Stroke treatment after 24 hours for vertebrobasilar blockage
This trial tests a method to triage people who had a stroke in the back part of the brain (vertebrobasilar artery) more than 24 hours ago. The goal is to find the best way to decide which patients may still benefit from treatment.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT06509789Recruiting
Brain stimulation intensity for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether a specific type of brain stimulation, called theta burst stimulation, can help improve arm movement in people who have had a stroke. It looks at how different intensities of the stimulation affect recovery.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT06496529Recruiting
Robot arm brace for stroke recovery
This study tests a robotic arm brace (exoskeleton) to help people who recently had a stroke and have trouble moving their arm. The goal is to see if the device can improve arm movement and daily function.
SantiagoAges 18–81 - NCT06497881Recruiting
How well your arm moves after a stroke
This study looks at how well your arm and hand move after a stroke. If you join, researchers will check your movement quality to learn more about recovery. You must be 18 or older, have been independent before your stroke, and be a patient at Adi-Negev Nahalat-Eran.
OfakimAges 18–85 - NCT06495450Recruiting
Virtual reality and treadmill training for chronic stroke recovery
This study tests if walking on a treadmill while using a special virtual reality headset can help people improve their walking after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago, can walk with some help, and live near Halifax.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06479174Recruiting
Cognitive strategies after stroke with family support
This study tests if combining cognitive exercises with a safe, mild brain stimulation can help improve memory and thinking after a stroke. It also looks at how shared family health history might affect recovery.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT06472336Recruiting
Stenting for severe stroke caused by plaque buildup
This trial tests whether placing a stent (a tiny tube) in the blocked artery in the brain can improve blood flow and help people recover from a severe stroke, especially when standard clot removal has not worked.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06446960RecruitingPhase 3
Nerve blocks for stroke-related central pain
This study tests whether numbing the nerves in your painful arm or leg (with a nerve block) can help reduce central pain after a stroke. It aims to find out how the nerves outside your brain and spinal cord may be involved.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT06458153Recruiting
Imaging speech after cerebellar stroke
This study uses brain scans to understand how the brain controls speech in people who have had a cerebellar stroke. It is looking for both stroke survivors and healthy volunteers to compare.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06440707RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation for recent stroke recovery
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help people recover from a recent stroke. It's for people who cannot have the standard clot-removal procedure and who can start treatment within 24 hours of their stroke.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06442579Recruiting
Arm swing walking study for stroke survivors
This study looks at how a stroke affects the way your arm swings naturally when you walk. Researchers want to learn how to improve walking recovery after a stroke.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18–70 - NCT05520034Recruiting
Nurse teaching plan to help prevent another stroke
This study tests whether nurse-led education and follow-up can lower the chance of having another stroke. It targets people who recently returned home after a first stroke and their main caregiver.
DhakaAges 18 years+ - NCT06430632Recruiting
Early robotic walking training after stroke
This trial tests whether early, robot-assisted walking training can help people recovering from a stroke improve their ability to walk. It uses a wearable robotic exoskeleton to support your body and guide your legs during practice.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT06400186Recruiting
Walking training to improve balance after stroke
This trial tests a new walking training method designed to help you improve your balance after a stroke. It's for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance, with or without a cane or simple ankle brace.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT06409351Recruiting
Physical activity program for stroke survivors
This trial tests a program to help people who have had a stroke get more physically active. If you are at least 6 months past your stroke, live at home, and can walk, you may be able to join a supported self-management program to build healthy habits.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–90 - NCT06402968Recruiting
Clevidipine for treating high blood pressure after a brain bleed
This trial tests a blood pressure medicine called clevidipine given through an IV to people with a brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage). The goal is to see if quickly lowering blood pressure helps prevent more bleeding and improve recovery.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06403475Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for aphasia after stroke
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the skin of the ear (called tVNS) can help improve word finding in people with aphasia after a stroke. You will use a computer speech program while receiving the stimulation or a placebo.
SheffieldAges 18 years+ - NCT06404268RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Helping stroke survivors regain ankle movement with exercise
This study tests whether gentle leg exercises can help people recovering from a recent stroke. The focus is on improving ankle movement and strength on the weak side.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–85 - NCT06391086Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for arm recovery after recent stroke
This study tests if focused ultrasound (a noninvasive sound wave therapy) can help improve arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It is for people whose stroke occurred within the last three months and who still have some arm weakness.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06398366Enrolling by invitation
Heart tests to prevent another stroke
This study looks at how heart problems might cause strokes. If you had a stroke that doctors can't explain after many tests, this trial will do extra heart monitoring to find possible causes and help prevent another stroke.

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.
