Recruiting studies
- NCT06775782Recruiting
Remote conditioning for moderate stroke from large artery blockage
This trial tests whether a non-invasive arm cuff treatment (remote ischemic conditioning) can help people recover from a moderate stroke caused by a blockage in a major artery. You must start the treatment within 48 hours of your first symptoms.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–85 - NCT06777654Enrolling by invitation

This study tests if combining robotic therapy with mirror therapy can help improve arm function after a stroke. It is for people who had their first stroke 3 months to 2 years ago and have some but not full arm movement.
TaipeiAges 30–80 - NCT06763549Enrolling by invitation
AI-powered wearable patch for heart and lung monitoring
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
Melbourne, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06761404Recruiting
Non-invasive nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests if a non-invasive nerve stimulation device can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. The stimulation is gentle and applied to the ear, aiming to aid recovery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06761183RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Gene therapy for arm and leg weakness after stroke
This trial tests a new gene therapy called NXL-001 for people who still have moderate to severe arm or leg weakness 2 to 12 months after a stroke. The treatment aims to help the brain repair itself and improve movement.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–75 - NCT06763458Recruiting
Balloon angioplasty for minor unstable stroke with brain artery narrowing
This trial tests if balloon angioplasty (opening a narrowed artery with a tiny balloon) can help people who have had a minor stroke and are still having symptoms despite taking blood thinners.
ShenyangAges 18 years+ - NCT06767631Recruiting
Muscle and nerve changes after botox for stroke foot tightness
This study looks at how botulinum toxin (botox) injections affect the muscles, tendons, and nerves in the lower leg of people who have had a stroke and have a tight, twisted foot (equinovarus). It aims to understand these changes to improve future treatments.
LeuvenAges 40–60 - NCT06767657Recruiting
Immediate vs delayed surgery for recent mini-stroke or mild stroke
This trial compares two approaches for treating a blocked carotid artery after a mini-stroke or mild stroke: surgery done right away (within hours) versus waiting a short while. The goal is to see which timing helps prevent another stroke better.
FlorenceAges 45–90 - NCT06762249Enrolling by invitation
Combined therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests combining two rehabilitation methods (CIMT and Brunnstrom therapy) to help people who have had a stroke improve arm and hand function on their affected side.
Multan, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–70 - NCT06769672Recruiting
Walking and thinking training with brain stimulation for stroke recovery
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
Hong KongAges 50 years+ - NCT05930145Recruiting
Two clot-retrievers versus one for acute stroke treatment
This trial compares using two clot-retrievers at the same time versus using just one to remove the clot in an acute ischemic stroke. It may help find a more effective approach to restore blood flow and improve recovery.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT06365476Recruiting
Shockwave therapy for arm stiffness after stroke
This trial tests whether shockwave therapy (gentle sound waves) can help relax stiff wrist and finger muscles after a stroke. It is for adults who have had one stroke and have noticeable muscle tightness in their arm.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06759753RecruitingPhase 2
Aleeto for acute ischemic stroke: a randomized trial
This trial tests a drug called Aleeto in people who have had an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) within the last 72 hours. It aims to see if Aleeto can improve recovery and reduce disability.
BeijingAges 30–80 - NCT06758505Recruiting
Stroke recovery study: social activities after stroke
This study tests a rehabilitation program to help people who have had a stroke get back to the social activities they enjoyed before. If you have trouble joining in activities with family or friends, this program may help you reconnect.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06759558RecruitingPhase 2
Zuranolone for post-stroke depression
This trial tests a new medicine called zuranolone (allopregnanolone) for people with depression after a stroke. It aims to see if the drug can help improve mood when taken over a short period.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 21–65 - NCT06758791Enrolling by invitation
Breathing, balance, and walking after stroke
This study looks at how breathing muscle function relates to balance and walking in people who have had a stroke. It may help find new ways to improve recovery.
Istanbul, BüyükçekmeceAges 18–80 - NCT06752096Recruiting
Robot-Helped Brain Blood Vessel Procedures
This trial uses a robot to assist with brain blood vessel treatments, like checking for blockages, treating tumors, or removing clots. It may help make these procedures more precise and safer.
Seoul, KoreaAges 18–80 - NCT06746415Recruiting
Robot-assisted walking training for chronic stroke
This study tests whether robot-assisted walking training helps people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to improve walking ability and leg movement for those still having some walking difficulty.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 40–75 - NCT06740942Recruiting
Studying nerve system changes after stroke with MRI and blood tests
This study looks at how the nervous system's automatic functions (like heart rate and blood pressure) change after a stroke. It uses MRI scans and blood tests to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat these changes.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06247553Recruiting
Walking exercise program for stroke survivors who can't walk
This study aims to develop a walking exercise program for people who have had a stroke and cannot walk on their own. It will test a treadmill-based program to help improve walking ability.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18–80 - NCT06736171Recruiting
Walking recovery after stroke using a robotic exoskeleton
This study tests if a robotic exoskeleton can help people who have had a stroke walk again. You must be between 3 and 8 months post-stroke, able to walk with a cane or walker, and fit certain physical requirements.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 50–80 - NCT06727097Recruiting
Post-Stroke Sensory Reweighting on Walking and Balance
This study is for people who have had their first stroke and are now recovering. It looks at how your brain uses different senses—like vision and touch—to help you walk and keep your balance. The goal is to find better ways to improve your walking and balance after a stroke.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06718413RecruitingPhase 2
Study on shoulder pain after stroke
This study tests a treatment for shoulder stiffness and pain caused by muscle tightness after a stroke. It focuses on people who still have some limited shoulder movement and may help improve range of motion and comfort.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06722755Recruiting
CPAP for Sleep Apnea After Stroke
This study tests whether using a CPAP machine (a device that helps you breathe while sleeping) can improve recovery after a recent stroke or brain bleed. You may join if you had a stroke in the past month and are not already using CPAP.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,681 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.
