Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT06954610Recruiting

BernAges 18 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06943014Enrolling by invitation
Wearable device study for activity after stroke
This study uses a small device worn on your arm to measure how much you move and sit during daily life. It aims to help understand physical activity patterns in people recovering from a stroke with some walking difficulty.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06286800Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06107010Recruiting
Robotic exoskeleton for walking after stroke
This trial tests a robotic exoskeleton (Atalante) to help people who have had a stroke and have trouble walking. It looks at whether using the device early (1–4 months after stroke) can improve the ability to walk again.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT06100718Recruiting
Detecting new cancer after a stroke in at-risk patients
This study looks for hidden cancers in people who have had a stroke and have high levels of a blood marker called D-dimer. It aims to see if a full cancer screening one year later can find new cancers that might have been missed.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT06094478Recruiting
Stroke emergency protocol study
This study tests a hospital stroke protocol to quickly evaluate and manage patients with a stroke caused by a clot (AIS), bleeding in the brain (ICH), or bleeding around the brain (SAH). It may help improve emergency care and outcomes.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05708807Recruiting
Follow-up study of recovery after first-time stroke in Gothenburg
This study tracks how people recover after their first-ever stroke (either blocked artery stroke or bleeding in the brain). It may help doctors better understand recovery patterns and what support could work best over time.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05578300Recruiting
Translating thrombectomy care into real-world practice in Asia-Pacific
This study aims to help endovascular thrombectomy for certain severe strokes work well in everyday hospital care across Asia-Pacific. You may be considered if you’re an adult with a specific type of stroke blocked in a major brain blood vessel.
Linyi, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT05494034Recruiting
Monitoring heart rhythms after stroke to guide care
This study uses a small implantable heart monitor to track heart rhythm in people after an acute ischemic stroke or TIA. It aims to learn how often hidden heart rhythm problems show up, which could help doctors choose better stroke prevention treatments.
AthensAges 40–100 - NCT05476991RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose colchicine plus ticagrelor to prevent repeat stroke
This Phase 3 study tests whether low-dose colchicine added to ticagrelor (a blood-thinning medicine) helps prevent another ischemic stroke in people whose first stroke was caused by clogged arteries. It aims to lower the risk of repeat stroke after recovery from a recent event.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05338697Recruiting

- 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.
