West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–85 - NCT06226493Recruiting
Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Stroke Recovery
This early-stage study tests if putting a mild electrical pulse on the vagus nerve (a nerve in the neck) can help the brain heal after a first-time stroke. It looks for changes in brain activity and certain DNA markers to understand how the treatment works.
Pomona, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06212674RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke prevention: combined heart procedure for atrial fibrillation
This study tests a combined approach — a catheter ablation to fix the irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) and a device to close the left atrial appendage — in people who recently had a stroke caused by a clot. The goal is to prevent future strokes and reduce the need for long-term blood thinners.
Katowice, Upper SilesiaAges 18–75 - NCT06226805RecruitingPhase 2
Study of BB-031 for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests a new drug called BB-031 for people who have had a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain. The drug may help restore blood flow and reduce damage if given within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06123650Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation plus therapy for swallowing after stroke
This study tests whether adding a gentle magnetic brain stimulation (called rTMS) to standard swallowing therapy can help prevent pneumonia in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It might reduce the risk of getting a lung infection.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 49–65 - NCT06192953Recruiting
Early movement therapy after stroke
This trial tests a type of therapy that uses gentle movements and pressure to help your brain and body recover after a stroke. It's for people who recently had a stroke and have weakness on one side, and you will be asked to do special exercises guided by a therapist.
NiceAges 18–100 - NCT06170944Recruiting
Stroke recovery: Testing blood flow boost therapy
This study tests a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning. It uses a blood pressure cuff on your arm to temporarily restrict blood flow, which may help improve blood flow to the brain after a stroke. The goal is to see if this can strengthen the brain's backup blood vessels and aid recovery.
ShenyangAges 40 years+ - NCT06166862Recruiting
Mirroring and imagining movements after stroke
This study tests if watching and imagining movements can help people who had a stroke within the last year walk better and move easier.
Karaman, KaramanAges 18–65 - NCT06175715Recruiting
General vs. local anesthesia for carotid artery surgery after stroke
This trial compares two types of anesthesia for people who need surgery to clean out a blocked carotid artery after a recent stroke. It aims to see which anesthesia method leads to better recovery after the surgery.
MoscowAges 40–80 - NCT06155032Recruiting
Clot Removal for Worsening Mild Stroke
This trial tests whether emergency clot removal (endovascular therapy) can help people whose mild stroke gets worse within a week. It's for those who have a blockage in a large brain artery and enough healthy brain tissue to save.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06143488Recruiting
Clot removal versus medication for mild stroke with large vessel blockage
This trial compares a procedure to remove the blockage (endovascular therapy) with the best medications alone for people who have a mild stroke caused by a large blocked artery in the brain. The goal is to see if the procedure can improve recovery better than medicine alone.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06096831Enrolling by invitation
