This trial tests if using virtual reality (VR) exercises early after an ischemic stroke can help improve arm muscle strength, thinking skills, and mood. It is for people who have had a stroke within the last 10 days.
TaipeiAges 18–85 - NCT07496853Recruiting
Arm support's effect on walking after stroke
This study looks at whether using a cane or other support for your affected arm can improve how you walk. If you had a stroke and have trouble using one side of your body, this trial may help find better ways to help you move safely.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07497464Recruiting
Handedness test for stroke recovery
This trial tests if a simple, free task can recognize handedness in people who have had a stroke. It aims to help tailor rehabilitation after a stroke.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07506174Recruiting
Pelvic PNF and trunk training for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether combining pelvic PNF (a therapy that uses specific patterns to improve movement) with trunk training can help people with chronic stroke walk better and improve balance.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–75 - NCT07509645RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug with clot removal for severe back-of-the-brain stroke
This trial checks if adding an interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor (a drug that reduces inflammation) to standard emergency clot removal can improve recovery for people with a severe stroke affecting the back part of the brain (posterior circulation). It is for patients who need urgent treatment within 24 hours of symptom onset.
Suzhou, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07509944Recruiting
Brain activity in stroke patients during mirror movement
This study uses a brain imaging technique called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to look at how the brain works when stroke patients perform mirror movements. It aims to help understand brain recovery after a first-time stroke.
HangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT07510633Recruiting
Mobile brain/body imaging for robotic gait rehab after stroke
This trial uses a mobile brain and body imaging system to help improve walking with a robotic exoskeleton in people who have had a stroke. It could help you walk better during overground gait training.
Costa Masnaga, LeccoAges 18 years+ - NCT07519044RecruitingPhase 4
GM1 drug added to clot removal for acute stroke
This study tests whether adding a medicine called GM1 to emergency clot-removal surgery helps people recover better from sudden strokes caused by blood clots in major brain arteries. GM1 may protect brain cells from damage during and after the stroke.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07520032Recruiting
Shockwave therapy for arm function after stroke
This trial tests whether a non-invasive shockwave treatment can help improve arm movement and strength in people who had their first stroke within the past 6 months. The goal is to see if this therapy reduces stiffness and helps patients regain better use of their arm.
Ajman, Ajman EmirateAges 18–65 - NCT07523503Recruiting
One-sided vs. both-sides arm training after stroke
This study compares two ways of doing hand and arm exercises after stroke: practicing with just your weak arm, or practicing with both arms together. The goal is to see which approach helps you regain better movement, strength, and hand coordination.
Kot AdduAges 40–75 - NCT07540741Recruiting
PCSK9 Inhibitors for Large-Artery Stroke Recovery
This trial tests whether a cholesterol-lowering medication called evolocumab (a PCSK9 inhibitor) can help people recover better after a specific type of stroke caused by clogged arteries. The study checks if lowering cholesterol further than usual statins do improves stroke outcomes and is safe.
HeilongjiangAges 18–80 - NCT07550270Recruiting
Virtual Reality Walking Training After Stroke
This study tests whether a combination of weight-supported walking equipment and virtual reality games can help stroke patients improve their walking ability and muscle control. The training aims to make walking safer and easier during recovery.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 45–75 - NCT07556068Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow Recovery After Stroke Clot Removal
This study enrolls people who had an acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blood clot) and received emergency treatment to remove the clot. Researchers want to understand why some patients recover well while others don't, by measuring how the brain regulates its own blood flow after treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07558876Recruiting
Upper limb training with vibration therapy after stroke
This trial tests whether combining task-oriented exercises with focal vibration (gentle vibrating stimulation) can help improve arm and hand function and feeling in people who've had a stroke. The vibration aims to help your brain better sense where your hand is and what it's touching.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT07565363Recruiting
Motor Imagery Training for Stroke Arm Recovery
This study tests whether imagining arm movements (without actually moving) can help improve arm function in people recovering from stroke. Participants will practice visualizing movements to see if it helps restore strength and control in their affected arm.
