Recruiting studies
- NCT07642154Recruiting
Balance and Sensory Training After Stroke
This study compares two types of physical therapy to help stroke patients improve balance, sensation in their legs, and confidence walking. The goal is to see which approach works better for people recovering from stroke.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–65 - NCT07643337Recruiting
Vagus Nerve Stimulation With Rehab to Improve Walking After Stroke
This study tests whether vagus nerve stimulation (a small device that stimulates a nerve in your neck) combined with rehabilitation therapy can help improve walking and leg function in stroke survivors. You would be one of the first to try this combination approach for stroke recovery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 22–80 - NCT06692569Recruiting
Modified physical therapy for arm and hand recovery after stroke
This study tests a type of physical therapy called modified constraint-induced movement therapy to help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago. You will be encouraged to use your affected arm more often while the stronger arm is gently restricted, which may help retrain your brain and improve movement.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 45–65 - NCT07624396Recruiting
Brain protein levels and heart-related strokes
This study looks at a brain protein called BDNF in people who've had a stroke caused by a clot from the heart. Researchers want to understand if BDNF levels can help explain why some strokes happen this way and may help doctors prevent future strokes.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07629011Recruiting
Mental imagery and robotic hand training after stroke
This trial tests whether combining mental imagery practice with a robotic hand device can help improve hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The robotic hand reads signals from your arm muscles to help you practice controlled movements.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–70 - NCT07624630Recruiting
Brain Activity and Walking After Stroke
This study examines how your brain works when you walk and think at the same time after stroke. Researchers will use brain imaging to understand this process, which could help develop better rehabilitation strategies.
Solna, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06698380Recruiting
Mirror therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether using a mirror to create the illusion of movement can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. It may be a good option if you have limited arm movement and can follow simple instructions.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 45–65 - NCT06696469Recruiting
Virtual reality for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests if a virtual reality system called BeCure can help people who had a stroke recover arm movement. It's for people who are still in the early to later stages of recovery (not the very first days) and have some movement and sitting balance.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT07620210Recruiting
Swallowing Therapy and Pressure Ball Training After Stroke
This study tests whether a swallowing therapy program (CTAR) combined with a pressure ball exercise helps older adults who had a stroke recover their ability to swallow safely. Many stroke survivors struggle with swallowing, which can lead to serious health problems, so this research aims to find better ways to help.
Tainan, Tainan CityAges 65–90 - NCT05959746Recruiting
AI video tool study for early stroke and TIA diagnosis
This study collects short video and clinical information from people being checked for stroke or a “mini-stroke” (TIA) soon after symptoms start, to help build an AI diagnostic tool. You may be contacted again for a follow-up visit within about 4 months.
Nîmes, GardAges 18 years+ - NCT07611136Recruiting
Brain Vessel Disease Progression After Different Stroke Types
This study examines how small blood vessel disease in the brain progresses differently depending on whether you've had a recent stroke. Researchers will use MRI scans to track changes over time and better understand this condition.
Ulm, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07610850Recruiting
Brain-controlled stimulation to improve arm and leg movement after stroke
This trial tests a new brain-controlled device that sends electrical signals to your spinal cord to help restore arm and leg movement after a stroke. If you had a stroke at least 9 months ago and have weakness on one side of your body, this may help you regain function.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18–70 - NCT07576647Recruiting
Improving stroke research recruitment for better outcomes
This study aims to make stroke research more inclusive by improving recruitment methods. It includes people with suspected TIA or minor stroke seen in urgent clinics, as well as those hospitalized for ischemic stroke or bleeding in the brain.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT07556887Recruiting
Using IMPROVE to Choose Carotid Artery Treatment After Stroke
This study tests whether a new tool called IMPROVE helps doctors decide if you need surgery or a stent to clear a narrowed carotid artery (a major neck blood vessel) after a recent stroke or mini-stroke. The goal is to better predict which patients will benefit most from this treatment.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07546864Recruiting
Mirror Therapy vs. Daily Activity Training After Stroke
This study compares two rehabilitation approaches—mirror therapy (using a mirror to help retrain your affected side) and cognitive orientation to daily tasks—for people recovering from stroke. The goal is to see which method helps improve arm, hand, and leg function better.
Bayburt, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT07546877Recruiting
Brain Stimulation to Improve Memory After Stroke
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve thinking and memory problems that occur after a stroke. If you've had a stroke in the past year and are experiencing cognitive difficulties, this trial may help restore some of your mental abilities.
JinanAges 35–75 - NCT06271187Recruiting
Brace Therapy for Hand Recovery After Stroke
This study tests whether a custom brace (dynamic orthosis) combined with therapy can improve hand movement in people who had a stroke at least 3 months ago. It is designed for those whose arm has some recovery but still needs help with hand opening and grasping.
TainanAges 20–80 - NCT07541560Recruiting
Group Activities and Music for Stroke Recovery
This study tests whether group leisure activities and music training can help people recover better after a stroke. You would participate in these activities during your hospital stay in the first few weeks after your stroke.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06749002Recruiting
Functional training for turning after stroke
This trial tests whether adding functional muscle training to turning-specific exercises helps people who have had a stroke turn more easily. It may benefit those who can walk with supervision and have no major memory or other neurological problems.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–60 - NCT07512739Recruiting
Sitting Tai Chi for Stroke Survivors With Cognitive Changes
This study tests whether a sitting tai chi program can help people who've had a stroke and are experiencing memory or thinking problems. You would learn tai chi movements while sitting, with your caregiver also participating in the program.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18 years+ - NCT06764797RecruitingPhase 3
Virtual reality and brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests whether combining virtual reality mirror therapy with a gentle brain stimulation technique can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe arm weakness and it has been more than three months since your stroke.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07500116Recruiting
Home monitoring after minor stroke or TIA
This study tests whether using a wearable and smartphone app at home can help monitor recovery after a minor stroke or mini-stroke (TIA) – possibly reducing hospital stays while keeping you safe. If you have mild symptoms that stabilized in the ER, and you have help at home, you may qualify.
BarcelonaAges Any age - NCT07504276Recruiting
Remote rehab vs in-person rehab for stroke recovery
This study compares doing brain-training exercises at home on a digital device versus going to a clinic after a stroke. It aims to see which method better helps improve memory, thinking, and daily function.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–80 - NCT06059144RecruitingPhase 3
Raising blood pressure for worsening small artery strokes
This trial tests if raising blood pressure slightly with a low dose of a medicine called norepinephrine can help people whose stroke symptoms are getting worse. It focuses on small, deep brain artery strokes and aims to improve recovery.
