Recruiting studies
- NCT06591338RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin plus ticagrelor or clopidogrel for minor stroke
This trial tests whether adding aspirin to either ticagrelor or clopidogrel (two antiplatelet medicines) can help prevent another stroke in people who recently had a minor stroke or TIA affecting a large brain artery. It is for people who started antiplatelet treatment within 24 hours of their symptoms.
Kafr ash ShaykhAges 18–75 - NCT06589297Recruiting
Body composition and acute stroke study

This study tests a special cycling exercise program designed to help people who have had a stroke regain arm and leg movement. It aims to see if this focused cycling therapy can improve recovery and reduce healthcare costs.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT06591377RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin plus a second drug for minor stroke or TIA
This trial tests whether adding ticagrelor or cilostazol to aspirin is better than aspirin alone for preventing another stroke. It is for patients who recently had a minor stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) caused by a blockage in a large artery.
CairoAges 18–75 - NCT06265766Recruiting

This trial tests a type of brain stimulation (called cTBS) to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It is designed for people who have weakness in one arm due to a first stroke and can start treatment within 21 days.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT06381388Recruiting
Brain connection study for arm recovery after stroke
This study looks at how the two sides of your brain work together to help your arm recover after a stroke. It uses brain stimulation (TMS) and MRI scans to understand brain healing and may help guide future treatments.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06571149RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinners and clot-busting drugs for stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medicine (alteplase or tenecteplase) is safe and effective for people who have had a stroke and are taking a blood thinner (DOAC) like apixaban or rivaroxaban. It aims to see if this treatment can still be given within a few hours of the stroke.
EisenstadtAges 18 years+ - NCT06578117Enrolling by invitation
Visual training for stroke-related vision loss
This study tests whether a computer-based visual training program can help people who have lost vision after a stroke to their brain's visual center. You must have been in a prior study with the same team.
Rochester, New YorkAges 21–75 - NCT06576089Recruiting
Stroke recovery rehab trial testing Maraviroc vs. placebo
This trial tests if the drug Maraviroc (compared to a placebo) can improve stroke recovery when added to standard rehabilitation. It is for people who have had a specific type of stroke (ischemic anterior circulation) and have weakness on one side of the body, and are already in inpatient rehab.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06575907Enrolling by invitation
Life after stroke in Finland: health, work, and services
This study looks at how stroke affects your health, daily life, work, and use of social and health services. It aims to understand your experiences and needs after a stroke, so services can be improved.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 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+ - NCT06559241RecruitingPhase 3
Arm or leg cuff treatment for large clot stroke recovery
This trial tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment (repeated inflation of a blood pressure cuff on your arm or leg) can help people recover better after a stroke caused by a large clot. You must be having a mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) within 24 hours of your stroke.
Suzhou, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06551727Enrolling by invitation
Stroke progression treatment: blood pressure and antiplatelet therapy
This trial tests a combination of blood pressure control and antiplatelet therapy for people whose stroke symptoms are getting worse. It is looking for those without a large brain artery clot or heart-related cause.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06555016Recruiting
Balance training intensity after stroke
This study tests different levels of balance training in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It aims to find the best exercise intensity to improve balance and prevent falls.
Toronto, OntarioAges 20 years+ - NCT06554665Recruiting
High-Intensity Interval Training for Stroke Recovery
This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program—short bursts of intense exercise with rest periods—can help improve walking, balance, and daily function in people who have had a stroke. It is for adults who are 50 to 80 years old, had their first stroke 1 to 5 years ago, and can walk at least 10 meters on their own.
KowloonAges 50–80 - NCT06315231RecruitingPhase 2
Stroke Recovery Thinking Trial for Recent Stroke Patients
This study tests an under-the-tongue tablet (edaravone dexborneol) to help thinking and memory problems that can happen after an ischemic stroke. It may help people who recently had a stroke and now have trouble with attention, memory, or planning.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 40–80 - NCT06547827Recruiting
Robot-assisted rehab for stroke recovery
This study compares standard rehabilitation with therapy that uses robots and other digital tools to help people regain movement after a stroke. It's for people who had a first stroke within the last 6 months and have some arm, leg, or balance problems.
AcerenzaAges 18 years+ - NCT06548971RecruitingPhase 3
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+ - 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+ - NCT06011018Recruiting
Mirror Therapy with Electrical Stimulation or Sound Beats after Stroke

KanoAges 5–12 - NCT06523335Recruiting

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.
