Recruiting studies
- NCT07566598Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow Measurement After Stroke Treatment
This study measures how well blood flows through the brain after a special procedure to remove a blood clot causing stroke. Researchers use a tiny temperature sensor to understand blood circulation, which may help improve stroke care.
Nice, Alpes-maritimesAges 18–80 - NCT07562178Recruiting
Pemafibrate to prevent stroke from brain artery narrowing
This trial tests whether a medication called pemafibrate can help prevent future strokes in people who have had a recent stroke or TIA (mini-stroke) caused by a narrowed artery inside the brain. The medication works by lowering triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood).
Toyoake, Aichi-kenAges 18 years+ - NCT07552610Recruiting
Sivelestat sodium added to clot removal surgery for stroke
This trial tests whether adding a medication called sivelestat sodium to emergency clot removal surgery (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes in patients with a specific type of stroke caused by a large blood clot in the front part of the brain. The goal is to see if this combination treatment leads to better recovery.
Weifang, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07555977Recruiting
Clot removal methods for acute ischemic stroke
This trial compares two ways of removing a blood clot from a large artery in the brain during an ischemic stroke. It might help you by finding out which method restores blood flow more safely and effectively.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06559475Recruiting
Testing a new aspiration catheter for large vessel stroke
This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06527742Recruiting
Body health and recovery during rehabilitation
This study looks at how body composition, frailty, and function change during rehabilitation. It may help understand recovery patterns.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT06663631RecruitingPhase 1
Hibernation-like therapy for stroke recovery after clot removal
This trial tests if a hibernation-like therapy can improve recovery after a stroke caused by a large blood clot in the brain. It is for people who are having a stroke and are scheduled for a procedure to remove the clot.
Linyi, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06091332RecruitingPhase 2
Sirolimus for brainstem cavernoma bleeding
This trial tests if sirolimus, a medicine that may help reduce abnormal blood vessels, can prevent another brain bleed in people who recently had a bleed from a brainstem cavernoma. You would receive either sirolimus or a placebo to see if it works.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07534319Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow Changes After Stroke Clot Removal
This study examines how blood flow in the brain changes after a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot during an acute stroke. The research uses MRI imaging to understand brain recovery patterns and may help improve stroke treatment outcomes.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07529054Recruiting
Robot-Assisted Walking Training After Stroke
This trial tests whether a robotic device that helps guide your walking can improve mobility and function after a stroke. If you've had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have some difficulty walking, this training might help you regain strength and independence.
Gröbming, StyriaAges 18–80 - NCT07530588Recruiting
Remote CT imaging for fast stroke treatment decisions
This study tests whether CT scans done remotely (by doctors at a distance) can help stroke patients receive clot-busting treatment faster. Stroke treatment works best when given quickly, and this approach aims to speed up diagnosis in areas far from major hospitals.
SandnessjøenAges 18 years+ - NCT07528261Recruiting
Support Group for Family Caregivers of Stroke Survivors
This study tests whether a support group using acceptance and commitment therapy (a type of counseling that helps people cope with stress) can reduce caregiver burden and distress. You would meet online with other people caring for stroke survivors.
Alameda, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT07525713Recruiting
Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy for Stroke Recovery
This trial tests a virtual reality system that uses mirror therapy—a technique where you practice movements with your unaffected side while watching a reflection—to help improve movement and function after stroke. The system uses special attention-focusing technology to help your brain relearn movements on the affected side.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 20–80 - NCT07520565RecruitingPhase 3
Emergency stroke treatment with BXOS110 within 3 hours
This trial tests whether BXOS110, an experimental injection, can help people recover better after an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot) when given within 3 hours of symptom onset. The study compares BXOS110 to a placebo to see if it reduces disability and improves recovery.
Hengshui, HebeiAges 18–85 - NCT07516522RecruitingPhase 2
Steroid injection during stroke clot removal surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a steroid (methylprednisolone) directly into brain blood vessels after removing a stroke clot helps reduce brain swelling and improve recovery. You would be eligible if you had a large clot stroke in the front part of your brain that was successfully removed within the past 24 hours.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07519876Recruiting
Blood Clots in the Lungs and Heart Shunts Study
This study looks at whether people with blood clots in their lungs have hidden holes in their hearts that let blood bypass normal circulation. Researchers will use imaging tests to understand this connection and see if it affects how patients do.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07521930Recruiting
Brain implant to restore communication and movement control
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain device designed to help people with severe paralysis or movement disorders regain the ability to communicate and control their limbs. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into commands that could help you interact with computers or assistive technology.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT07521384Enrolling by invitation
Real-World Study of Intranasal Cell Therapy for Brain Injuries
This study follows people who receive intranasal stem cell or exosome therapy (tiny packages from special cells) for brain or neurological conditions like stroke, brain injury, or cerebral palsy. Researchers track how well the treatment works by measuring inflammation markers in the blood and monitoring clinical improvements over time.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 4–80 - NCT04142866Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus language practice for chronic aphasia
This study tests whether mild brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with language exercises can improve communication after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to help compare brain and language task results.

- 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.
