Recruiting studies
- NCT07135310Recruiting
Stroke 120 action for faster treatment
This trial tests a program called STROKE 120 that teaches communities in China how to recognize stroke symptoms and call an ambulance quickly. The goal is to see if it helps people get to the hospital within 4.5 hours, which can lead to better recovery.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT07347665Recruiting
Endovascular therapy for M2 segment stroke
This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot from a specific branch of a brain artery (the M2 segment) helps people recover from a stroke better than standard care alone. It is for people who have had a moderate to severe stroke within the past 24 hours and could not get clot-dissolving medicine or it didn't work.
Nishinomiya, HyōgoAges 18–84 - NCT03268668Recruiting
Study brain clot makeup and blood markers after stroke
This study looks at the composition of a stroke blood clot and compares it with blood test results to understand treatment response, stroke cause, and prognosis. It may help doctors better predict outcomes and improve care after ischemic stroke.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT03401762Recruiting
Wearable device training for stroke arm coordination
This trial tests a wearable device and training task to help improve how stroke-affected arm muscles work together. It may help reduce unwanted “extra muscle effort” and improve control in people with recent or long-term stroke.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 21 years+ - NCT03980457Recruiting
Exoskeleton walking therapy for stroke recovery
This trial studies whether assisted walking training with an exoskeleton can improve recovery after stroke, especially for walking and daily function. You may be offered therapy once you are medically stable, able to stand, and able to participate safely.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–90 - NCT04078373Recruiting
Rehab study of bladder problems after recent stroke
This trial looks at urinary (bladder) problems in people who are in the early recovery phase after a stroke, while they receive inpatient rehabilitation. It may help improve how bladder issues are managed during rehab after stroke.
LjubljanaAges Any age - NCT04175691Recruiting
Study blood RNA markers after sudden ischemic stroke
This trial looks at blood “RNA markers” (molecules that may reflect brain injury) in people who have had a new ischemic stroke. It may help doctors understand what’s happening in the body soon after stroke and possibly guide future care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT04188522Recruiting
MEG study of memory after a small stroke
This study uses a special brain scan called MEG to understand how thinking and memory change after a small ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may get scanned about 4–6 weeks after your stroke and help researchers learn what brain signals relate to recovery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT04230785Recruiting
Blood RNA test during clot-busting treatment for stroke
This trial studies special molecules in the blood (non-coding RNA) in people having an acute ischemic stroke treated with a procedure to remove clots. It may help doctors better understand how the body responds and potentially improve future stroke care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–90 - NCT04487340Recruiting
Online database for people with acute stroke care
This study sets up an online database to track people who have had a stroke soon after it happens. The goal is to understand and improve how stroke care quality is evaluated.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT04594837Recruiting
Robotic ankle device therapy after stroke-related foot drop
This study tests a robotic ankle device to help improve walking in people after a stroke who still have foot drop (the foot doesn’t lift well). It may help strengthen or retrain walking patterns during recovery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04903951RecruitingPhase 2
Check if early breathing support after stroke helps sleep apnea
This trial tests whether starting a breathing-support treatment soon after a first stroke improves outcomes in people who also have sleep apnea. It may help reduce complications and support recovery if you meet the specific timing and health criteria.
Matosinhos MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04915027Recruiting
Digital follow-up tool for people recovering after stroke
This trial studies a patient-centered digital check-in tool to support follow-up care after stroke. It may help people track recovery and stay connected to support during the months after stroke.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT04945174Recruiting
Stroke prevention program with exercise and education
This trial tests a structured “stroke school” program that includes supervised physical activity, education, and follow-up coaching to help reduce future stroke and heart problems. It may help people with minor stroke or a TIA who don’t need rehabilitation but do need safer ways to be more active.
Copenhagen, HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT05113043Recruiting
Study links gut changes with stroke in younger adults
This study looks at whether differences in gut bacteria (microecology) are linked to stroke in adults ages 18–45. You may be asked to provide stool (fecal) samples soon after admission to help researchers understand possible connections.
ShanghaiAges 18–45 - NCT05140148RecruitingPhase 2
Amantadine to help recovery after stroke
This Phase 2 study tests whether the medicine amantadine can improve recovery after a recent stroke. It may help some people regain function during early rehabilitation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT05155137RecruitingPhase 3
Daily pill and home risk check to prevent stroke and memory loss
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a daily “polypill” plus a simple home risk-check plan can lower the chance of stroke and future thinking/memory problems. It is aimed at adults at moderate risk but who have not had stroke or heart disease before.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 50–75 - NCT05195658Recruiting
Stent vs standard treatment for acute carotid artery stroke
This trial studies whether placing a special device (a micronet-covered stent) can improve treatment of certain acute strokes caused by blockage at the carotid artery “bifurcation” (where the artery splits). It is meant for people who need an urgent, catheter-based procedure to open the blocked vessel.
KrakowAges 18 years+ - NCT05199194RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting before or during procedure for acute stroke
This study compares two treatment approaches for a stroke caused by a blocked brain artery: doing a procedure to remove the clot alone versus giving an IV clot-busting medicine first (tenecteplase). It aims to see which approach works better and is safest for improving recovery.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–85 - NCT05230914Recruiting
Choosing the best scan for stroke clot removal
This trial compares different scan choices to help doctors decide the best approach for removing a stroke clot. It aims to improve outcomes after emergency stroke treatment by using the right imaging information.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05263804Recruiting
Study uses MRI and blood clues after ischemic stroke
This study looks for biological and imaging markers that may predict heart/vascular outcomes after an ischemic stroke. You may join if you are eligible for standard stroke treatment and can complete planned follow-up and MRI scans.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT05268861Recruiting
Understanding brain learning after stroke during arm training
This study looks at how thinking and brain processes affect learning to move your arm after a stroke. You may be asked to do arm tasks in a way that helps the researchers understand what helps or limits motor learning.
Laval, QuebecAges 40–75 - NCT05277129Recruiting
Study of the immune response soon after stroke
This study looks at how your body’s immune system reacts in the first hours after a stroke. It may help researchers understand stroke-related immune changes and improve future treatments.
LørenskogAges 18 years+ - NCT05293080RecruitingPhase 3
Early heart rhythm treatment to help prevent stroke
This trial tests an early treatment approach for people who had a recent ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) and have an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to lower the chance of having another stroke by treating AF as early as possible after the stroke.

- 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.
