Sleep patterns and recovery after first stroke
This study looks at how sleep affects recovery in people who have had their first ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot). Researchers want to understand whether sleep quality influences how well patients regain function after stroke.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07581210RecruitingPhase 2
QD202 Study for Recent Stroke Treated With Clot-Busting Medicine
This study tests whether a new drug called QD202 can help protect the brain and improve recovery when given alongside standard clot-busting therapy (thrombolysis) for acute ischemic stroke. You would be in the trial if you had a stroke in the last 24 hours and are receiving or planning to receive thrombolytic treatment.
Meizhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT07589855Recruiting
Touch therapy for neglect awareness after stroke
This study tests whether regular touch-based therapy can help stroke survivors who ignore one side of their body (called unilateral neglect). You would receive therapy sessions, likely at home, to see if this treatment improves your awareness and function.
Newcastle-under-LymeAges 18 years+ - NCT07591272Recruiting
Dance therapy to help people recover from stroke
This study tests whether adaptive dance activities can help people in early stroke recovery regain movement and function. You would participate in dance-based exercises during your hospital stay as part of your stroke care.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT07598435Recruiting
Arm Recovery Exercises After Stroke: Two Training Methods Compared
This study tests two different physical therapy approaches to help improve arm movement and function in people recovering from stroke. You'll participate in therapy sessions using either rhythmic initiation (guided movement exercises) or isometric training (muscle-tightening exercises) to see which helps your arm recover better.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07600996Recruiting
Brain Fluid Markers in Stroke and Alzheimer's Disease
This study examines special proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around your brain and spinal cord) to better understand ischemic stroke and Alzheimer's disease. Researchers hope these markers will help predict outcomes and guide future treatments.
Beijing, None SelectedAges 18 years+ - NCT07603102Recruiting
Mindfulness and Walking Training for Memory After Stroke
This study tests whether combining mindfulness meditation with balance and walking exercises can help improve memory and thinking skills in people who had a stroke. The trial focuses on people with mild cognitive impairment—difficulty thinking clearly—after stroke recovery.
NanjingAges 55 years+ - NCT07604181Recruiting
Telerehabilitation vs clinic therapy for stroke arm recovery
This trial compares two ways of helping stroke survivors regain arm and hand function: therapy done remotely online versus in-person at a clinic. Both use a specialized approach called constraint-induced movement therapy, which encourages use of the weaker arm. The study aims to see which method works better for people in the first 6 months after stroke.
Faisalabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–70 - NCT07606807RecruitingPhase 3
New clot-busting medication for stroke in the extended time window
This trial tests a new medication called rhTNK-tPA for treating acute ischemic stroke (a clot in the brain) up to 24 hours after symptom onset. The study uses simplified imaging to determine eligibility and aims to help patients recover better outcomes.
GuangzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT07608588Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Language Recovery After Stroke
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people regain language skills after a left-sided stroke, particularly for word-finding and meaning difficulties. Researchers will target specific brain regions to see if stimulation improves recovery.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07609407Recruiting
Pelvic Stability Training After Stroke for Leg Function
This study tests whether special exercises focused on stabilizing your pelvis (hip area) can help improve leg strength and movement after a stroke. The training is designed for people in the early recovery phase who are learning to stand and walk again.
Faisalabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07609966Recruiting
Virtual Reality for Stroke Arm Recovery
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises help stroke patients recover arm and hand movement faster and better. You'd use VR games alongside your regular rehabilitation therapy in the hospital and after going home.
GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT07614074Recruiting
Understanding Recovery from Coma and Unconsciousness
This study follows patients who have been in a coma (deep unconsciousness) for at least 24 hours due to a brain injury. Researchers will track how patients recover over time to better understand which factors help predict who will wake up and how well they'll recover.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07619703Recruiting
Stroke Recovery Program Combining Therapy and Brain Stimulation
This study tests whether combining a hand-therapy program (CIMT) with mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) helps women recover hand function and quality of life after a stroke. You would attend therapy sessions over several weeks while receiving non-invasive brain stimulation to help rewire your brain's movement control.
Temuco, AraucaniaAges 30–85 - NCT07623512Recruiting
Brain imaging to track arm recovery after stroke
This study uses a safe brain-imaging technology called fNIRS to measure how your brain changes during arm recovery after stroke. The goal is to better understand how rehabilitation helps your brain reorganize and improve arm function.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT07627516Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for arm and leg weakness after stroke
This trial tests whether a spinal cord stimulation device—a small implant that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help improve arm and leg strength and movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and haven't fully recovered with regular therapy. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 20–80 - NCT07641790Recruiting
Vibration Devices to Improve Arm Movement After Stroke
This study tests whether wearing small vibrating devices on your arm can help improve movement and function in the arm weakened by stroke. The vibrations may help retrain your brain and muscles to work together better during the recovery period.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–60 - NCT07646418Recruiting
Light therapy and blood-flow restriction for stroke recovery
This study tests whether combining light therapy with blood-flow restriction exercise (a technique that limits blood flow during gentle movement) helps improve arm strength and reduce muscle stiffness in people recovering from stroke. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–70 - NCT07646522RecruitingPhase 2
Home-Based Arm Recovery Program After Stroke in Brazil
This study tests whether telehealth (video-guided) exercises can help people recover arm function after a recent stroke. You'll do exercises at home with remote support and guidance, and researchers will track your progress over 6 weeks.
Ribeirão Preto, São PauloAges 18–80 - NCT07651306Recruiting
Bone Loss After Stroke: New X-ray Detection Method
This study tests whether a new way of measuring X-rays can detect bone loss in the shoulder after a stroke. The research may help doctors identify patients at risk for fractures earlier.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07652970Recruiting
Home video therapy for severe stroke recovery
This study tests whether a new therapy done at home via video calls can help people with severe, long-lasting stroke regain leg movement and walking ability. If you have trouble walking or moving your leg on one side, this may be an option.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT07661849Recruiting
Comparing remote vs. in-person arm therapy after stroke
This trial compares two types of therapy—telehealth sessions at home versus in-person sessions—to help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It aims to see if remote therapy works as well as coming to the clinic.

- 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.
