Recruiting studies
- NCT07356687Recruiting
Transcranial magnetic stimulation with walking training for stroke recovery
This trial studies whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with walking and thinking exercises helps improve walking and memory after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and can walk on their own for at least 1 minute.

Stroke treatment with tenecteplase via artery
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase given directly into the brain artery for people having a moderate stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized blood vessel. The goal is to see if it helps improve recovery when given within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07362303Recruiting

This trial tests if a type of heat therapy called electronic moxibustion, timed according to traditional Chinese medicine principles, can help relieve constipation in people who have had a stroke.
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 30–80 - NCT07374276Recruiting
Brain-computer interface with virtual reality for stroke recovery
This trial tests if combining a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) with virtual reality (an immersive computer environment) can help improve arm movement after a stroke. It might be a good fit if you had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago and still have some weakness in one arm.
Alcabideche, Lisbon DistrictAges 18–80 - NCT07375966RecruitingPhase 2
Repeated clot-busting drug for stroke with large vessel block
This trial tests if giving a second dose of the clot-busting drug tenecteplase can help people whose stroke symptoms don't improve after the first dose, when a large or medium artery in the brain is still blocked. It may be an option for patients who cannot have a mechanical clot removal procedure.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT07375953RecruitingPhase 2
Repeated clot-busting drug for stroke within 3 hours
This trial tests if giving a second dose of a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) helps people who had a stroke and didn't improve much after the first dose. You must receive the second dose within 4.5 hours of your stroke symptoms starting.
Shenyang, None SelectedAges 18–80 - NCT07381491Recruiting
Core and hip exercises for balance after stroke
This trial tests if adding special hip exercises to core strengthening can improve trunk control and balance in people who had a stroke 2 weeks to 6 months ago. It may help those who can still walk a little.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–60 - NCT07384650Recruiting
Nurse-led rehab to improve daily activity after stroke
This trial tests a nurse-led home rehabilitation program for stroke survivors in Bangladesh. It aims to help you move better, do daily tasks, and get more involved in your community.
Dhaka, Dhaka DivisionAges 18 years+ - NCT07387328Recruiting
Testing new sensor placement for leg muscles in stroke survivors
This study checks if new guidelines for placing sensors on leg muscles work well in people who have had a stroke. It could help improve how we measure muscle activity during walking and other movements.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT07396337RecruitingPhase 2
Study of QHRD106 injection for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests an investigational drug, QHRD106, given as an injection for people who have had a moderate-to-severe acute ischemic stroke. It aims to see if the drug can help recovery when given within 24 hours after the stroke starts, and it is for patients who are not receiving standard clot-busting treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT00682695Recruiting
Study genetic and environmental risks for brain bleeding stroke
This study looks at how genes and life factors may contribute to a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. You may be eligible if you’ve had a spontaneous (not caused by injury or infection) brain bleed and can complete consent, interviews, blood pressure checks, and a DNA sample.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT01364168Recruiting
Study of new stroke patients and what happens next
This study follows people after a first acute ischemic stroke (a blockage-related stroke) to learn what to expect in the days and months after. Your participation could help doctors better understand recovery and outcomes and improve future care.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT00009243Recruiting
Understanding How Strokes Develop: A Research Study
This study follows people who have had or are at risk for stroke to understand what causes strokes and how they develop over time. By participating, you help researchers learn more about stroke prevention and treatment.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–120 - NCT00084292Recruiting
Registry for stroke in infants and children worldwide
This study collects information from children who have had a stroke or conditions that increase stroke risk. By joining this registry, your child's medical information helps doctors better understand and treat strokes in young patients.
Toronto, OntarioAges Up to 18 years - NCT02098265Recruiting
Brain-signal device for stroke arm rehabilitation
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT02795052Recruiting
Stem cell treatment trial for nerve injury
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT02879123Recruiting
Recovery after stroke treatment with a clot-removal procedure
This trial studies how the brain and nervous system recover about 3 months after a clot-removal treatment for an acute ischemic stroke. It may help doctors better understand what recovery looks like after this kind of stroke care.
ParisAges Any age - NCT02896348Recruiting
Home therapy training for hand function after stroke
This trial tests a physio-and-neuro “platform” to help retrain hand movement at home in people who are at least 6 months out from a stroke. It may help improve hand function and confidence doing daily tasks using an at-home retraining program.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–80 - NCT02662751Recruiting

- Are there clinical trials for stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,754 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.
