AI predicts atrial fibrillation after stroke of unknown cause
This trial uses an artificial intelligence (AI) program to see if it can predict which patients who had a stroke from an unknown cause might develop atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). If you have a small heart monitor already implanted, the AI will analyze your ECGs to find early signs of AFib, which could help prevent future strokes.
AnsanAges 30 years+ - NCT07345702Recruiting
Endovascular therapy for large core posterior stroke
This trial tests endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot through a tube in an artery) versus medical management for people with a severe stroke due to a blockage in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and a large area of brain damage. The goal is to see if the procedure improves outcomes compared to medication alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07343895Recruiting
Atrial fibrillation screening in people with high NT-proBNP
This study is checking people over 40 who have a higher-than-average heart stress marker (NT-proBNP) to see if they have undiagnosed atrial fibrillation. You'll use a smartphone to track your heart rhythm at home.
TromsøAges 40 years+ - NCT07344610Recruiting
Short-term high-dose statin therapy after stroke
This trial tests whether starting a high dose of a statin (a cholesterol-lowering medicine) soon after a stroke can improve your cholesterol levels. It is for people who have had a stroke or have significant narrowing of arteries in the brain or neck.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07334977RecruitingPhase 2

Tulln, Low AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06601127RecruitingPhase 2
Tiprogrel for recent minor stroke or high-risk TIA
This trial tests a new anti-platelet drug called Tiprogrel to prevent another stroke in people who recently had a minor stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) with certain artery narrowing or plaques. It aims to see if this medicine is safe and works better than current treatments.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 40 years+ - NCT07332234Recruiting
Optic nerve ultrasound for brain inflammation and pressure
This study uses a quick ultrasound of the optic nerve to help doctors detect swelling or pressure in the brain. It may help people with suspected meningitis, encephalitis, stroke, or brain tumors decide on the best treatment earlier.
Bucharest, BucharestAges 18–60 - NCT07331896Recruiting
Attention Training for Stroke Survivors with Spatial Neglect
This study tests a strategy-training program to help people who have had a stroke and struggle with spatial neglect (trouble paying attention to one side). The program is designed to improve attention and daily function. Participation involves coming to the University of Pittsburgh for training sessions.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07325604Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for facial weakness after stroke
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation (called NMES) can help people with facial weakness after a first stroke. You would do facial exercises during the stimulation to see if it helps you regain movement.
HammelAges 18 years+ - NCT03987633Recruiting
Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT06156813Recruiting
Turkish lower limb movement log for stroke patients
This study aims to adapt a questionnaire that measures how well stroke survivors can use their legs in daily life. It may help doctors better understand your recovery and guide your rehabilitation.
GaziantepAges 18–80 - NCT07324421Recruiting
Ultrasound vs. CT scan for brain blood flow imaging
This study compares a new ultrasound-based method to a standard CT scan for measuring blood flow in the brain. It is designed for people in the ICU or CCU who are already scheduled for a CT scan and could benefit from a simpler, more portable imaging option.
Montpellier, HeraultAges 18 years+ - NCT06869811Recruiting
Stroke prevention after failed blood thinners
This study is for people who had a stroke despite taking blood thinners for atrial fibrillation. It tests if adding a procedure to close the left atrial appendage (a small pouch in the heart) to your blood thinner is better than just taking the blood thinner alone to prevent another stroke.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–95 - NCT07319013Recruiting
AI Ultrasound for Early Brain Bleed Detection
This trial uses an AI-assisted ultrasound to quickly detect brain bleeding in people with acute stroke. It may help speed up diagnosis and treatment.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07318948Recruiting
Blood pressure control in stroke patients receiving thrombolysis
This trial tests a strategy for managing high blood pressure in people having an acute ischemic stroke who are about to receive clot-busting medication. It aims to see if carefully lowering blood pressure within a specific range improves outcomes.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06829212Recruiting
