy) can help improve arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It is for people whose stroke occurred within the last three months and who still have some arm weakness.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06392945Recruiting
Walking and thinking training with music for chronic stroke recovery
This trial tests whether adding a rhythmic beat (like a metronome or music) to walking while doing thinking tasks can improve walking after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk a short distance.
TaipeiAges 20–85 - NCT06394180Recruiting
Study of perforations during clot removal for stroke
This trial looks at what happens when a hole (perforation) occurs in a brain artery during clot removal for stroke. It compares patients who had this complication to those who did not, to understand how to better manage it.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT06397937Recruiting
Helping stroke survivors with social needs after leaving the hospital
This study tests a program that helps stroke survivors with social needs (like housing or finances) when they go home. It's for Black or Hispanic adults in NYC who had a recent stroke and want extra support after discharge.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT06401564Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab after ischemic stroke
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) exercises in the hospital can help people recover arm movement and function after an ischemic stroke. You may be a candidate if you have weakness in one arm and can follow directions.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06403267RecruitingPhase 2
Testing NoNO-42 for moderate to severe ischemic stroke
This study tests a new drug called NoNO-42 for people having a moderate to severe ischemic stroke. You can join if you get clot-busting medicine within 4.5 hours of your stroke and may also have a procedure to remove the clot.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–90 - NCT06403475Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for aphasia after stroke
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the skin of the ear (called tVNS) can help improve word finding in people with aphasia after a stroke. You will use a computer speech program while receiving the stimulation or a placebo.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,747 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.
