Cognitive-motor training for stroke and Moyamoya disease
This trial tests a combined thinking and movement training program for people who have had a stroke or have Moyamoya disease and still have some thinking or movement problems. It may help improve both mental and physical abilities.
TaipeiAges 20–100 - NCT07137832RecruitingPhase 3
Testing clot-busting drug during stroke treatment for medium vessel blockages
This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medication directly into the brain's blood vessels during a standard procedure (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people with a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It may be an option for patients who arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of symptom onset and have enough salvageable brain tissue.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07135791Recruiting
Tracking daily fatigue in adults with brain injury or cerebral palsy
This study uses a smartphone app to track how fatigue changes throughout the day in adults with cerebral palsy or acquired brain injury. The goal is to better understand fatigue patterns so doctors can offer better support.
Glostrup MunicipalityAges 30–65 - NCT07141303RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid after stroke clot removal for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion
This trial tests if giving a steroid (methylprednisolone) directly into the brain artery after successful clot removal improves recovery. It is for people who had a large stroke in the front part of the brain and got the clot out within 24 hours.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07127172Recruiting
Brain implant study for controlling devices with your mind
This study tests a brain implant that lets you control external devices like a computer or tablet just by thinking. It is for people with paralysis or severe weakness in both arms due to conditions like spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke.
London, Greater LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07130968Enrolling by invitation
Heart and lung function study with exercise test and five-year follow-up
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work during exercise by using a special test called a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Researchers will follow you for up to five years to see how your health changes. It may help you understand your heart condition better and get more personalized care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07127367Recruiting
Memory treatment study for stroke survivors
This trial tests a new way to help people improve memory and learning after a stroke. If you had a stroke more than a year ago and still have trouble remembering, this study might be able to help.
East Hanover, New JerseyAges 60 years+ - NCT07127861Recruiting
Walking training on a treadmill after stroke
This study tests whether treadmill walking can improve how well people walk after a stroke. It may help those who already have some walking ability but want to get better.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 18–80 - NCT07129603Recruiting
Detecting Brain Complications After a Non-Traumatic Bleed
This study looks for clues in your blood or spinal fluid that might predict brain spasms, delayed damage, or infections after a brain bleed. If you already need a drain to remove fluid, you could be a candidate.
DebrecenAges 18 years+ - NCT05397873Recruiting
Biofeedback training to improve vision in hemianopia
This trial tests whether guided “biofeedback” training can help people with hemianopia (a vision field loss) improve how they use their remaining vision. You may be asked to complete vision testing and practice exercises while receiving feedback based on your responses.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–90 - NCT07115940Recruiting
Clot removal after 24 hours for stroke patients
This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT07118345Recruiting
Checking if early skull surgery helps after a major stroke
This study looks at whether doing a surgery to remove part of the skull (decompressive hemicraniectomy) soon after removing a large blood clot from the brain helps people who have had a very severe stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke caused by a blockage in a major artery and have already had a procedure to open that artery.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07108088Recruiting
Walking aid study for foot and ankle weakness
This study tests a leg brace (orthosis) called NEUROSWING to see if it helps people with foot drop or other foot and ankle weakness walk faster. It is a real-world study to support coverage by French health insurance.
Hérouville-Saint-ClairAges 18 years+ - NCT07112911Recruiting
Electrical stimulation with robot for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation with a robotic device can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good option if you have some movement in your arm but not full strength.
Hong KongAges 25–70 - NCT06920303Recruiting
Comparing two tests for stroke diagnosis
This trial compares a non-invasive ultrasound test (Transcranial Colour Coded Duplex) to a CT angiography scan for diagnosing stroke. It may help find a simpler and safer way to assess strokes and transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes).
SohagAges Any age - NCT07099599Recruiting
Image test for blood flow after stroke treatment
This trial uses a special imaging technique to check if blood flow has fully returned to the brain after a stroke clot is removed. It aims to improve understanding of how well the brain's tiny blood vessels are working after treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07104487RecruitingPhase 2
PET/MRI scan to detect inflammation in carotid artery disease
This study tests whether a special type of PET/MRI scan can help doctors see inflammation in the carotid artery after a stroke or mini-stroke. By using a radioactive tracer, the scan may identify which patients have dangerous plaque buildup that could lead to another stroke.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07105358Recruiting
Vision recovery study after brain damage
This study tests whether the brain can improve vision after damage caused by stroke, tumor, or injury. It may help people with vision loss from a brain lesion find new ways to see better.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06395272Recruiting
Can a device improve walking after a stroke?
This trial tests a device called SURA that stimulates feeling in the ankle after a stroke. It may help people who have foot drop or trouble lifting their foot while walking.

- 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.
