Recruiting studies
- NCT06963489Recruiting
Stroke biobank study for large vessel blockage
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people who had a stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in the brain. The goal is to learn more about the condition by studying these samples over time.

Study of Penumbra System for acute ischemic stroke
This study is collecting information on how well the Penumbra System works and how safe it is when used to remove blood clots in people having a certain type of stroke. It is for patients who are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove the clot) using this device as the first treatment.
Nedlands, Western AustraliaAges 18–80 - NCT07115511Recruiting
Surgical rescue after failed clot removal for stroke
This trial tests a surgical rescue treatment for people who have had a major stroke from a large artery blockage, but the standard clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) did not fully open the artery. The goal is to see if combining surgery with the earlier procedure can improve outcomes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07113990Recruiting
Electroacupuncture and brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether combining two therapies—electroacupuncture (needles with mild electric current) and rTMS (a magnetic pulse to the brain)—can help you regain movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who had their first stroke less than 6 months ago and are still working on motor recovery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 40–75 - NCT07107295Recruiting
Measuring back muscle thickness in chronic stroke patients
This trial uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of a specific back muscle in people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to understand changes in this muscle after stroke, which may help improve rehabilitation.
AnkaraAges 40–70 - NCT06882577Recruiting
Heart evaluation after stroke treatment
This study checks how the heart is doing in people who had a stroke caused by a clot and received treatment. It aims to learn how the heart recovers after the stroke is treated.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06772194Recruiting

This study looks at how people recover after a stroke. Researchers will check your thinking, memory, and daily function over a year to learn more about recovery patterns and help design better treatments.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06968923Recruiting
Home rehab program for stroke survivors with aphasia or memory issues
This trial tests a home-based rehabilitation program using the Euleria Home® device for people who have had a first ischemic stroke and have trouble speaking (aphasia) or thinking (cognitive deficits). The goal is to help you recover from home using a simple device and internet connection.
Verona, veronaAges 18–90 - NCT07096687Recruiting
Cooling treatment for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether lowering body temperature (targeted temperature management) can help people who have had a stroke within the last 48 hours. It focuses on strokes caused by a blockage in a specific part of the brain's blood supply, and aims to see if cooling can reduce brain damage.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07095790RecruitingPhase 4
Tirofiban plus aspirin and clopidogrel for mild stroke
This trial tests whether a combination of a clot-preventing drug (tirofiban) followed by two antiplatelet drugs (aspirin and clopidogrel) can improve recovery in people who have had a mild stroke. It aims to find a better way to prevent further strokes or worsening symptoms.
Suzhou, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT07098572Recruiting
Comparing two types of electrical stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a four-channel electrical stimulation device works better than a standard one-channel device for improving arm and hand movement in people who recently had a stroke. The goal is to help with recovery of daily activities.
Hermagor, CarinthiaAges 18–99 - NCT06674356Recruiting
Chin tuck exercise for swallowing after stroke
This trial tests a simple neck exercise (chin tuck against resistance) to help people who have trouble swallowing after a recent stroke. The goal is to see if this exercise improves swallowing safety and strength.
TaipeiAges 18–100 - NCT03485040Recruiting
Rehab study for arm weakness after stroke
This study tests a rehabilitation approach to help people recover arm movement after an ischemic or bleeding stroke. You may be able to join if you’re currently an inpatient in the stroke neurology unit and have arm weakness but are medically stable and able to follow simple instructions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT00084292Recruiting
Registry for stroke in infants and children worldwide
This study collects information from children who have had a stroke or conditions that increase stroke risk. By joining this registry, your child's medical information helps doctors better understand and treat strokes in young patients.
Toronto, OntarioAges Up to 18 years - NCT07087769Recruiting
Improving walking symmetry after stroke with special devices
This study uses special devices and feedback to help people who have had a stroke walk more evenly (symmetrically). It tests if these tools can improve walking patterns and balance.
Galveston, TexasAges 20 years+ - NCT07087743Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab for walking after stroke
This study uses virtual reality to help people who have had a stroke improve their walking. It provides feedback on how you push off with your feet, which may strengthen your walking pattern.
Galveston, TexasAges 20 years+ - NCT07094763Recruiting
Tenecteplase for posterior stroke 4.5-24 hours after onset
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase for people who had a stroke affecting the back part of the brain (posterior circulation). It may be an option if you can get treatment between 4.5 and 24 hours after symptoms started.
HefeiAges 18–100 - NCT07091045Recruiting
Robot-Assisted Foot-Ankle Training for Stroke Recovery
This trial tests a robot-assisted training program for the foot and ankle in people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The goal is to improve movement and walking by using special exercises guided by a robotic device.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 40–65 - NCT07089095Recruiting
Choosing rehab after a stroke: your preferences matter

Tenecteplase for stroke patients who recently took blood thinners
This trial tests if the clot-busting drug tenecteplase is safe and effective for people having an ischemic stroke who have recently taken blood thinners (DOACs). If you qualify, you may receive either tenecteplase or a placebo within 24 hours of your last known well time.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07081308Recruiting
Brain-computer interface with leg supports for stroke recovery
This study tests a brain-computer interface combined with special leg supports (pneumoorthoses) to help people recover leg movement after a stroke. It may be an option if you had a stroke in the upper part of the brain and have mild to moderate leg weakness.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT07083986Enrolling by invitation
Surgery vs stenting for recent stroke patients
This trial compares two procedures to open a blocked carotid artery in people who recently had a stroke. One option is surgery (carotid endarterectomy) to remove the blockage, the other is stenting (placing a small mesh tube to hold the artery open). The goal is to see which works better for patients still having some stroke symptoms.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07085390Recruiting
