TaipeiAges 18–100 - NCT06674460RecruitingPhase 3
Edaravone Dexborneol tablet for stroke recovery
This trial tests a new sublingual tablet (Edaravone Dexborneol) to help people recover after a small stroke caused by disease of the small blood vessels in the brain. It aims to see if the drug can improve thinking and daily function.
BeijingAges 30–80 - NCT06674590Recruiting
Stroke rehab: comparing two therapies for balance and walking
This study compares two different exercise-based therapies to see which one helps stroke survivors improve balance and walking better. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance with or without help.
IslamabadAges 25–65 - NCT06681207Recruiting
Exploring brain stimulation for stepping after stroke
This study tests whether a mild electrical brain stimulation can help people with chronic stroke improve their stepping and walking. If you have had a stroke at least 6 months ago, can walk with or without a device, and have some leg weakness, this study may be for you.
Galveston, TexasAges 21–90 - NCT06682429Recruiting
Home rehab program after stroke
This study tests a home-based therapy program delivered by video calls to help people recovering from a stroke improve arm function. It is designed for those with moderate arm weakness about 4 months after their stroke.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06696703Recruiting
Human urinary kallidinogenase for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether a medicine called human urinary kallidinogenase can reduce inflammation after a stroke. It may help people who have had a first or recent stroke and have certain levels of disability.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06700005Recruiting
Reading study for stroke survivors and healthy adults
This study looks at how reading is affected by stroke and by normal aging. Researchers hope to learn how the brain changes after a stroke and during aging, which could help improve reading therapy for stroke survivors.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06703320Recruiting
Virtual reality pathfinding study for stroke recovery
This study uses a virtual reality pathfinding game to see how your brain activates after a stroke. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05963568RecruitingPhase 3
Prevent more strokes with a daily anti-clotting heart pill
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a daily “polypill” can reduce the chance of another stroke after a recent ischemic stroke. It may help people by improving several heart-and-blood-vessel risks at once, but only if it fits safely with their medical situation.
ParakouAges 18–100 - NCT07445841Recruiting
Exercise to protect the brain after a first stroke
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent thinking and memory problems after a first stroke. It might help you keep your brain healthy if you join within the first six months after your stroke.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 40–80 - NCT06995625RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell particles for recent stroke recovery
