Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06883357Recruiting
Home exercise program for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a home-based arm exercise program for people who have had a stroke and have some movement in their affected arm and hand. It aims to see if doing these exercises at home can improve arm function.
HsinchuAges 20 years+ - NCT06887114Recruiting
Lumbar back therapy for better walking and balance after stroke
This study tests a gentle, hands-on therapy called Mulligan Mobilization for the lower back. It may help improve walking, balance, and body awareness after a stroke.
AnkaraAges 30–65 - NCT06887231Recruiting
Virtual reality and brain stimulation for early stroke recovery
This study tests whether using virtual reality (a special headset with games) combined with mild electrical stimulation on the scalp can help people recover arm movement early after a stroke. It is for people who already have some movement in their affected arm and are in the subacute phase (1 week to 3 months after stroke).
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–80 - NCT06887855Recruiting
Swallowing therapy for recent stroke patients
This trial tests two new exercises for people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. If you had a stroke within the last six months and haven't tried swallowing therapy before, this may help you regain strength in your throat muscles.
Doha, Baladiyat ad DawhahAges 18–75 - NCT06892886Recruiting
Virtual reality for arm rehab after stroke
This trial tests if immersive virtual reality can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. If you had a first stroke within the last month and still have arm weakness, this might be an option.
FerraraAges 18–80 - NCT06897176RecruitingPhase 4
Cerebrolysin for speech recovery after stroke

Comparing two methods to reduce blood loss during open liver surgery
This trial tests whether using stroke volume variation (SVV) is better than central venous pressure (CVP) to guide fluid management and reduce bleeding during open liver surgery. It aims to find a safer way to manage fluids during the operation.
Chiang Mai, ChiangmaiAges 20–70 - NCT06928675Recruiting

GenovaAges 18 years+ - NCT06931535Recruiting
Arm cuff treatment for recent moderate back-of-brain stroke
