Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18 years+ - NCT06516588RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation for memory and thinking after stroke
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help improve memory and thinking in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who are still in the early recovery phase (between 10 days and 5 months after their stroke) and have some ongoing cognitive problems.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–99 - NCT06517251Recruiting
Arm-hand boost therapy for stroke recovery
This trial tests a special arm and hand therapy program for people who are still in the hospital after a stroke. If you have trouble using your arm or hand, this treatment may help you recover better.
Edegem, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT06517459Recruiting
Healthy lifestyle program for Hispanic stroke survivors
This trial tests a culturally adapted weight-loss and exercise program for Hispanic or Latino people who had a stroke at least a year ago. It aims to help improve health and prevent further strokes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT06523335Recruiting
Arm coordination training after stroke using muscle sensing
This study uses a special muscle-sensing device to help people who had a stroke improve arm coordination. You will play movement games that guide you to use muscles more effectively, which may help you regain control.
Houston, TexasAges 40–75 - NCT06526117RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke Prevention in Nigeria 2 Trial
This trial tests whether giving hydroxyurea (a medicine that helps prevent strokes) to children with sickle cell disease who have high-risk blood flow in their brains can stop strokes from happening. It's for kids in Nigeria who are at the peak age for stroke risk (5–12 years old).
KanoAges 5–12 - NCT06527807Recruiting
Stroke in pregnancy and after birth study
This study looks at how stroke affects women who are pregnant or have recently given birth, and how it may affect their babies. It aims to understand the risks and outcomes for both mothers and children.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06530537RecruitingPhase 3
Cilostazol vs. Aspirin for recent stroke with brain microbleeds
This trial compares two medications—cilostazol and aspirin—to see which is better at preventing another stroke in people who have had a recent clot-caused stroke and also have tiny spots of bleeding in the brain (microbleeds). It aims to find a safer and more effective treatment for this specific group.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 35 years+ - NCT06530693Recruiting
Improving emergency stroke care in the ambulance
This study looks at how emergency medical teams can better help people with stroke or mini-stroke symptoms. It aims to improve the way stroke care is started in the ambulance.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06530927Recruiting
Blood clots and stroke risk study
This study looks at tiny blood clots and immune cell activity in people with or without a recent stroke. It aims to find markers that could predict stroke risk or help improve treatment.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06533176Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation after stroke
This study tests a new way to apply brain stimulation called TMS while watching your brain activity in real time, tailored to your personal brain state. It is for people who still have arm or hand weakness at least 6 months after a stroke.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06540664Recruiting
Ear acupuncture for post-stroke insomnia

BarcelonaAges 50–89 - NCT06547684Recruiting

Vila-real, CastellonAges 18 years+ - NCT06548269Recruiting
Assessing stroke recovery in patients with atrial fibrillation

Early antiplatelet after clot-busting for stroke (TREND-IVT)
This trial tests whether giving an antiplatelet medicine (like aspirin) early—within 3 hours of a clot-busting drug—can help prevent another stroke without causing bleeding. It is for people who still have moderate to severe stroke symptoms after the clot-buster and do not have a large artery blockage.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06551597Recruiting

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.
