Barcelona, BarcelonaAges Any age - NCT07629791Recruiting
Augmented reality and brain stimulation for balance problems
This study tests whether combining augmented reality (a computer-based visual experience) with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help improve balance and walking in people with balance impairment. You would receive therapy sessions using both technologies together.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–90 - NCT07712198Recruiting
AI predicts muscle loss risk in brain injury ICU patients
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict which brain injury patients in the intensive care unit are at risk for muscle loss (sarcopenia). It aims to help doctors identify and prevent this complication early.
TrabzonAges 18–65 - NCT02359812Recruiting
Robot-assisted arm and hand rehab after recent stroke
This study tests whether a robot-guided therapy program can help people regain arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. You may be able to join if you are within a month of a first stroke on one side and have specific levels of arm and hand recovery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT02359253Recruiting
Robot-assisted arm therapy after a recent stroke
This study tests whether robot-guided therapy can improve arm and hand recovery after a stroke. You may be a candidate if your stroke was recent and you still have certain levels of arm weakness and movement.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT05907629Recruiting
MRI study comparing blood thinners after a certain stroke
This trial looks at MRI scans to compare two types of blood-thinning medicines (one that affects blood-clotting and one that affects platelets) after a recent stroke caused by severe narrowing in certain brain arteries. It may help doctors understand which treatment works best while checking how the blood vessels and brain tissue look on MRI.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07011173RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Arm Muscle Coordination After Stroke
This early-phase study looks at how your muscles work together during arm movements after a stroke. It may help find better ways to improve arm and hand function.

Looking for blood markers that predict complications after TAVI
This study enrolls older adults having a minimally invasive heart valve procedure (TAVI) to find “epigenetic” risk markers—signals in the body that may predict who is more likely to have complications during the procedure. If you qualify, your blood and/or samples may be studied to improve safety for future patients.
LilleAges 70 years+ - NCT03153683Recruiting
Brain and blood clot registry for adults having brain blood tests
This study is a registry, meaning it collects information from people having surgery or procedures for problems involving blood vessels in the brain. It may help researchers better understand brain blood conditions and clots by tracking patterns over time.
