Recruiting studies
- NCT05298436Recruiting
South London stroke registry using health data
This study collects information about people who have had a stroke to learn how to improve care and support. It mainly uses existing medical and health records rather than testing a new medicine.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05378490Recruiting
Study of stroke types and thrombolysis treatment
This study includes people who have had certain kinds of sudden brain blood-flow problems (like an ischemic stroke, bleeding in the brain, or a brief warning episode) or conditions that look similar. It looks at how treatment such as clot-busting medicine (thrombolysis) fits for these situations.
LørenskogAges 18 years+ - NCT05424978Recruiting
Standardized green-channel treatment for acute stroke care
This study tests a structured, fast way of treating people who have a new ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help because it focuses on getting the right stroke treatments quickly and consistently.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–100 - NCT05518305Recruiting
Predicting recurrent stroke risk in people with artery narrowing
This study looks at blood markers and brain/artery scan results to predict who with intracranial artery narrowing is more likely to have another stroke. It may help doctors spot higher-risk people earlier and better target prevention.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 30 years+ - NCT05561088Recruiting
Head acupuncture after stroke clot removal
This trial studies whether doing head acupuncture after a procedure to remove a stroke-causing blood clot can improve recovery and safety. You may be considered if you had endovascular clot removal within 24 hours and meet specific brain-scan and stroke-severity measures.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–100 - NCT05584124RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation treatment for lasting fatigue after stroke
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation method (repetitive magnetic pulses) to see if it can reduce fatigue that continues long after a stroke. It may help people whose stroke fatigue has lasted more than six months and who can safely undergo repeated sessions.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 34–80 - NCT05591196Recruiting
Electrical spinal stimulation to improve arm movement after stroke
This study tests a non-invasive electrical stimulation treatment meant to help people regain hand and arm movement after a stroke. You would attend frequent therapy-style sessions, and the team would track your arm function over about eight months.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 21–80 - NCT05622539Recruiting
AI decision tool to improve stroke recovery outcomes
This trial checks a “trustworthy” artificial intelligence (AI) tool that uses stroke-related information to help improve outcomes. You may be included if you had an acute stroke and can provide consent and follow-up information.
HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT05626894RecruitingPhase 2
Wrist sensor app to help use the weaker arm at home
This Phase 2 study tests a new wrist sensor system that tracks arm movement and gives feedback using a phone or tablet. It aims to improve daily use of the weaker (hemiparetic) arm in people with a prior stroke.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT05649670Recruiting
Compare starting stroke clot-busting before vs after hospital
This study tests whether starting clot-busting treatment by the emergency team before hospital arrival works better than starting it after you reach the hospital. It may help doctors improve speed and outcomes after an acute stroke.
GarchesAges 18 years+ - NCT05691244RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours
This Phase 3 trial studies sovateltide (and a placebo) in adults with an ischemic stroke, aiming to improve safety and outcomes. It focuses on people who can start treatment quickly after stroke symptoms begin and who do not have bleeding in the brain on imaging.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT05760846Recruiting
Training hand skills after a recent stroke
This study looks at a therapy that helps people with a recent stroke relearn coordinated hand and arm movements. It compares how well motor skill learning works and may help improve functional use of the affected arm.
Yvoir, NamurAges 18–90 - NCT05853796Recruiting
Studying stroke warning signs in young adults
This observational study follows people ages 18–50 who had a first TIA (“mini-stroke”) or an acute ischemic stroke to better understand what happens after the event. It may help improve future care by tracking symptoms, imaging findings, and recovery over time.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18–50 - NCT05864547Recruiting
Study risk factors for seizures after a first stroke
This study looks at what factors can make seizures happen after a first stroke. It may help doctors identify who is more at risk so future care can be better targeted.
TrondheimAges 18–85 - NCT05901675Recruiting
Weight loss and exercise after stroke in walking recovery
This trial studies whether a weight-loss plan combined with exercise can improve walking and leg movement after stroke. It may help if you have ongoing leg weakness but can still walk without devices for testing.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 35–85 - NCT05940350Recruiting
Phone and video coaching after ischemic stroke
This study tests whether tele-rehabilitation coaching delivered by phone or online can help people recover and function better after an ischemic stroke. It may support safer, more consistent rehab guidance from home, tailored through coaching sessions.
AntalyaAges 45 years+ - 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+ - NCT05974111Recruiting
Blood and clotting tests after certain types of stroke
This hospital study looks at blood and clotting (coagulation) measurements in people who arrive with specific types of stroke or brain bleeding not caused by injury. It may help doctors better understand clotting changes after these events and improve care decisions.
GenkAges 18 years+ - NCT06001736Recruiting
Nerve transfer surgery for arm weakness after stroke
This study tests a surgery called CC7 transfer, where a nerve from your healthy side is moved to help your weaker arm. It is for people whose arm has stopped getting better after a stroke and still has significant weakness.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18–65 - NCT06055569Recruiting
Rehabilitation for arm recovery after stroke using observation and muscle stimulation
This trial tests if observing arm movements paired with muscle stimulation helps stroke survivors regain arm function. It may be an option if your stroke affected one arm and you are between two weeks and six months post-stroke.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - 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.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06121219Recruiting
