Recruiting studies
- NCT06320431RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting drug for disabling stroke within 4.5 hours
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase for people having a disabling ischemic stroke (a clot blocking blood flow to the brain). It aims to see if the drug can help improve recovery when given within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting.
Sydney, BarangarooAges 18 years+ - NCT06486792RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke prevention in patients with hidden atrial fibrillation
This trial tests if starting blood thinners can prevent another stroke in people who had a stroke but were found to have a hidden heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. It is for older adults who have had a recent stroke without a known cause.
Paris, ParisAges 65 years+ - NCT06492265RecruitingPhase 2
Emergency stroke unit study for acute brain attacks
This trial tests a special stroke unit for people having a severe ischemic stroke (a blood clot in the brain). It aims to see if treatment within 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start can improve recovery. You may join if you need a procedure to remove the clot.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06522282RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Emergency Stroke Unit for Acute Stroke (4.5-6 hours)
This trial tests a new way to treat ischemic stroke patients who arrive at the hospital 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start. It focuses on people eligible for a clot removal procedure, using advanced imaging to see if this approach helps them recover better.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06690073Recruiting
Motor relearning program for stroke recovery
This trial tests a motor relearning program to help people who had a stroke more than six months ago improve their ability to move and walk. It focuses on retraining the brain and body to work together for everyday activities.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 45–65 - NCT06710028Recruiting
Using AI to improve stroke recovery
This trial tests if an artificial intelligence system can help improve outcomes for people who have had a stroke. If you have had an acute ischemic stroke, you may be able to join and help doctors learn if AI can guide better care.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06741332Recruiting
AI software to speed up stroke clot removal referrals
This trial tests whether a special AI software can help doctors speed up the process of referring patients with acute stroke for a procedure that removes a blood clot (thrombectomy). If you have stroke symptoms and a recent CT scan, the AI may help identify if you could benefit from this treatment.
Granollers, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06752720RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell therapy for chronic stroke patients
This trial tests whether a patient's own stem cells can be safely injected into the brain to help recovery after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke 6 months to 5 years ago and still have moderate to severe symptoms.
Sapporo, HokkaidoAges 20–70 - NCT06806397Recruiting
Brain imaging study of arm weakness after stroke
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
MoscowAges 35–70 - NCT06828679Recruiting
AI system to improve arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether an AI-powered system can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago. It uses electrical stimulation to activate muscles and may lead to better recovery.
Hong Kong, Sha TinAges 65–80 - NCT06878677Recruiting
Personalized exercise program for stroke recovery
This study tests a personalized exercise plan designed using data from your walking and movement to help improve your recovery after a stroke.
HksarAges 45–75 - NCT06885502Recruiting
Stroke rehab with motor and cognitive assistance
This trial tests a personalized system that helps stroke survivors improve arm movement and thinking skills. It uses a device that guides your arm and mind through exercises, and you may benefit if you had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have some arm function.
Cluj-NapocaAges 18 years+ - NCT06943885Recruiting
Mobile Stroke Unit vs Standard Ambulance for Stroke
This study compares a special ambulance equipped with a CT scanner and video link to stroke doctors (mobile stroke unit) versus standard emergency services for people having a stroke. It tests whether getting faster, specialized care on the way to the hospital improves recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06947343Recruiting
Action observation vs motor relearning for stroke balance
This study compares two types of therapy—watching actions and a standard motor relearning program—to see which helps stroke survivors improve their balance and walking. If you are able to stand briefly, you may benefit from this extra rehab.
IslamabadAges 45 years+ - NCT06949319Recruiting
Stroke Risk and Blood Clots in New Atrial Fibrillation
This study looks at stroke risk and blood clotting in people who have just been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib) that is not caused by a heart valve problem, and who have not yet taken blood thinners. It aims to better understand how blood clots form in this condition.
Esbjerg, Region SyddanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06954610Recruiting
Heart Check for Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation
This trial uses heart imaging to better understand stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help doctors decide on the best treatment to prevent another stroke.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07039305Recruiting
Building physical strength after stroke
This study looks at whether a specific exercise program can help people with chronic stroke (more than 6 months ago) who still have some weakness in their leg. It aims to improve walking and overall physical ability.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT07073248Recruiting
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS to see if it can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It might help you regain some function in your weaker arm.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07073235Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help leg movement after chronic stroke
This trial is testing if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called iTBS, can improve leg movement in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago and still have some weakness on one side.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07080567RecruitingPhase 2
Testing maraviroc for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether the drug maraviroc can help people who recently had a stroke recover arm movement faster. You may be eligible if your stroke was within the last 7 days and your arm is weak but you can still wiggle your fingers.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07113067RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Accelerated rTMS for Stroke Apathy
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called rTMS to see if it can help reduce apathy (lack of motivation) after a stroke. You would receive either real rTMS or a sham (fake) treatment over several sessions.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 40 years+ - NCT07167550RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Dimephosphon for recent ischemic stroke recovery
This study tests an investigational drug called Dimephosphon to see if it helps people recover from a recent ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a clot). It is for adults ages 35–80 whose symptoms began 24 to 72 hours ago and who have not received clot-busting treatments.

Brest stroke and clot registry for local adults
This study is a population registry that records information from people in a specific area of Brest who had certain types of brain blood vessel events. It helps researchers understand how these conditions happen in the real world and may improve future care planning.

- 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.
